Corona 2020 will also have a strong impact on pre-holiday shopping, which is smart to do online today. Big delays in delivery and lack of products from online retailers are expected. These days are essentially the last days when you can count on the delivery of products this year. 2020 will also be different for pre-holiday shopping, so don't delay any longer!
This year's holiday gifts will be bought online, but we must be aware that it is an extraordinary logistical undertaking for online retailers and delivery companies, and that we must order gifts in time if we want to receive gifts in 2020.
"Lockdown" or the closure of the country forces us to make this year's pre-holiday purchases a little earlier and this time exclusively online. Given the current epidemiological situation, it is hard to believe that normal shopping in shopping centers will be possible. At least not the kind we were used to in the past. Therefore, we advise you to make all online purchases early or within the next few days. Otherwise, the gifts will not arrive by Christmas, and the space under the Christmas tree will be empty.
We've put together a list of things you absolutely need to know about this year's pre-holiday shopping!
1. Make all purchases before Black Friday 2020 and Cyber Monday 2020
This year, the shopping holiday Black Friday will fall on November 27, and Cyber Monday will be the Monday after Black Friday, i.e. November 30. Of course, you can expect discounts much earlier, but the practice is to get the most out of it on Black Friday. This year, certain products may be out of stock on that day, so it's not wise to wait until the last day to do your pre-holiday shopping. For more information visit the link below.
2. Business gifts without VAT on Amazon Business
Amazon Business is a completely normal Amazon, except that you register your company as a user on it and as long as you are liable for VAT (submitting a VAT return), you can buy business gifts on German Amazon without VAT. So you save a few extra percent in your financial flow. As a business user, in addition to other benefits, you are also entitled to volume discounts, which comes in extremely handy for business gifts, since you buy several identical products. Registration is easy and takes only a few moments. But get really great (best) product prices, no value added tax, with great volume discounts. Buy this year's business gifts from Amazon.

3. Pay attention to the delivery date at smaller online retailers - including Slovenian ones, but especially foreign ones!
Have you ever experienced a product delay? Or did you notice the inscription "in stock at the supplier" next to the product? Avoid such products this year because, despite a successful purchase, there may be delays in deliveries. Products that are not available at the retailer are a risky choice. Because of the COVID-19 situation namely, the normal supply is extremely disrupted. Certain distribution centers are closed and some products will not be available. Amazon proved to be the most reliable, always predicting the delivery date realistically or extremely pessimistically. Thus, the products almost always arrive earlier than indicated on the price, where the estimated delivery date is also always found. We definitely recommend Amazon Prime membership, where products can be cheaper (Prime lowest price guarantee) and delivered at lower shipping rates. Amazon Prime account registration.

5. Buy Digital Subscriptions - Gift Trend 2020
Since the delivery of products will be really disrupted this year, you can give your loved ones a digital subscription. Maybe to the service as it is Amazon Prime, where, in addition to more affordable shopping, it is possible to access the largest library of books and other digital content. Also one of the largest libraries of series and movies - Amazon Video. Or, for example, give away a Netflix subscription that can be shared with five other users. Digital gifts are this year's trend!
