How much does Virgin's shipping cost?
Virgin's shipping costs vary depending on the service and the product you select.
Some Virgin services offer free shipping, while others have standard delivery charges.
Head to the Virgin Media website to find out more.
Does Virgin offer any other discounts?
If you're looking to save big ahead of Black Friday, it's worth checking out the retailer's offers page.
There you'll find a selection of deals for new and existing customers.
Has Virgin Media merged with O2?
In June 2021, Virgin Media and O2 joined forces to create one of the UK's largest telecoms providers.
In January 2023, Virgin Media announced that its customers would be moving to O2 phone plans by the end of the year.
The merger means you can find the fastest, widely available broadband in the same place as O2's great mobile services.
If you're already a Virgin Media customer, you'll stay contracted to the company, but O2 will now provide your services.
So, you can enjoy reliable WiFi and broadband speed boosts from Virgin Media and special perks via Priority with O2.
If you're new to both O2 and Virgin Media, it's well worth having a look at their combined Volt contracts.
Can I get Virgin Media?
Black Friday is the best time of year to switch to Virgin Media, thanks to the big discounts that come with the mega sale.
However, whether or not you can get Virgin Media's broadband depends on the area and type of building you live in.
Unfortunately, it's not suitable for all households just yet - but there is an easy way to find out.
If you visit the Virgin Media broadband page, you can enter your postcode to check if the service is available in your area.
Virgin Media will also advise you on the broadband speed you could expect to receive at your address.
You can then browse the various deals on offer, including brilliant bundle bargains.
That includes combining Virgin Media broadband with phone and/or TV deals, like the Mega Volt bundles.
Does Virgin Experience Days do Black Friday?
Yes, Virgin Experience Days offers Black Friday deals.
The company provides you, or a loved one, with the chance to try something incredible; whether it's driving a sports car, snorkelling, or enjoying the view from the Shard.
In previous years, shoppers were treated to impressive savings on spa breaks, including a deluxe one-night stay at a local Crowne Plaza.
Bargain hunters have also enjoyed discounts on afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason and deals on a Thames lunch cruise; there's a day out for everyone.
There's already a Black Friday page that you can bookmark, and we're once again hoping to spot several discounts on days out.
Don't forget to check back on Cyber Monday too - Virgin Experience Day discounts typically continue through the weekend.
Does Virgin Atlantic have a Black Friday sale?
Virgin Atlantic is the company's premier airline, flying customers around the world.
You can travel to Europe, North America, the Caribbean, and more.
However, we all know that airline tickets can be expensive, especially if you're travelling to a far-flung destination, so any kind of discount is hugely welcome.
Luckily for jet-setters, we're expecting Black Friday deals from Virgin Atlantic in 2025.
In the past, the company has offered several incredible deals, with up to £200 off flights to the Caribbean.

King to highlight vital bond with France over threats that ‘know no borders'
Charles and the Queen are set to welcome the French leader and his wife Brigitte to Windsor Castle on Tuesday as Mr Macron begins his three-day state visit to the UK. At a glittering banquet in the historic Berkshire landmark in the evening, the monarch will deliver a speech, highlighting how 'these challenges know no borders: no fortress can protect us against them this time'. The King will deliver a speech at the state banquet in honour of French president Emmanuel Macron (Chris Jackson/PA) But he will tell Mr Macron that Britain and France can help lead the way in confronting threats relating to defence, technology and climate change, saying: 'Our two nations share not only values, but also the tireless determination to act on them in the world.' Charles and Camilla are hosting Mr Macron and the first lady at the historic royal residence. They will be feted with a carriage ride through the town, a ceremonial welcome and the opulent state dinner. Brigitte Macron and the Queen join in with a toast alongside the King and French President Emmanuel Macron at a Palace of Versailles banquet in 2023 (Daniel Leal/PA) The King, in his toast, will reflect on 1,000 years of 'shared history and culture between our two peoples', including many of the royal family's personal connections to France. 'For centuries our citizens have admired each other, amused each other, and imitated each other', he will say, and reveal how he remains 'in awe of France's extraordinary attributes and achievements'. Charles will also hail the Anglo-French partnership as vital amid the many challenges of today, saying: 'Our two countries face a multitude of complex threats, emanating from multiple directions. 'As friends and as allies, we face them together.' The King delivering a speech at the State Banquet at the Palace of Versailles, Paris in 2023 (Daniel Leal/PA) It marks the first state visit to the UK by an EU head of state since Brexit, and will see Mr Macron address parliamentarians in the Palace of Westminster's Royal Gallery and, on Thursday, join a UK-France Summit at Downing Street. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has signalled a 'reset' in relations between the UK and Europe as he looks to heal the wounds caused by the Brexit years. Defence, growth, security, migration and French tactics on tackling small boats will be discussed, with the two leaders expected to dial in to speak to other allied nations who are looking to support any future peace deal in Ukraine. Downing Street said on Monday that the UK's relationship with France was 'key' to dealing with boat crossings, following reports French police officers had used knives to puncture a boat off the coast. