FAQ
How is Cyber Monday different from Black Friday, and which is cheaper?
Both are US-origin global shopping events, back-to-back but with different focus. Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving) is known for in-store rushes and all-category markdowns (online now too). Cyber Monday is the following Monday, originally for online shopping, so electronics, software and online-exclusive items often discount deepest. Which is cheaper depends on category and retailer: big appliances/traditional retail may be deeper on Black Friday; electronics/software/online goods may bottom only on Cyber Monday. Some run a whole 'shopping week'. Compare both days' final prices with this tool rather than assuming one is always cheapest.
Beyond the discount, what hidden costs should I watch online?
The 'final price' is rarely the full cost, especially cross-border: (1) shipping — discounts may apply only to the item, shipping extra, or 'free over a threshold' nudges over-buying; (2) duties/taxes — imported parcels may incur customs charges that erase the discount; (3) FX/card fees — foreign-currency settlement may add conversion fees or worse rates; (4) return costs — cross-border returns are often costly/troublesome, lowering your margin for error. Add 'final + shipping + possible duties + FX' before judging true value.
How to tell a real Cyber Monday deal from fake hype?
Track historical prices (note the item's usual price beforehand, or use price-tracking tools to see the historical low); cross-platform compare (one store's 'limited offer' may not be); check the 'original price' basis (list vs actual usual price — the former is often inflated); beware urgency tactics (countdowns, 'only X left') that spur impulse buys. Compute the real final price with this tool, then compare with history and across platforms.
How do discount percentages map to 'folds' (e.g. 20%-off)?
HK consumers use 'folds' (e.g. 20%-off = 80%); overseas stores use '% off'. Rule: amount paid = 100% - discount%; convert to folds. '20% off' = pay 80% = 20%-off; '35% off' = pay 65% = 35%-off; '50% off' = half price = half-price. Two pitfalls: '50% off' is not free/buy-one-get-one; and 'buy one get one free' is a 50% discount (pay one, get two), not 100%. Enter '% off' directly; no mental conversion needed.
What suits Cyber Monday, and how should HK shoppers plan?
Cyber Monday leans online/digital: electronics (laptops, phones, earbuds, smart home), software/cloud/storage/streaming annual subs (often year-low), game downloads, and online-only brands (deeper discounts, no store overhead). Plan in three steps: (1) list what you truly need/replace and note usual prices as baseline; (2) on the day, compute each final price with this tool and compare to usual; buy only genuinely cheaper-needed items; (3) for cross-border, add shipping, FX fees and possible duties to total cost. Remember, subscription discounts are only worthwhile if you'll use them.
