Prime Day tips: How to make the most out of Prime Day deals in 2020

Don't make bad choices because you weren't informed.

On big shopping days, like Amazon Prime Day 2020, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement and buy things that may not have really been a good deal. Now, if it's a product that you actually wanted or needed, and the price was what you could afford, there's really no such thing as a bad deal, but the risks come with impulse purchasing. With millions of deals coming and going, it can be easy to buy something that wasn't actually a good deal. Luckily, we have a few tricks up our sleeve to help you avoid making these bad purchases, so let's dive right in.

Prepare in advance

Having a basic idea of the items you are looking for and a price you're willing to spend on them will definitely help keep you on track. It's easy to miss out on deals because you aren't looking in the right places or because you spent too much time trying to research and see if it's worth buying it. Having a plan of attack before the event starts is an easy way to help you succeed.

If you download the free Amazon Shopping app on your iPhone or Android device, you can actually save deals that you're interested in so that you don't miss out. Having these items marked ahead of time will keep you on track.

Stick to listings shipped by Amazon

Amazon is a huge marketplace, and while most of the items you'll see on Prime Day will be sold and shipped by Amazon, some of them will come from third-party sellers. While most third-party sellers are trustworthy, there could be some that have bad intentions. From recently-launched stores to those without feedback, it can be hard to know exactly what you're getting without a ton of research. Prime Day is not a day you want to be researching sellers and pricing, so it's best to keep it simple.

Items that are sold and shipped by Amazon are always trusted, this means that Amazon handles the whole experience for you and all of the customer service will take place through them. There are other listings that will be sold by third parties, generally the brand, and then shipped by Amazon. On these items, Amazon handles the fulfillment of the item (packing and shipping) and has the items in its warehouse.

Keep it locked to Thrifter

The team over at Thrifter will be covering all of the best deals that come and go during all 36 hours of the event. From direct price drops to coupons, Lightning Deals, and more, if you want one place to go to find all the best deals, this is it. The team will be comparing the discounted prices to regular pricing, vetting sellers, and ensuring that everything that is posted is completely trustworthy.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
