Amazon announced that Prime Day 2024 was its biggest shopping event to date, with record sales and more items sold than any previous Prime Day.
During the two-day event on July 16 and 17, Prime members saved billions on deals across more than 35 categories, with more members shopping this year compared to 2023. The event saw a huge increase in Prime memberships, with millions signing up in the three weeks leading up to Prime Day, said Amazon on Thursday.
“Prime Day 2024 was a huge success thanks to the millions of Prime members globally who turned to Amazon for fantastic deals, and our much-appreciated employees, delivery partners, and sellers around the world who helped bring the event to life for customers,” said Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores, in a statement.
Customers shopped deals from popular brands like Sol de Janeiro, Apple, Dyson, and Ring, as well as from small businesses including TruSkin, ALOHA, Blueland, and Native Pet. Independent sellers, mostly small and medium-sized businesses, sold over 200 million items.

Yeah, amazing sales…. until you get a notification that "your order has been refunded" after never making it to your door.
Maybe Scamazon is hiring drivers that are on bail from porch thieving charges? 🤣
