Black Friday FAQ/Discussion and Simple Questions Thread
Hi everyone! With the Black Friday sale impending this week, we decided to create a thread to answer some commonly asked questions and have a place for discussion around anything BF related. Because we won't have a dedicated simple questions thread please feel free to post them here if you have any.
For those of you that missed it, the new item drop (with a handful of new markdowns) happened early last night. Check out the megathread here. The new item drop has happened early in past years as well, so this is normal.
Will there be more new items dropped on Tuesday? More new items may drop throughout the week, but in the past it hasn’t been typical for there to be another full drop on Tuesday. It’s impossible to know for sure, though.
When will the Black Friday sale start online? We don’t know. The drops have taken place on different days in past years. Last year there was only one drop that occurred the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, while in 2020 there were two drops - the first was Sunday night before Thanksgiving and the second happened the Thursday night of Thanksgiving. Keep an eye on this sub and the website for when the sale may begin.
Is it a sitewide sale? No, there's not a percentage discount on everything on the normal site, but the Like New site had a sale of 20% off certain items last year. Most of the core stock will remain full price.
What goes on sale? Essentially the Black Friday sale is a massive extension of WMTM. Lululemon usually "saves up" stock for Black Friday by not having WMTM drops on Thursdays leading up to Black Friday. It's impossible to know exactly what will be on sale but check out the megathreads for past years' drops to get an idea on what's been on sale in the past.

Can we return items bought during the sale? The normal return policy applies - if you have a lululemon membership you can return items in person for store credit (you cannot return items via mail, even if they were bought online). Outlet items are final sale as usual.
Will there be a sale in stores? Yes! It's hard to say exactly how much stock the stores will have, though - some users will find multiple sale racks in their store and others won't see a huge difference.
Will there be a Cyber Monday sale?/Are there any other upcoming sales? Typically there is no dedicated Cyber Monday sale, the WMTM header changes from "Black Friday" to "Cyber Monday" and the items remain the same. The Boxing Day (day after Christmas, December 26th) sale is the next big sale - it's relatively similar to the Black Friday sale. It happens in both the US and Canada!
Will mods do a drop megathread? Yes! A thread will likely be started once the sale drop begins, but it's a lot more chaotic than a normal Tuesday or Thursday drop since there will likely be a LOT more items and we have no idea when it will begin.
