When does Amazon Prime Day end?
Despite being called Prime Day, Amazon’s shopping bonanza actually lasts for two days. This year, the event kicked off at midnight on Monday 21 June, which means there isn’t long to go until the savings end.
Lasting precisely 48 hours, the deals will finish tonight and, while you’ve still got several hours to go, we recommend checking out sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment, as many big-ticket items and popular products will sell out fast.
What time does Amazon Prime day end?
This year’s sale will officially conclude at 11:59pm on Tuesday 22 June.
But remember, there are two types of deals in Amazon’s shopping extravaganza. While many offers will last for a full day, or two, there are also Lightning Deals, which last for a limited time only – so make sure to double check if you have your eye on a particular product.
When is the next Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day typically takes place every year in July but recently there have been some major changes to its start date.
In 2020, the retailer moved the event to October in order to better support the safety of employees amid the coronavirus pandemic and for 2021 it started earlier than ever before, running from 21 June to 22 June.
So, when will Prime Day 2022 take place? Amazon is yet to confirm whether or not the sale will stick with its earlier date or return to its usual July slot next year. However, the IndyBest team will be keeping across all the latest news as it happens, so keep checking back to make sure you stay in the know.
