The 2023 Black Friday has attracted nine main cross-border e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, Temu, Shein, Tiktok Shop, Wish, Walmart, AliExpress, Shopee, and MercadoLibre. Kicking off as early as the end of October, platforms like Temu, Wish, and TikTok Shop launched their major promotional campaigns.
