Prime Day: the best offers and current offers on the ticker

Status: 9:22 am | Reading time: 7 minutes

48 Hours to Buy on Special Conditions: Amazon, the online mail-order company, is attracting Prime Service members on October 13-14. As in the previous year, thousands of products from all Amazon product groups should be available at significantly lower prices, but only while supplies last. With particularly popular products, you need to make quick purchasing decisions.

With so many offers, it’s easy to lose track. We present offers that we think are worthwhile, because they are at least 20 percent or 50 euros cheaper than the manufacturer’s recommended price. And we’re taking it closely: is an item a bargain right now that you need to grab fast to save?

Or is the offer often reduced so that you can take your time with the decision? In addition, we only recommend items that performed well in a test from us or one of our partners or that were predominantly rated positive by customers.

Small Business Products

With a new category, Amazon has long been targeting products that have been made by large companies. Here’s the general description * of small manufacturers’ products with particularly good ratings. Since they are only available in small quantities, it is worth taking a quick look at the offers.

Games, PC and accessories

Amazon devices

Home and kitchen

dress

Smartphones, tablets and accessories

Toys

• Playmobil toys *: quality toys with the traditional brand Up to 60% Estate.
• Drones * – High-tech fun for young and old – select models reduced by 30% on Prime Day.

Of the deals on Prime Day, only Prime members, including those with Prime Student Membership, benefit. All other customers buy the products at the usual price. However, it is possible to try the subscription from the online mail order company for 30 days at no charge *. This way, users can spontaneously enjoy some bargains. However, you have to weigh whether the Prime subscription for 69 euros per year or 7.99 euros per month is also worth it for you in the long run. In addition to free premium shipping for many items, it also offers a wide range of streaming content; If you don’t rate it, the subscription can be canceled during the trial phase. Prime Day is definitely a good deal for Amazon, because the campaign not only increases sales, but also helps the company skyrocket the number of subscriptions obtained.

Amazon Prime Day: This time too, customers need to be quick

Prime Day highlights also include select discounted items from well-known brands. The following motto applies to all offers on Amazon Prime Day: only while supplies last and for a maximum of time as indicated in the respective offer. You can find the “Prime Day” offers at amazon.de/primeday and on the Amazon home page. In the “Amazon Prime Day” overview, many Amazon products are expected to be featured again, but also a number of branded items.

Tip for Prime Day 2020: Don’t buy blind!

You can save money on many of the products that Amazon offers on Prime Day. However, one should not be blinded by a supposedly low price and still compare prices, even if Amazon raises the pressure due to low or limited availability. With many products, of course, it pays to be quick – many particularly good deals can sell out quickly. So our recommendation is: check the Amazon offers with your new or existing Prime membership a few days in advance and see if on the manufacturer’s websites and on price comparison sites like Idealo.de (like WELT, belongs to Axel Springer SE) can really save something. When checking the technology, you should also pay attention to whether the Amazon offers are new products or refurbished devices or if the models offered are perhaps older. Anyone looking for the best current devices and models shouldn’t be blinded by particularly low prices.

Here’s how you can find a bargain on Prime Day

You should also be attentive to the evolution of the prices of other providers; they too know the interest in Prime Day, so they can pull off one or the other bargain themselves which may differ significantly from the recommended retail price. And Amazon itself can also offer the preferred product at affordable prices. A rush purchase may not be necessary on Prime Day.

Ultimately, of course, the deciding factor on Prime Day is: Which of the attractive offers do you really need? But if you’re already looking for a new smartphone, tablet, TV, or headphones, you can definitely get a bargain as an Amazon Prime customer. If you’ve made a bad purchase in the middle of a bargain frenzy, make use of your right of return: all products ordered from October 1, 2020 can still be exchanged until January 31, 2021.

* If you complete a purchase using the links marked with an asterisk, WELT will receive a small commission. You can find our standards for transparency and journalistic independence at axelspringer.de/unabhaengigkeit.
