Walmart Cyber Monday deals start next Sunday

The earlier start time is meant to cater to these shoppers.

We can tell you that the precise 2015 Walmart Cyber Monday start time is 8PM ET on November 29, or 5PM PT. However, Cyber Week actually begins the day before on the Saturday, November 28, although the deals are expected to be far better on the Sunday. “By starting “Cyber Monday” hours earlier on Sunday evening and quadrupling the number of Cyber Monday specials, we’re making it easier for customers to get ahead of the busiest online shopping day of the year and save on the best gifts”.

As if starting Black Friday on Thanksgiving evening wasn’t enough to demonstrate Walmart’s flagrant disregard for the meaning of words that end in “day”, the mammoth retailer has now announced that it is choosing to ignore the temporal boundaries of yet another beloved American institution. And so it has become more convenient to, say, shop from grandma’s living room on Thanksgiving Day or from the airport waiting area on Black Friday than waiting for Cyber Monday to roll around.

Online shoppers will be able to ship order to a store for free pickup, but shipping to a customer’s home requires orders to be a minimum of $50. Walmart.com has increased its assortment of these searched items and will offer triple the number of Star Wars toys, three times as many 4K TVs, 15 times more drones, and 350% more 3D printers and accessories compared to previous year. The biggest advantage customers have while shopping is that they can now make use of their smartphones to do online shopping. This year, the company is expecting 75% of its online traffic to come from mobile devices, either through the company’s app or through a visit from a mobile web browser.

Madeira is confident the site is ready for the impending storm.
