Amazon.com Inc. said the five-day stretch from Thanksgiving to
Cyber Monday proved to be its biggest holiday shopping weekend
ever, with customers buying a record number of products.
The online shopping giant didn't provide specific metrics for
the record performance and said it is currently unable to determine
the impact that the shopping period will have on its operations in
the holiday season and fourth quarter.
Apple AirPods and Amazon's Echo Dot and Fire TV Stick devices
were among top-selling products, which were dominated by the home,
fashion, toys and beauty categories with the most sales over the
Thanksgiving weekend, the company said.
Other best-selling items during the holiday period included
Hasbro Inc.'s Connect Four board game, Christmas gifts sold by the
natural personal products brand Burt's Bees, Champion and New
Balance apparel, and the Nintendo Switch, the company said.
