Best Buy's website was down on Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year.
The message posted on the site read:"We're Sorry, BestBuy.com is currently unavailable. Checl back soon."
On Thanksgiving morning the website was experiencing issues at around 9 a.m. as well, CNBCreported.
Best Buy attempted to one-up retail competitors this year by opening stores at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving day, providing tickets up to two hours before the doors open. Special sales in-stores included a 50-inch Panasonic TV for only $199.99. Other deals, online and in-store, included discounted GoPros, Dell Laptops, and Samsung UHD TVs.
The company has not acknowledged the website being down on its social media accounts. NBC reached out for comment Friday morning but has not heard back.
Best Buys Black Friday slogan coined the term door busters for customers taking advantage of these deals when the stores opened, but it looks like website busters may be more appropriate.