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during a bilateral meeting with Mr Macron at the G7 summit in June (Stefan Rousseau/PA) The Prince and Princess of Wales will also play a role by meeting the president and the French first lady at RAF Northolt on Tuesday morning on behalf of the King and travelling with them to Windsor. Charles and Camilla will formerly greet their guests on a Royal Dais constructed on Datchet Road in Windsor town centre, with the castle in the backdrop as gun salutes sound in nearby Home Park. The King, the Queen, the Waleses and Mr and Mrs Macron will then take a carriage procession through Windsor and along part of the Long Walk which leads to the castle, just as former French president Nicolas Sarkozy did in 2008. Mr Macron's state visit to the UK, from July 8-10, is the first to be hosted at Windsor Castle, rather than Buckingham Palace, in a more than a decade since that of the Irish president Michael D Higgins in 2014. Guests listen during a speech by Queen Elizabeth II in honour of the President of Ireland Michael D Higgins at Windsor Castle in 2014 (Dan Kitwood/PA) State visits, which capitalise on the royals' soft power to strengthen diplomatic ties overseas, will be hosted at Windsor for the next few years while reservicing work continues at the London Palace and starts to affect the state rooms. The last state visit to the UK from France was in March 2008 when the now-disgraced Mr Sarkozy, since convicted of corruption and influence peddling, and his wife Carla Bruni, were the guests of Elizabeth II at Windsor. The arrangements are likely to form the template for US President Donald Trump's high-profile state visit in September, but much will depend on security considerations for the US leader, who survived an assassination attempt last year. A ceremonial welcome will be staged in the castle's quadrangle with Camilla, William, Kate and Mrs Macron watching as the King and Mr Macron inspect the Guard of Honour. The Prince and Princess of Wales will also take part in the state visit (Yui Mok/PA) Lunch will be hosted in the State Dining Room, after which the president and his wife, the King and Queen and members of the royal family will view a special exhibition of items relating to France from the Royal Collection in the Green Drawing and Mrs Macron will also travel to London on Tuesday afternoon to see the Grave of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey and visit the Palace of Westminster where the French leader will address parliamentarians before meeting opposition leaders at Lancaster House. The King and president will both deliver speeches at the banquet in the medieval St George's Hall, where some 160 guests will be seated at the elaborately decorated 50 metre table, which will run the full length of the vast room. A state visit is being hosted at Windsor Castle for the first time in 11 years (Steve Parsons/PA) Kensington Palace has yet to confirm whether Kate will attend the banquet. The princess opened up about her 'rollercoaster' cancer recovery, its life-changing impact and putting on a 'brave face' last week. The King and Queen paid a state visit to France in September 2023 and enjoy a warm rapport with Mr and Mrs Macron, who will stay in the castle during their trip. Mrs Macron, 72, sparked a storm in May when she was seen pushing her husband's face away with both hands before they disembarked a plane in Vietnam. Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte (Gareth Fuller/PA) The 47-year-old president dismissed the gesture – caught on camera – as horseplay, but it caused a stir in France, with daily Le Parisien newspaper asking: 'Slap or 'squabble'?' The couple, married since 2007, met at the high school where Mr Macron was a student and Brigitte was a married teacher. The visit comes a year after the UK and France celebrated 120 years since the signing of the Entente Cordiale. The Anglo-French agreements in 1904 ushered in improved relations between the two countries which had fought against each other during the Napoleonic Wars.

Apple Watch series 10 reduced to its lowest-ever price in Amazon Prime Day sale
At long last, Amazon Prime Day 2025 has arrived, and the online giant is busy slashing prices on everything from tech to beauty, including all of Apple's gear. But while there are hefty discounts on AirPods and iPads, it's this deal on the Apple Watch series 10 that's caught my eye. Launched last September, Apple's flagship smartwatch has been slashed by an enormous £104 for Prime Day. I've been tracking the price of the Apple Watch series 10 since it launched, and this is the wearable's first-ever price cut, taking it down to almost £300 for the first time. The sale is exclusive to Prime members and, unlike previous years, it's lasting four days instead of two, so you've got plenty of time to shop. So far, I've spotted big savings on laptops, TVs, air fryers, vacuums and more, but if it's the Apple Watch deal you're here for, here's what you need to know. Apple's latest and greatest Apple Watch series 10 smartwatch is the company's best yet. Boasting an all-new design with a larger display, new health features, sleep apnoea detection and faster charging, it's been slashed to just £325 for Amazon Prime Day. Almost as large as the display on the Apple Watch Ultra, you can see and do more than on any Apple Watch that has come before it. 'While at first glance it looks similar to the series 9, the bigger display, thinner profile and handsome new colours make the Series 10 a lot more appealing,' tech critic David Phelan said in his review. 'The features that have defined the Apple Watch, from subtle notifications, brilliant mapping capabilities on your wrist and above all, great health features, are all at their best here,' he added.
