Amazon Prime Day 2020: is the date postponed and what deals will we see?

When will Amazon Prime Day take place? What Prime Day sales are expected in 2020? How can you get the best discounts in August (you will need to subscribe to Prime, but you may not have to pay for it with our tips below)?

We are here to help you answer these questions while the official details are still to come.

Amazon Prime Day 2020 date: will it be delayed?

The official date for Amazon Prime Day would be August, although no one knows the exact date or, more likely, the dates. Well, maybe Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos knows this.

Last year's Prime Day deals lasted 48 hours, so there were two full days of discounts, and we expect something similar in 2020. Amazon has historically chosen a Monday to start the deals and Prime Day is usually ends on Tuesday.

If August is indeed the month, that leaves one of the four (or five) choices for the start: August 3, August 10, August 17 or August 24. The fifth choice? It's August 31, which is also a Monday, but Prime Day would then extend sales until September.

We would have initially thought it would have happened on July 13, or maybe the week before July 6, but as it stands, we expect things to slide later in the month or not at all .

As soon as we hear of the date for the First Day 2020, we will be sure to update this page so that you can prepare your Amazon wish list.

Is Amazon Prime Day postponed this year?

This appears to be the case, although, on file, Amazon has only stated that “Prime Day 2020 has not been announced,” according to a retail page on Amazon.com.

The change from July to August was reported by Reuters, the official cause being the coronavirus epidemic. In some parts of the world, Amazon has limited the number of items it ships, often prioritizing essential products.

But keep in mind that not having an Amazon Prime Day date is not unusual. The company announces the date only a few weeks before kick-off, when it teases a fraction of its transaction list. So even if it was July, we still wouldn't know today.

List of Prime Day 2020 offers: what will be on sale?

The Amazon Prime Day offer list, while mysterious until the offers are put in place, often follows the same trends every year, so we can guess what to expect.

The best Prime Day 2020 will almost certainly offer significant discounts on Amazon's own technology. We're talking about Kindle deals, Echo price cuts and Fire TV discounts.

We have also seen Prime Day come forward for its incredible deals on laptops no matter what interests you. This includes inexpensive Chromebooks, Windows laptops, and a few Apple MacBooks. Now the latest MacBook Pro is on sale, expect it to go fast.

Then there are the staples of every major online shopping event: 4K TVs, DNA kits and video doorbells – expect all of these prices to be cut as well. It doesn't hurt that Amazon owns Ring, a range of video doorbells that it also offers many discounts every year.

How to buy Prime Day in 2020

1. Consult our offer forecasts and possibly our Prime Day offer list

There are also too many offers available on the First Day. It is never a problem to find discounts, it is always a question of which offers are worth your money. This is why we have always put together an organized list during the 48-hour sales marathon.

We had a great time last Black Friday thinking about smart ways to shop on Amazon – these are still great Prime Day tips and advice.

2. Amazon Prime Day has always required to be a Prime member, so make sure you have a Prime Day subscription

Amazon launched Prime Day in 2015 as a smart way to increase its number of Prime subscriptions, and this online shopping marathon – ideally in front of Black Friday – did it.

You'll need to sign up for Prime (you can get a 30-day free trial), which includes free two-day delivery and Prime Video access, among other small benefits. In some cities, Amazon has rolled out same-day and same-day free shipping for certain items.

3. Create a wish list to organize what you want, because there will be a lot of offers

You are also going to want to create a wish list in advance, which will allow you to sort what you want and how much everything costs. This will give you a head start. You will be able to see which offers have dropped in price and which have not.

4. Take the best Prime Day 2020 deals before they leave

The numbers don't lie. Statistics from Amazon Prime Day last year gave us a glimpse of what sold in large quantities almost 12 months ago. It's shocking, really.

The retailer shipped 100,000 lunch boxes, 100,000 laptops, 200,000 TVs, 300,000 headphones, 350,000 luxury cosmetics, 400,000 pet products, 650,000 household cleaning supplies and more than one million toys.

We often find the best deals to close in minutes, when Amazon launches a waiting list for those who were just behind the curve.

Best Amazon Prime Day Deals of Last Year

Amazon Prime Day 2020 will undoubtedly be different from any other as the date moves later in the year. But we believe that many of the agreements will reflect what we saw last year.

Last year, Prime members purchased products throughout the 48-hour event with more than 175 million items sold. It's more than Amazon sold Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday combined.

That's why we're reposting some of the best deals from last year's Prime Day event. This happened in mid-July, which means that some products may change (for example, if there is a sequel launched since), but the low prices should correspond to the first day of 2020.
