Black Friday 2015 has turned out to be a civilised event.  Gone are the images and videos of people fighting for the best offers in stores at opening.

Instead you retailers are taking plenty of online and mobiles orders – their systems are quietly adding lots of pennies to their bank accounts.

Customers have chosen to stay at home (or in the office) and shop via the increasingly customer centric, online channels, be that on a mobile phone, a tablet of a laptop.

Black Friday 2015 has been stretched out for a few days and most retailers are continuing the sales into Cyber Monday, which follows Black Friday.

Many customers have looked around online over the last few days and are happy to order from the comfort of their homes.

I am sure we will hear about delivery issues over the next few days, but so far so good for a successful Black Friday 2015
