The sales "day", at least for the West, is a week (maybe two?) when everything is on sale but the transactions are held as pending until the sale day.
It is very annoying because the discounts are usually 1-2% (again as a westerner, may well be different for Asia) and it means you might have to wait a week or two for the product to ship.
I have asked stores if they can bill me full price and ship immediately and they say no.
So its really a marketing con to consolidate one or two weeks worth of sales into one day and then proclaim they had such a huge salsa day.
Imagine if Amazon billed two weeks of sales right on Black Friday. The numbers would be insane.
