WANTED

Black Friday is the biggest and most anticipated sale of the year in the US, traditionally held on the first Friday after Thanksgiving. During this period, American brands and retailers clear their warehouses ahead of Christmas, slashing prices on clothing, footwear, cosmetics, and electronics by 40–85%.

Shopping directly from the US on Black Friday is a smart move for several reasons:

• Truly maximum discounts: American stores sell both past and current collections at cost price, and fierce competition between retailers drives prices to all-time lows.
• 100% authenticity guaranteed: you buy directly from official brand websites (Nike, Levi's, New Balance, Apple) with no risk of receiving a fake or replica, which are common on marketplaces.
• 0% state tax: when shipping to the Prostobox warehouse in Delaware, sales tax is 0%, whereas orders shipped to other states can add up to 10% to your total.
• Real savings: even with international air shipping included, the final price of sneakers, a down jacket, or a smartphone can be 1.5–3 times cheaper than in local stores.

The official Black Friday 2026 date is Friday, November 27, 2026. However, the sale rolls out in waves throughout almost the entire month of November:

• From November 1 to 25, retailers (Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy) launch Early Black Friday deals.
• On the evening of Thursday, November 26 (Thanksgiving Day), the key online sales kick off.
• November 27 — the peak, with discounts of up to 85%.
• November 28–29 — a weekend of clearance deals on footwear and clothing.
• November 30 — Cyber Monday, wrapping up the major wave of discounts.

Cyber Monday falls on the first Monday after Thanksgiving — in 2026, that's November 30. It's the final stage of the global sale, focused exclusively on online shopping. On this day, stores offer record-breaking discounts on tech, laptops, smartphones, audio systems, smart gadgets, computer components, and licensed software.

Based on past US sales, discounts range from 40% to 85% depending on the category:

• Clothing and jeans (Levi's, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Macy's) - up to 75-80%.
• Footwear and sneakers (Nike, New Balance, ASICS, Puma, 6pm) — up to 60–75%.
• Bags and accessories (Coach Outlet, Michael Kors, Kate Spade) — up to 65–70%.
• Electronics and smart devices (Amazon, Best Buy, Apple, eBay) — up to 50–65%.
• Kids' products, clothing, and LEGO sets (Walmart, Target) — up to 65–70%.
• Cosmetics and premium skincare (Sephora, Bath & Body Works, Ulta) — up to 40%.

Use the Prostobox "Buyout with Operators" service. You don't need a foreign bank account: find the item you want at any US store, copy the link, and add it to the buyout form in your personal account, specifying the size, color, and quantity. You can pay in rubles using any Russian bank card, via SBP, or in dollars or cryptocurrency. Prostobox operators will purchase the order using their own US bank card.

Buyout from most US stores is completely free when you use promo code BF2026 in your personal account (buyer's fee — 0%). The promo code does not apply only to a small number of rare, restricted platforms with non-standard manual checkout requirements.

In the US, prices shown on websites do not include sales tax, which is calculated at checkout based on the delivery state. In California it can reach 10.25%, and in New York up to 8.875%. The state of Delaware is fully exempt from consumer sales tax. By ordering to the Prostobox warehouse in Delaware, you pay the store's clean price: on a cart of $500–1000, the savings on state tax alone range from $45 to $100.

The average Prostobox air shipping time is 5 to 10 days from the moment a consolidated parcel is physically dispatched from the Delaware warehouse to its arrival at a pickup point or parcel locker in Russia.

To get your holiday gifts in time and reduce the risk of delays at customs and in sorting hubs during the peak pre-New Year season, place your buyout order and send your parcel from the warehouse early, ideally before the beginning of December 2026.

Prostobox shipping starts from as little as $3.99 for lightweight parcels (from 100 g). Popular Black Friday categories benefit from fixed special rates on the FastBox and Super Fast routes — for example, shipping a pair of shoes or jeans weighing up to 2 kg costs just $19.99. The exact cost is calculated automatically in the on-site calculator with no hidden fees.

Consolidation means combining multiple purchases from different US stores (for example, from Amazon, Nike, and Levi's) into one sturdy box. In international air logistics, the first kilogram is priced higher than subsequent ones. Shipping one consolidated parcel weighing 3–4 kg is 30–40% cheaper than sending several separate boxes. On top of that, the warehouse removes excess retail packaging, further reducing the weight.

Every incoming parcel is stored free of charge at our Delaware warehouse for up to 45 calendar days. That's enough time to wait for discounted orders from different online stores and combine them into one consolidated box.

Yes. If you have a foreign bank card or a PayPal account, you can purchase items directly. Sign up with Prostobox, get a personal warehouse address in Delaware with your unique Suite number, enter it in the Shipping Address field at the US store, and complete your purchase.

