The great American discount festival aka Black Friday is back. You don't necessarily need to be in the US to enjoy some of the discounts in the Black Friday sale. Black Friday is a great time to buy computer components, electronics, and other crucial accessories which otherwise sell at a crazy price tag in India. For products that do not ship directly to India, you should use an external shipping service like these.
