Don’t look for the Prime Day 2020 date be next month in the US. The deals may come in September, however.
Update: The postponed Amazon Prime Day 2020 date in September could be announced this week, as we also expect official confirmation on the ‘Amazon Summer Sale’ thought to be happening starting next week, June 22. To avoid confusion and questions, Amazon could finally tell us this year’s Prime Day will be delayed to September.
The Amazon Prime Day 2020 date will be postponed by two months, according to a reliable report that suggest this year’s big Amazon deals will launch in September. This is different from next week’s ‘Amazon Summer Sale’, which is thought to be starting on Monday, June 22, as per CNBC.
It makes sense to delay the start of Prime Day deals for several reasons. First and foremost, consumer are facing an economic downtown and won’t be in the mood for a lavish buying spree in July (when the usual Amazon Prime Day date happens). Yet, if things start to go back to normal, there will be pent up demand to buy again soon after that. Cue: September.
Likewise, many manufacturers might not be ready right now, but they’ll soon need something like Prime Day 2020 to start making money again. Many goods are sitting in warehouses while essential goods are prioritized. No one wants to wait until Black Friday 2020 to see in bulk again.
Even if the Amazon Prime Day 2020 date is truly happening in September, we have a lot of questions: on what date or dates will it happen? What Prime Day sales are expected this year? Should you buy on Prime Day or wait until Black Friday?
Let’s answer all of those pressing questions while we await for official Amazon Prime Day 2020 details from the company.
The official Amazon Prime Day date is reportedly in September, according to the Wall Street Journal, although no one knows the specific date or, more likely, dates (it’s usually two days long). Well, maybe Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos knows.
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 picked a Monday to start the deals and Prime Day usually runs through Tuesday.
If September is indeed the month and it begins on a Monday, that leaves one of four choices for the start of Prime Day 2020:
We would have initially thought it would have happened on July 13, or possibly the week before on July 6, so a two-month delay would suggest September 7 or September 14. Amazon may have to work around Apple’s iPhone 12 launch date, which is still unknown, but likely to hog the spotlight.
As soon as we catch wind of the Prime Day 2020 date, we’ll be sure to update this page so you can prepare your Amazon wish list.
That seems to be the case, although, on the record, Amazon has only stated « Prime Day 2020 has not been announced, » according to an Amazon.com retail page.
