Should I Purchase Now or Wait?

What if you see something you want on sale now? Should you buy it before Prime Day? That’s tough to answer. Amazon will not price match if the price drops after you buy it. However, they will take returns. You can buy the item now, then if the price drops at Prime Day buy it at the new price and return the original one. Keep in mind, though, that you’re on the hook for return shipping. This strategy might work for a small item, but the cost of shipping a large item might be more than the savings from the price drop.

I’m not an Amazon Prime Member. Can I still get these Deals?

Prime Day is Amazon’s “thank you” to their members. If you’re not currently a member, you can get a FREE TRIAL and either keep it if you find it useful, or cancel it by the end of the free month.

If you have already had a free trial membership within the past year, you can get a 1-month membership. Your savings could more than pay for the cost of the membership. Just remember to cancel it, because 12 months of monthly membership costs more than a 1-year membership. You get a discount for committing for the year.

Remember, if you’re a student, you get 6-months of free Prime membership. That’ll take you from Prime Day, to back-to-school-shopping, textbook trade-in, and right through the Christmas gift giving season. Amazon is advertising Prime Day savings of up to 30% on items in the Off to College category.

Be the First to get New Products

Amazon is releasing dozens of new products during the Prime Day event! Items range from clothing to toys, electronics to home and kitchen gadgets. These will be available exclusively for Prime members.
