AirPods, Nintendo Switch Score in Record Amazon Holiday Weekend

Apple AirPods and the Nintendo Switch were top-selling electronics at Amazon, in addition to Amazon’s own highly discounted devices, over the Thanksgiving shopping weekend, the e-commerce company said Wednesday. It was the company’s biggest Thanksgiving shopping weekend ever, it said, without disclosing sales figures. Small businesses generated more than $1 billion in sales via Amazon, it said. Best-selling categories were home, fashion, toys, beauty and Amazon devices, it said. In an expanded holiday sales season, which began with Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale in October, it extended its standard returns window temporarily until Jan. 31 for most items bought Oct. 11-Dec. 25 in the U.S. The extension applies to products shipped by or fulfilled by Amazon, it said.
