The date for Amazon Prime Day 2020 will be pushed back by three months, according to an email to third-party sellers that suggests this year's top Amazon deals will launch in October. It's different from the "Amazon Summer Sale," which is scheduled to start in July. It makes sense to delay the start of Prime Day deals for a number of reasons. First, consumers are facing a downtown economic zone and won't be in the mood for a lavish shopping spree in July (when Amazon's usual First Day date occurs). However, if things go back to normal, there will be pent-up demand to buy again soon after. Tail: October. Similarly, many manufacturers may not be ready yet, but will soon need something like Prime Day 2020 to start making money again. Many products are stored in warehouses, while essential products have priority. Nobody wants to wait until Black Friday 2020 to sell in bulk again. Even if the date for Amazon Prime Day 2020 really does take place in October, we have a lot of questions: what date or dates will this happen? What Prime Day sales are expected this year? Should you buy Prime Day or wait for Black Friday? Let's answer all these pressing questions while we wait for the company's official Amazon Prime Day 2020 details.
Date Amazon Prime Day 2020
The official date for Amazon Prime Day would be in October, according to CNBC, which saw an email to third-party sellers with the reservation date of October 5. Despite this, Amazon came out and said that no date had been announced. Last year's Prime Day deals lasted 48 hours, so there were two full days of discounts, and we're expecting something similar in 2020. Amazon has historically chosen a Monday to start deals and Prime Day usually ends on Tuesday. If October is indeed the month and it starts on a Monday (which is October 5), that leaves one of four options for the start of Prime Day 2020:- Monday 5 October of 2020
- Monday 12 October of 2020
- Monday 19 October of 2020
- Monday 26 October of 2020
Is Amazon Prime Day postponed this year?
This appears to be the case, although Amazon said in the file that "the first day of 2020 has not been announced," according to a retail page on Amazon.com. We are checking this every day and will update this section when Amazon makes an official statement. When was Amazon Prime Day postponed? Reuters reported on the transition from July to "at least August" on April 3, then the Wall Street Journal caught an exclusivity in May that indicated September was the confirmed day one date, due to the coronavirus epidemic. In some parts of the world, Amazon has limited the number of items it ships, often prioritizing essential items. But keep in mind that not having an Amazon Prime Day date is not unusual. The company only announces the date a few weeks before kickoff, when it teases a fraction of its transaction list. So even if it was before October, we still wouldn't know today. It's also possible that Amazon could launch Prime Day in different regions, depending on where they are in the reopening phase. And then there is speculation that Amazon could completely scrape Day One of 2020.Buy on Amazon Prime Day? Or wait for Black Friday?
You'll see many of the prices are lowest during Amazon Prime Day, but so will Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2020. When should you shop? The answer is very simple: Amazon Prime Day comes about three to four months before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. That's an extra 90 to 120 days to take advantage of everything you buy, which is a nice bonus. Why wait if you really want to? But if it can be contained, technology prices tend to fall further as they age. The funny thing is that because both online shopping events are such a big win for consumers, Amazon (and to a lesser extent other retail chains) has conditioned us to buy big-ticket items twice a year: Prime Day and Black Friday/Cyber Monday.Prime Day 2020 Sale List: What Will Be On Sale?
The list of Amazon Prime Day deals, while mysterious until the deals kick in, often follows the same trends every year, so we can only guess what to expect. The best Prime Day 2020 is sure to offer significant discounts on Amazon technology. We're talking Kindle deals, Echo price cuts, and Fire TV discounts. We've also seen Prime Day become known for its incredible deals on laptops, no matter what you're interested in. This includes low-cost Chromebooks, Windows laptops, and some Apple MacBooks. Now that the latest MacBook Pro is on sale, expect it to go fast. Then there are the staples of all the big online shopping events: 4K TVs, DNA kits, and video doorbells, expect all of these prices to drop, too. It doesn't hurt that Amazon has Ring, a range of video doorbells that also offers deep discounts every year.How to buy Prime Day in 2020

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 products, and more than a 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.Will Amazon's rivals try to spoil Prime Day?
Yes, almost certainly. Walmart, Best Buy, B&H Photo and other US retailers have done deals in the past on or around the first day, starting on Black Friday in July. There was less fanfare for these deals, but they still offered enticing discounts. In fact, if you venture to Walmart, Target, eBay during Amazon Prime Day 2020, you won't be alone. According to MarketWatch, searches for these top competitors were up 225% on Prime Day last year compared to previous days. If we see any good deals that match Amazon (or better yet, better), we'll be sure to include them in our list of Amazon Prime Day 2020 deals.The best Amazon Prime Day deals of the past year
Amazon Prime Day 2020 will undoubtedly be unlike any other as the date moves later in the year. But we think many of the deals will mirror what we saw last year. Last year, Prime members purchased products during the 48-hour event with more than 175 million items sold. That's more than Amazon sold on Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined. That's why we posted some of the best deals from last year's Prime Day event. This happened in mid-July, which means some products may change (for example, if a sequel has been released since then), but the low prices should be for the first day of 2020.