The duty-free limit for individuals is 200 euros and 31 kg per international parcel. The limit applies separately to each parcel.

Duty is charged only on the amount exceeding the limit, at a rate of 15% (but no less than 2 euros per kilogram over the 31 kg threshold). If the value of goods is 260 euros, duty is charged on 60 euros and will amount to 9 euros (plus a fixed customs operator fee). Payment is made online in a couple of clicks via a link from the official customs broker during declaration. If your items can be split, we recommend shipping them in separate parcels to avoid paying duty.

Prostobox features a smart AI assistant: you don't need to manually look up complex product classification codes. Simply upload a screenshot of your invoice or a link to the product, and the system will automatically fill in the name, specifications, and price for the customs registry.

The following are prohibited for air transport: explosive substances, all aerosols and pressurized canisters, alcohol-based perfumery (perfumes, eau de toilette), perishable food items, weapons and their components, collimator and optical sights, dual-use or military-grade goods, and external battery packs (power banks) shipped separately from devices.

Yes, electronics (iPhone, iPad, MacBook, watches, AirPods wireless earbuds, Kindle e-readers) are permitted for delivery in compliance with current export control regulations and customs limits. Devices with built-in batteries are transported in accordance with IATA regulations.

Insurance costs $3 to $5 and covers the declared value of your items in case your parcel is lost during international delivery.

Thanks to automated tracking and high-speed scanners, a parcel is registered at the warehouse within seconds of being physically handed over by the courier driver (UPS, FedEx, USPS). You immediately receive a notification in your personal account.

The most popular men's and women's shoe sizes (US 8.5–10.5) and standard clothing sizes (M, L) sell out within the first 15–30 minutes on sale days. We recommend building your cart in advance, saving links, and placing a Buyout order with Prostobox 1–2 days before the sale starts, so our operators can purchase the item in the very first minutes of the sale.

The biggest discounts (up to 60–75%) come from official mono-brand outlets: Joe's New Balance Outlet, Nike Clearance Store, Puma US, ASICS, as well as multi-brand stock stores 6pm and Finish Line. US outlets carry rare width fittings: standard (D), wide (Wide / 2E), and extra wide (Extra Wide / 4E).

The best offers traditionally come from official stores such as Levi's US, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, American Eagle, Gap, as well as the Macy's department store. For example, Levi's 501 Original or 511 jeans cost from $30-40 on Black Friday, while outside the US the same models cost 3-4 times more.

To check whether discounts on Amazon and major US marketplaces are real, use price history trackers (for example, the Keepa or CamelCamelCamel extensions). They clearly show a price chart for the last 3-6 months and help you understand whether the price has really dropped. But that's hardly necessary, because on Black Friday the discounts are completely genuine and very big!

Early Black Friday is a pre-sale discount period running from November 1 to 25. During this time, retailers put out seasonal collections of warm clothing, footwear, and home goods without the rush or size shortages. If an item is rare, it's safer to buy it during Early Deals rather than risk it selling out completely by November 27.

Some brands block direct orders to mail forwarder addresses when paid with foreign non-resident cards. Prostobox's Buyout service solves this: orders are purchased by our US-based staff using local accounts and resident payment profiles, reducing the risk of store cancellation to virtually zero.

Prostobox is a direct delivery service, not a reseller. You order items directly from certified US stores (the official Nike.com, Amazon, Apple, Levi.com, Sephora), which minimizes the risk of receiving replicas, copies and counterfeits.

Yes, when arranging your shipment from the warehouse, you can select the option to remove the outer factory or store shoe box. This reduces the physical and volumetric weight of the parcel, lowering your total shipping cost.

You can consolidate items received in your personal Prostobox account into one parcel. The recipient of the parcel in Russia can be any person whose passport details and TIN are correctly entered in the account for customs clearance.

As soon as the parcel leaves the warehouse, it is assigned a tracking number. The entire journey — the flight through transit hubs, customs clearance, and handover to a courier service or parcel locker in Russia — is displayed in real time in your Prostobox account.

You can order an item inspection service and a special request for photos of the contents right after your parcel arrives at the warehouse in Delaware. If the size or color doesn't match your order, warehouse operators will help you quickly arrange a return to the seller's US store using the internal Return Label.

Prostobox customer support operates with a combination of AI and a dedicated team of specialists. Most routine questions and status checks are handled instantly, and all logistics information by tracking number or storage cell is already prepared before you connect with an agent.

All the hottest picks, surprise drops with discounts up to 85%, exclusive brand promo codes, and links to secret sales are published in real time on the official Prostobox Telegram channel (@prostoboxme). We recommend subscribing in advance and turning on notifications before the November sales kick off.
