Amazon readies new 48-hour shopping event for Prime members

Amazon has unveiled a new two-day shopping event for Prime members – due to take place six weeks ahead of Black Friday.

The Prime Early Access Sale will take place on 11-12 October in 15 countries: Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the UK and the US.

It will give members a chance to kick off the festive shopping season early with hundreds of thousands of deals globally, from fashion and electronics, to toys and everyday essentials. Prime members will find top brands such as Shark, Nespresso, Philips, Oral-B, Samsung, Xiaomi, iRobot, LEGO, Melissa & Doug and Hasbro among others.

“Across the UK, our Prime members will get the opportunity to start shopping some of the season’s top deals before anyone else with Amazon’s new Prime Early Access Sale,” commented John Boumphrey, UK country manager at Amazon. “You may not be ready for Panto and mince pies but with fewer than 90 days until Christmas, it’s not too early to start planning your shopping for the festive season ahead, and this exclusive 48-hour sales event will help people save money and shop smarter as we head into the festive season.”
