If you need it by Thanksgiving
Do not wait for Black Friday
Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26. Black Friday is the next day. If you want something on the table (or in the host's hands) by then, order now and check when to order.
Stay home. Skip the parking-lot Olympics. These are gifts built around a person or a problem, not a pallet of doorbuster TVs. Shipping is charged on top of the item price, and we only ship to US addresses.
