John Lewis has launched its Black Friday event earlier1 than ever. Starting on November 4, the aim is to help shoppers spread the cost of Christmas. Customers can snap up compelling offers across its technology and fragrance ranges, with other categories including home, fashion and beauty following in the coming weeks.
Kathleen Mitchell, Commercial Director for John Lewis, said: “We’re launching Black Friday earlier than ever this year, with hundreds of fantastic deals to support customers looking to save money and start their Christmas shopping early.
“We know that, despite the rising cost of living, our customers still want to celebrate Christmas, so our teams and suppliers have worked incredibly hard to make sure we can offer our customers great value deals on the products they love. With new deals being launched daily, we'd encourage shoppers to keep an eye on our website and shops over the coming weeks, so they don't miss out.”
Many of our Black Friday offers will run up to and include 1 December 2022, although specific offers may end pre- or post- this date. Additional benefits, unique to John Lewis customers, like our standard two-year guarantees on electricals and five-year guarantees on TVs are included (Terms & conditions apply).
Customers also have the option of paying monthly interest-free instalments for selected items over £500, when they order in-store, online or via the app (0% APR, credit subject to status.

In addition, customers can enjoy free delivery on orders over £50, or benefit from the ease of collecting their John Lewis parcels from one of our many Click & Collect points, including Booths, Co-op, Shell as well as Waitrose and John Lewis shops.
We also introduced our Christmas returns policy earlier this year - allowing customers to buy from September and still exchange or return unwanted gifts after the festive season [up until 28th January 2023].
As a purpose-led brand, we’re always looking for better ways to support more sustainable shopping. We recently launched our new FashionCycle scheme for pre-loved clothes, which rewards My John Lewis members with £5 off any fashion or home purchase when they donate five pre-loved clothing items3. We also offer a free recycling service for waste electrical and electronic equipment.
