What time did Prime Day start? When does it end?
Amazon Prime Day 2018 starts today, Monday, July 16 at noon in the US and lasts until midnight on Tuesday 17th, we exclusively discovered ahead of time. These start time and end times for Prime Day are in Pacific Time, since Amazon’s headquarters is in Seattle.
We always figured it would be in July, but plot twist: with the July 16 date, Amazon Prime Day 2018 starts one week later than Amazon’s previous Prime Day outings. But means you’ll have slightly more time to save up your hard-earned dollars for it.
How to get the best Amazon Prime day deals in the US:
1. TechRadar is your ultimate Prime Day guide
Point yourself to TechRadar for the best Amazon Prime Day prices because we have a 20-strong team of deal hunters tracking down the top bargains.
We’ve become experts on every major sale holiday, including the ongoing 4th of July sales that are happening right now. We can spot the difference between genuine bargains and prices that are jacked up just to pretend the products are cheaper.
Do bookmark us, or take a screenshot to remember, or whatever you do nowadays to make sure you’re ready for the ultimate Prime Day deals list.
2. Get Amazon Prime membership beforehand
You’re not going to get very far with nabbing the best Prime Day deals – even with our help – if you don’t have a Amazon Prime membership ahead of time.
The good news is that signing up doesn’t take long. But you also don’t want to wait until the last minute, because lightning deals often go fast. If Nintendo Switch is on sale for the first time, expect it to sell out in seconds.
Pro tip? You can sign up for a free 30-day trial today. And that membership will last you until the top of August, well clear of the Prime Day sales period. You’ll also get the other perks of the subscription, including two-day free shipping and Prime Video streaming. Here’s our in-depth analysis of the benefits Amazon Prime offers.
3. See the price history in an instant
4. Is it within your budget?
This is something you’ll never hear from a deals site: you don’t have to buy an item just because of the hype of Prime Day. There’s a lot of tempting offers, but if it’s outside your budget, even when on discount, it doesn’t mean it’s the right deal for you.
There are still several shopping holidays (invented by marketers and real) in the 2018 calendar year that you’re going to want to wait until you see the best price for you at the best possible time. After all, you’re going to have spent a lot of money on BBQ and seeing fireworks during the 4th of July. Sometimes delicious hotdogs and hamburgers are more important than buying a new 4KTV on Prime Day.
We always have a Deals section running 24/7/365, too. We never close.
5. Who cares, buy it anyway!
Prime Day purchases should be a calculated, not rash decision. You shouldn’t buy something just because it’s on sale; you should buy it because you’ll be able to use it to better your life (a productivity tool), or simply enjoy it (entertainment content).
“Am I going to be better off if I purchase this now on Amazon Prime Day today at the given discount?” is what you should ask yourself. Let’s give you a concrete example, according to our Prime Day deal experts on this. If you’re going to buy a brand new DSLR camera this year, and it’s 15% off list price, and you’re going to take photos for special occasions coming up between July and the rest of the summer, then that’s worth getting today. Don’t miss out on putting tools to work today, especially if they are cheaper and you really want to buy them.
Phones and apps are dominate in 2018, but going back to an old-school computer to visit Amazon.com (and us first) is the best way to save strategically. It’s the most reliable way to canvas the official website and weave in and out of pages to find the best Prime Day deals.
You also have to keep in mind that there’s going to be a huge surge on traffic to the website and app, so we recommend browsing the deals on a laptop or PC. It’s been more stable for us in years past.
7. Late Amazon Prime Day deliveries offer savings
There’s a huge rush for Amazon Prime Day goods across the country, so much so that the hours after July 16 and July 17 are going to be difficult on UPS drivers across America. We’re ordering so much, and the promise of two-day free shipping is likely to be a part of most everything we buy.
Deliveries don’t alway show up on time – or at all. That’s difficult during Christmas when it ruins the big day, but you still deserve to get your items quickly right after Prime Day. Here’s a tip: if it doesn’t arrive on the promised date, complain to the customer service on Amazon.com. They’ll usually add an extra month to your Prime membership, or sometimes refund the item in full if it’s a bad enough slip up.
8. Check Amazon rivals: Walmart, Best Buy, Target, etc
Obviously, Amazon has the best and only Prime Day deals, but plenty of other retailers discount items in droves in July to attract online shoppers. They figure, well, you’re online, so maybe you’ll be swayed by their pricing.
That’s why our tech reviews are always updated with the best price through a widget. You can see which retailer is giving you the best value for your dollar. Also, keep in mind, you won’t need to be a member of retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Target and Khol’s in order save on electronics and other goodies from them.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is the retailer’s big members-only summer sale and it’s been a massive success in the few short years it’s been going. If you want to get involved with the best discounts though, you’ll need to be a member of Amazon Prime. With free next-day delivery on thousands of items and the excellent Amazon Instant Video streaming service being just two of the membership’s key highlights, millions of you are already signed up.
Brilliantly though, you can always sign up for a free 30-day trial to take advantage of the sale and other membership benefits. And if you don’t want to continue the service after Prime Day, just cancel the trial before the 30 days are up. Amazon know too well that many shoppers will find it hard to say goodbye to those super perks though.
Amazon Prime 30-day trial
Prime gets you free superfast delivery, exclusive deals, video and music streaming and lots more. There’s a no-commitment 30-day free trial too, which you can get by signing up to Prime here:
More people signed up for Prime on Prime Day last year than on any other day in Amazon’s history. As of April 2018, Amazon confirmed it had passed 100 million subscribers for Amazon Prime, that’s up from around 80 million before Prime Day last year and 58 million in 2016. That’s some pretty incredible year-on-year growth for the last few years. We wouldn’t be surprised to see Amazon Prime’s 2018 numbers grow dramatically again by the time Prime Day arrives.
Amazon also reported that sales via the Amazon app more than doubled year-on-year and “tens of millions of people” used the app to buy items last Prime Day.
So is Amazon Prime Day just another Black Friday? Actually, no. As Amazon puts it, Black Friday is largely about gifts for other people (it’s ok, we had a laugh at that too) – it takes place just at the start of the Christmas shopping season – but Prime Day is all about treating yourself.
The overwhelming majority of decent deals on Prime Day were on things you might buy for yourself or for your home. As you’ll see from the best sellers there were lots of smart home devices sold to Prime customers as well as quite a lot of kitchen gear. There were good deals on laptops and consoles too of course, but they were alongside deals on hammocks, juicers, robot vacuum cleaners and pressure cookers.
Prime Day: do Amazon’s rivals respond?
They did. It was Free Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven and Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A, which offered free food to anybody in an animal costume. Meanwhile eBay threw some shade, with a front page claiming that “Their Prime Deal Is Our Everyday Deal”.
According to research firm Bazaarvoice, 76% of US Prime Day shoppers visited rival retailers to check whether they were getting the best deals. And as PwC Consumer Markets analyst Steve Barr told CNBC, “We are seeing other big box retailers use Prime Day as an opportunity to capture shoppers’ appetite for deals and as way to compete against Amazon for share of wallet and mindset.”
So we won’t just be calling out the best Prime Day deals at Amazon, we’ll keep an eye on all your favorite retailers to see what bargains they have. At the very least we expect some sneaky price matching from many stores like Walmart, Newegg and Jet in the US.
