Historically, Amazon Prime Day takes place in the middle of July with the dates generally hovering around the 15th or 16th but occasionally occurring as early as July 11. Amazon Prime Day 2020 will take place over the course of two days beginning at 12:01am PDT on July 13 and culminating 48 hours later.
Prime Day duration has varied over its five year existence. Originally, it was a simple 24-hour affair. It was expanded to 30 hours in 2017, 36 hours in 2018, and now will be a full 48-hour retail extravaganza.
Amazon Prime Deals are massive discounts on tens of thousands of sought-after products sold under the Amazon Prime umbrella from thousands of retailers worldwide. They range from promotions of TVs, books, home goods, services, baby supplies, and countless more. Prime members can take advantage of these deals along with the free two-day shipping that comes along with a Prime membership.
Prime Day was originally designed as a thank you to Amazon Prime customers in celebration of its 20th anniversary. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the need to have an Amazon Prime account to take advantage of the amazing deals. However, those without a Prime account can sign up for a 30-day free trial prior to Prime Day, take advantage of the sales, and cancel before the trial period has ended. Surely, Amazon is aware of the loophole but when you’re attracting so many new customers, it’s unlikely they are hurting too badly for it.
Given that Amazon is one of the largest and most varied retailers on the globe, they have a lot products available at deep discounts during Prime Day. They range from deals on high-end electronics like TVs, computers, audio-gear, to pet, baby, and home goods. And of course, they offer serious discounts on their own products like the Kindle e-readers, Echo smart home devices, Fire streaming devices, and any number of other Amazon products such as their Essentials collections of home needs. Needless to say if you can’t find it deeply discounted on Prime Day, you probably didn’t need it anyway.
They’ve already begun. There are thousands of pre-announced Prime Day deals to whet the whistle of even the most discerning bargain shopper and more are announced every day. However, the floodgates will open on July 15 at 12:01 am PDT with deals on tens of thousands of products with even more expected as the Prime Day(s) goes on.
Prime Day is all about the deals and every year it doesn’t disappoint. The retailer offers a range of price discounts from 10% to as much as 50% depending on the item. Often, deals come with other perks such as Amazon gift cards, bulk deals, and discounts for creating recurring purchases (perfect for pet foods). It is hard to say exactly what the deals will be until they are announced by Amazon and what products they will feature from year to year, but you can bet no matter what you’re looking for, there will be a heck of a deal on it during Prime Day to entice you to buy.
Every Prime Day has its All-Star products and 2018 was no exception. Here were some of last year’s biggest sellers!
Amazon in its infinite wisdom has several ways for you to plug in to Amazon Prime Day. The most obvious way to do it is at Amazon.com itself. But for those looking to shop on the go, do a good deed, or order something by hollering across the room, Amazon has you covered.
Yes, you absolutely need to have a Prime membership to take advantage of the deals (and the shipping, oh, they shipping). But you need not worry about that serious of a commitment. New Prime customers get a 30-day free trial so sign up now, enjoy Prime Day, and cancel once you’ve gotten all your goodies delivered.
If you aren't' an Amazon Prime member yet, Amazon Prime Day is a great time to join in the fun — and the deals. Amazon offers a 30-day trial period for free, or you can sign up for the full year and get free shipping, streaming, and other perks all year long, and of course, all the great deals on Amazon Prime Day!
Amazon Prime Day involves thousands of deals, including lightning deals, which only last for a certain amount of time, usually a few hours, or until stock runs out. Follow Amazon on Twitter to keep track of the deals yourself, or follow a site like the Wirecutter, the New York Time's tech review site, that will sift through the deals for you and tell you the ones really worth jumping on.
