Amazon Prime Day is here. A wide range of products have got massive discounts across categories on the online retailer’s website. All of these deals are only available for Amazon Prime members, so if you want to get these discounts, you’ll have to buy a Prime subscription. We picked the best deals we found on Amazon US, though other Amazon stores like the ones in Canada and UK, among others, are also marking Prime Day 2016 with discounts of their own.
Note that most of these deals will not ship to India directly from Amazon US, though you may be able to find many other Prime Day deals that do. But don’t worry, here’s how you can order these products from the US and get them shipped to India. Before you go ahead make the purchase though, remember even if you get a fantastic deal you will have to pay taxes and Customs duties on the goods you order. This can increase the price significantly so you should factor that in before ordering. Note that companies may not honour the warranty locally either.
If the product you select can be delivered by Amazon to your home in India – it will tell you before you order – then the e-commerce company will take care of duties and taxes for you.
Here are the best deals from Amazon US Prime Day 2016 sale. If you already have an Amazon Echo, be sure to check out this page for all Alexa deals. The first purchase you make via Alexa gets you an additional $10 discount.
In addition to these, there are plenty of limited time, lightning deals as well, so keep checking the Prime Day deals page to make sure you don’t miss out on something.
