When do Boxing Day and Boxing Week sales run?
Boxing Day is December 26. Best Buy Canada’s event page says it launched offers before that date in previous years. That history does not confirm the start or end of an individual 2026 offer. Read its dates and time zone rather than assuming every sale runs from Christmas Day into January.
Is Boxing Day cheaper than Black Friday?
Compare the same model, size, accessories and condition with your earlier saved price. Keep new, open-box and refurbished items separate in the comparison. Decide whether the price fits your budget and the item fits your needs; do not wait for a predicted day-five markdown.
If the sale price depends on a code, membership or bundle, check whether you qualify and want everything included. Compare the checkout total before deciding.
Can you return a Boxing Day purchase?
Read the seller’s policy for the exact item before paying. Government of Canada guidance warns that return conditions can exclude sale items and that holiday return arrangements can change. Ask for the policy in writing if it is unclear.
Check the return deadline, item condition required, refund method and return shipping charge. For a gift, keep the gift receipt and ask what the recipient can receive: a refund, an exchange or store credit. Check whether the store accepts returns on the day you plan to visit.
Will a price match cover Boxing Day?
Best Buy Canada’s Low Price Guarantee lists Boxing Day/Week among excluded special sale prices. Do not count on a competitor’s event price qualifying. If you already bought the item, ask the retailer about your specific price-adjustment request with the receipt and offer ready. Policy checked October 27, 2026.
Before visiting a store
Check the exact branch’s December 26 opening hours and pickup instructions directly with the retailer. Plan a return and a new purchase separately: confirm that the branch can handle both before travelling.
Sources and policy checks
The linked retailer event page and CRA calendar confirm the December 26 date. The return guidance and Low Price Guarantee support the policy checks above. Sources checked October 27, 2026; recheck terms before buying.
