Prime Day Questions Answered by Past Shoppers

We conducted a recent survey of 851 nationally representative US consumers who shopped during the Prime Day sale last year. Here are some questions they can answer for us, according to an annual survey of Americans who are past Prime Day-shoppers:

Is Prime Day worth it?

Yes! 65% of past Prime Day Shoppers definitely plan to shop Prime Day again. 35% said they might shop on Prime Day if they find a good deal (which they probably will). Only 5% answered that they would not shop again. And, over 3/4 of shoppers plan to spend the same amount of money or more than last year on Prime Day.

  • Lightning Deals: Many Prime Day discounts are in the form of lightning deals, which not only have a timer but also a limited number of deals. Good deals are snatched up within seconds, but signing up for the waiting usually can score you the deal. Also, if you shop with the Amazon App, you can get alerts for lightning deals.
  • 2-Day-Long Deals: Other deals, usually on Amazon’s own tech, are up for the whole day or the full two-day event.Some of the best deals on Prime Day will be on Amazon’s extensive line of brands and companies you may not have even known they owned. Make sure to look through the current list of over 75 Amazon brands to see if there are items you really want to save on – from mattresses to clothes to personal care lines.
  • Price Mistakes: Though they are rare and Amazon seems to be getting better at catching and preventing them, I’ve occasionally seen price mistakes on Prime Day. The most notable one was when Amazon sold almost every camera and lens on their site for only $94.50.

More on Price Mistakes: An Epic Price Mistake Story

This price mistake story comes up every year around Amazon Prime Day: The epic camera equipment price mistake. Every single high-end camera and camera equipment went for just $100. This meant that items like a $15,000 camera lens also sold for $100. While most price mistake orders ended up getting cancelled, I’ve heard of people who had lots of orders actually go through. Some Slickdealers ended up making a killing reselling the camera items. One deal poster claimed to have bought a Tesla with the equipment resold while someone else allegedly paid a down-payment on an LA apartment.
