Next week sees Amazon Prime Day 2024, two massive days of deals (July 16 and 17), which the e-commerce giant offers year after year to customers who subscribe to its Prime service.

Prime Day began in 2015 to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the company’s founding, and in the process responded to similar days such as Singles day from Alibaba in China. Amazon usually offers the biggest discounts of the yeareven better than the classic Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday, which are celebrated in November.

The choice of the date of the celebration in July is not random. The summer holiday season is not the most favorable for e-commerce, as the average consumer tends to disconnect and the holidays affect a general drop in sales. Of course, other major retailers are replicating this strategy, and here we highlight PcDays of PcComponentes which in electronics and technology, they have nothing to envy those of Amazon.

Amazon Prime Day 2024

As with all these massive discount days, there are a number of aspects worth considering in order to make the most of them. The ones we will describe in detail are designed to specifically prepare the purchase on Amazon, but most of them are also extensive to take advantage of PcComponentes discounts. We remind you:

Sign up for Amazon Prime

Since the volume of business that moves these days is important, the next main goal is to retain customers and attract new users. That is, Amazon Prime subscription Access to Prime Day offers is mandatory. In addition to access to offers, the service offers many other benefits, such as free one-day shipping on 2 million products; choosing a collection point; free, unlimited photo storage on PrimePhoto; discounts on video game pre-orders and other benefits on Twitch; access to movies and series on PrimeVideo; for music on Prime Music or discounts on other content purchases.

An annual subscription costs €49.90 in Spain, although you can take advantage of the one-month free trial period offered by the company. PcComponentes offers are available to everyone without the need for any subscription.

Check your Amazon or PcComponentes account details

Before the Amazon Prime Day 2024 deals start, don’t forget to check your customer data. Check the expiry date of the card you are using to pay and confirm that your personal details and delivery addresses are valid and correct.

Free Amazon app

With it, Amazon Prime customers can easily access Prime Day deals anytime, anywhere and shop via mobile phone or tablet. It also allows you to receive alerts on your mobile phone for offers you are watching or waiting on and will alert you when an offer starts. It is available for iOS and Android. PcComponentes also has a mobile app.

Consider installing Amazon Assistant

Amazon has a specific assistant that offers offer notifications on your PC based on browser extensions. Includes order update; notifications about offers viewed; access to wishlist, product comparator and other features. You can try it if you find it useful.

You must be very quick, stranger

E-commerce platforms say that due to the popularity of some products, offers may run out… You can be sure that the best deals last not minutes, but seconds, especially Flash offers, which tend to be the ones that offer the biggest discount. Remember that once you add one of the products to your cart, you will have maximum time to confirm your purchase.

Use the waiting list

Even if you’re late for some of these deals, if you’re interested in one, get in line. All units can be reserved by other clients, but only temporarily. Use the waiting list and you will be notified when the product is back in stock. As before, you only have 15 minutes to make your purchase once the item is reserved.

Shipping costs

Shipping is free on Amazon Prime Day 2024 deals and on all the millions of products that Amazon sells or fulfills, as well as on most of what PcComponentes sells, but be careful with products sold by third-party sellers as they may have shipping costs. As for delivery times, they are usually as fast as usual, although some items may be delayed due to the volume of requests.

Warranty and returns

Purchases you make on Prime Day or PcDays will have a standard 30-day return period. It’s the same as a regular sale without a campaign, and don’t worry, Amazon and PcComponentes offer excellent response in these cases. Same with warranty as well as no offer period, two years generally in Spain.

What will be the best deals?

Amazon uses these days to promote its own line of hardware, and some of them tend to be the most discounted items. Echo assistants, Fire tablets or streamers, Kindle readers… The same with PcComponentes with their PcCom computers or Nilait TVs. If you’re looking for something from their own brand, you may not find it cheaper all year round. Of course, these platforms will sell thousands of products on sale, directly from other sellers as well.

Responsible shopping

As we recommend in all these types of campaigns, be clear about your needs. Keep track of the items you’re looking to buy, their regular retail price, other vendors’ offers, and a budget of what you’re willing to spend. These types of deals usually offer very good discounts on some items, but avoid impulse purchases. On the other hand, if you’re clear about it, don’t hesitate because these could be the best deals of the year on major e-commerce platforms.
