What is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday began in 2005 when the US’s National Retail Federation noticed a significant spike in online shopping on the Monday after Thanksgiving. The timing matched up with Black Friday, and it gave a boost to retailer’s online sales. So Cyber Monday is kind of a celebration of... you. Or rather it's a celebration of your love of online shopping, but the end result is a treat for you regardless!

Cyber Monday is now firmly part of the Black Friday shopping phenomenon, and its popularity is sure to continue to grow in New Zealand especially if the kind of deals we're seeing continue to get even better.

Where to shop during Cyber Monday 2022

While Cyber Monday is a somewhat new shopping event for Kiwis, plenty of retailers are sure to take part. The majority of deals will be the same offers that were available on Black Friday, provided that they didn’t sell out over the weekend.

You can expect deals from online-only sites such as TheMarket (opens in new tab) and Mighty Ape (opens in new tab), but also on the website’s of traditional brick-and-mortar stores such as PB Tech (opens in new tab), JB Hi-Fi (opens in new tab), Noel Leeming (opens in new tab) and The Warehouse (opens in new tab).

Amazon Australia (opens in new tab) are also shipping to New Zealand with a lot of their Cyber Monday deals, and given that Amazon are one of the traditionally most active retailers in sales season that's great news. Kiwis don’t yet have full access to the Amazon Australia site though, so be aware that you may not be able to get what you’re looking for from the retail giant.

When does Cyber Monday end?

Cyber Monday usually wraps up at 11:59pm NZDT on Cyber Monday, marking an official end to the busy November sale season. You’ll likely notice some good-but-not-great deals hanging around for a day or two more, but most discounts on the big-ticket items will be over. Our advice is to add to your cart and check out when you see a really good price.
