Our biggest Thanksgiving holiday shopping event ever

Announcement reposted from Amazon Europe:

Our Black Friday Week and Cyber Monday holiday shopping event from November 21 through December 2, was the biggest ever compared to the same 12-day period ending on Cyber Monday in prior years, with record sales and a record number of items sold.

It was also the largest event ever for independent sellers, most of which are small and medium-sized businesses. More than 60 percent of sales in Amazon’s store during the event were from independent sellers.

“We know how much our customers appreciate saving money, and our customers saved billions with us during this year’s holiday shopping event,” said Doug Herrington, CEO, Worldwide Amazon Stores. “I want to thank our employees, vendors, and selling partners for delivering an outstanding experience, time after time.”
