Too many shoppers!

AMZN's website crashed for Prime Day.

what is the benefit of ordering on prime day? do you have to have prime to get it?

I noticed that too, I’m not surprised though.

As usual, it's underwhelming. Same prices as you can get at wm every day of the year. Still looking.

I agree. It's very underwhelming....but it usually is. I had some time so I sat down to browse and the pages kept reloading. Lots of glitches. I got up to page 24 and it just crashed and took me back to the beginning.

Nothing that interested me at all. I checked my wish lists and none of my items were on sale.

Nothing I want either. They had a Clarisonic MIA 2 for $110 but I decided I didn’t need it. Went through 200 pages and nothing I need or want.

Not a fan of Amazon.....and dont like the way they play games with prices and smugly say they want to conquer the retail world!!! They went into IT, groceries and soon banking and health insurance, and driving other retailers into bankruptcy in the process... so glad it happened to them....

I just ordered the small Dash air fryer. It was $10 off for Prime day. No problem ordering.

No interest in Amazon on Prime Day or any other day.

I find their sort feature soooo confusing I could never browse 2 pages let alone 200.

Yeah, I'm done. I've been trying since 4 and I'm sick of that dog. The funny thing is I buy stuff from Amazon 4 or 5 times a week and I order mid week groceries from Primenow. I don't even care that much about Prime Days. So, its ironic that loyal customers like me are locked out. I ordered groceries on Peapod and I'll check in on Amazon after the craziness ends.

I ordered a few things so far. Nothing special, but a few dollars less than usual.

I did have to make several attempts to get them in the cart and place the order.

So far, I see a few more things I may buy. Will also check out Target tomorrow.

The good news is the prime day has caused several others to have their own "special" sale...Macy's, Gap, Kohls, etc

Re: Every Retailers dream -- or

BootLvr — Tue, 17 Jul 2018 01:02:50 GMT

Yup, I ordered a pair of boots for 20% off at DSW. That same pair was full price on Amazon.

I'm very disappointed. I "get" what AMZN is doing ... moving the stuff it wants to move by discounting it. So, in essence, they determine what you buy. Since I retired, I'm no longer an "impulse" shopper. I buy what I need. Nothing I needed was on sale. 👎

Hahahaah! Retailers revenge!

They must've been thrilled to hear AMZN's website crashed.

And, AMZN "Prime day" is now Prime "day and a half".
