Newegg, a popular online shop for technology products, and the website for department store Neiman Marcus have both suffered outages today — Black Friday, of all days.
On Black Friday last year, Best Buy’s website went down.
For Neiman Marcus, this is the second big technology problem in a couple of years. In January 2014 the company disclosed a hack affecting more than one million shoppers’ credit cards.
Newegg is working to restore its website, according to the company’s tweets:
@banasrus We're working on it! Pls stay tuned! We appreciate your patience.

As for Neiman Marcus, it will be extending a sale, according to a tweet.
We're sorry for the inconvenience. Due to our site issues, we will be extending our extra 33% off sale. Stay tuned for more details!

Update at 3:53 p.m. Pacific: Both sites work for me now. But Neiman Marcus hasn’t tweeted out that the site is completely back to normal. Newegg did tweet out that the site should be working again now.
@_jrgarcia Don't give up! The site should be good to go. Try again on mobile & let us know how it goes. TY!
