Prime Day, normally held each year around July, is Amazon’s major shopping event, bringing us deals of nearly every kind across the Amazon platform.
Because Amazon is struggling to keep up with the orders it already has, officials have decided it best to push back Prime Day until September.
It’s no secret to anyone who has a window. Amazon’s trucks, UPS, FedEx, the Post Office, I’ve even seen rental trucks in my neighborhood delivering packages. People are ordering a LOT more online than we had been.
I’ll admit, I’ve been doing it too. Normally if I needed a new vacuum cleaner I’d just swing by Wal Mart after work. Now, because I’m working at home, I ordered one on Amazon and had it delivered. We’re all doing it. I’ve been doing it a lot.
So Prime Day will probably happen in September. But at that point – is there really gonna be anything I need that’s still left to buy?
