The biggest annual sale for Amazon, is Prime Day, and this year, things didn’t quite go as planned for the retailer. But, Amazon Prime Day is still set to happen. It will take place October 13 and 14. About 12 weeks later than normal.
The delays for Prime Day this year were due to the global pandemic. During the summer, Amazon was running pretty hard, with everyone buying everything online. And their marketed next-day and two-day delivery for Prime members, was more like four to six days.
Amazon opted not to cancel Prime Day though, like every other major event this year. And instead decided to hold it a bit later in the year.
With Amazon Prime Day happening very soon, here’s everything you need to know before the big day.
When does Prime Day take place?
While Amazon has not officially confirmed it yet, we have seen a number of leaks and official emails from Amazon, stating that it will be October 13-14 this year. Making it a two-day event, similar to last year.
Amazon is expected to announce Prime Day dates on September 28. They will also likely announce some deals, as well as when the early Prime Day deals are set to begin. Every year, Amazon offers up early Prime Day deals for Prime members. So you don’t need to wait until October 13 to save.

What deals can we expect to see?
Amazon hasn’t announced the slate of deals for Prime Day yet, but we can expect to see deals across all categories of products sold on Amazon’s website.
We will also see some steep discounts on Amazon’s own hardware. Including Fire TV, Fire tablets, Echo smart speakers, Ring, Blink and much more. We might even see some discounts on Amazon’s newest products that it announced on September 24.
Based on the deals we’ve seen in previous years for Prime Day, we may also see some steep discounts on Instant Pots, DNA kits, smartphones, smart TVs and many more products. Instant Pots are always the big seller for Amazon on these big shopping days, so if you’ve been looking to pick one up, that might be the best time to do so.
Robot vacuum makers like Roborock, iRobot, Neato and others will also discount their products.
Amazon will offer extended trials for its services like Music Unlimited and Audible. In previous years, we’ve seen Amazon offer four months of Music Unlimited for only $0.99.

Black Friday
Should I just wait for Black Friday?
This year, with Amazon Prime Day being so close to Black Friday, many are wondering if they should just wait til Black Friday, since it’s only a little over a month after Prime Day.
Our best advice is going to be, to make a list of the products you’re looking to purchase. Whether that is for yourself, or for your holiday shopping list. Then you can check out Prime Day and see if what you’re looking for is discounted. Unfortunately, you can’t wait til Black Friday and then decide you liked the Prime Day price better and go back in time and buy it then. You’ll need to use your own judgement on what to buy on which dates.
Particularly since we don’t know the prices for Black Friday and likely won’t until after Prime Day is over.
Black Friday will have more deals at other retailers though. So if you’re not dead set on buying from Amazon, then Black Friday might be the better time to make your purchases. Though many retailers do like to compete with Amazon on Prime Day.
Do I need to be a Prime member to take advantage of these deals?
Prime Day was created as a way to drive more Prime memberships. So yes, you will need to be a Prime member to take advantage of these deals. And there is a free 30-day trial you can sign up for – or six months if you’re a student – and take advantage of Prime Day.
Sellers will also be discounting products that are not officially part of Prime Day too. So the answer is yes and no. To take advantage of all Prime Day deals, you will need to be a Prime member. But not all deals during Prime Day are limited to Prime members.
