Prime Day Amazon crashes

5 years ago

Today is Prime Day so I went to look around. The site has crashed, but on a positive note each crashed page shows a different Amazon dog.

I just went through page after page after page of Amazon deals and realized not only do I not need anything, but I think I would rather shop locally. So many smaller stores are closing down left right and center because of online shopping. A friend mentioned that today. I think from now on, the only time I'll buy online is if I cannot find what I want in any store here.

I heard about that. I don't have prime so it isn't affecting me. With all the hype about it too bad they are having problems.

Yep. I couldn’t log in from my phone. I’m not at home and usually don’t use my phone. Plus what I had in my cart went up almost $10. I will wait.

I don't understand Amazon Prime!

Linelle, I don't know anything about Amazon Household. I'm the one with the Amazon account in my house. Usually dh just sends me a link to something on Amazon when he wants to order something, but he could easily log in using my username and password. My mom uses my Amazon account to watch videos on her iPad. I just logged into Amazon Prime on her iPad with my username and password, and she can now watch movies. She and my father have a regular Amazon account, and she doesn't usually need 2-day shipping but a couple of times when she needed something quickly, I have just ordered it for her. Her credit card number is saved in my account. I have an address book in Amazon with addresses saved for people I occasionally send gifts to (my relatives). When I place an order, you have the option to choose the method of payment and address for shipping so I just switch to my mom's credit card and address when she wants me to buy something for her. You could always do that with your daughter if she doesn't or can't set up a Household account, assuming you don't mind if she has your credit card saved in her account. Or, she could give you her log in information and you can just order things right from her account using your own credit card.

LOL Spanish. I didn't buy anything from Amazon. But, I had several emails from other stores/sites who were also offering sales. I didn't take advantage. Didn't need anything but I did buy a cool necklace from an Etsy shop and now need to find a shirt to wear with the necklace! HA!

I finally 'discovered' Amazon Prime

I order from Amazon a lot. I used to use it only for the quick shipping but I recently started occasionally using Prime Video. Sometimes I'll order from Walmart(dot)com. Usually I can do better there when ordering non-perishable grocery items. I'm on a budget so I compare prices. If it costs more to order online than walking into Walmart, I walk into Walmart and get it. Paying more for the convenience, or having to tip for a Walmart grocery delivery, doesn't fit into my budget. I'd love it if Amazon would extent Amazon Fresh into my area. I was hoping the pandemic would nudge them into it but it has not. Amazon prices (even when sold by Amazon) can vary anywhere from a really good deal to an absolute ripoff so I sometimes make use of the 3 camel Firefox addon to notify me when an Amazon listing drops to the price point I specify: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/the-camelizer-price-history-ch/ When/if Walmart finally goes back up 24 hours, I'll likely return to my old routine. Shop often, just getting a handful of items, whatever looks good at the time. Late at night they were never busy. This town is rat-racy right up until... 10 PM or so but then it's dead, which I love.

Bunny! 😂 I was asking my DH the same thing, nearly word for word. It’s so gross. I do dry my teeth first, but that just helps with the initial application. I actually start salivating before I even open the package. 😬 I will say — I’ve noticed a difference after a week of it. My problem is coffee and wine, and it’s working great on those. I’m so happy with the results ... just not being Drooly McDroolMouth every morning for 30 minutes.

We bought a Fire Stick for $19.99 . It was in our cart, unavailable, back in our cart and we bought it as soon as we could. Otherwise, the site kept crashing.

I just went there, worth it just to see the cute dogs, but then I hit the home page and got to my page quickly.

I bought one item shortly after 3:00 but every item I looked for after that crashed. I lost interest.

There is an Instant Pot for $58 6 quart

That’s a good deal. I want one but the 6 quart is just too big for my small kitchen and the kind of cooking I do. Thanks for mentioning it I’ll be keeping an eye out. I ordered a couple of small things today, new phone case and a dog ball.

Macy’s has free shipping with no minimum. I got a jacket and sleepwear.

Oh, that Instant Pot. Just bought it, I think

I bought it shortly after the whole shebang started. I checked later (to make sure I bought one I really did want) and it wasn't in my Orders list.

Took me awhile, but I found it again. It just wouldn't get into my cart. Then it said 'no more available' (paraphrasing)

Then, just now I checked again, and success.

So, maybe the site is settling down (after all the excitement had people forgettingaboutit

Socks, I bought a 3qt instant pot today at Kohls for $51 something. Check out this web site that gives you codes to use. If you’re not a Kohl’s cardholder, i think it will probably cost an extra $10. https://hip2save.com/2018/07/13/kohls-cardholders-instant-pot-pressure-cooker-only-62-99-shipped-earn-10-kohls-cash/

Thanks Bluebell. I'll definitely check on that after Amazon's big day is over. I hope you like your pot. If it comes up on Amazon, my DIL might get it for me, but good to know about Kohls.

Good for you, Debby.

Yeah. I didn’t even go on to see the sales, I just wanted to see the price for Apple chips....

Search was down. Now I have to go find dried apples elsewhere....

I have been a Prime member since 2003 and it’s never crashed like this! And the dogs are very cute.

I don't have Prime, but I thought about doing the trial subscription just to see what deals there are -- but after a little thought concluded that I didn't need anything really. On Wednesday I will probably think of 4 or 5 things I should have looked for.

ah! so that's what was wrong with Amazon today. I tried to look something up but it kept doing weird things - and the dog page would pop up. After about 5 or so tries I gave up.

Raee_gw, I'm keeping my Prime subscription for the Amazon tv. We also have Netflix, but sometimes there is stuff on Prime we can't find on Netflix. For the price of a subscription per year, it's cheaper than Netflix.

My closest grocery is Whole Foods so prime saves me. And two of my supplements are hard to find elsewhere.

I tried to order one of the books for the book club yesterday but couldn't. I hope they fix it soon.

Well, it worked fine about 11pm (east coast) last night. Maybe tonight.

Want to check out the cook books (no nearby bookstore).

It’s about 1:30 and it still doesn’t work. I need to order a present for a friend for her birthday, and it’s coming up real soon! And Amazon has the best price, so hopefully soon it’ll work!

I heard about it this AM and went online to see what it was all about. I didn't see anything that was such a bargain that I was interested in buying it. It was so hard to even find what was on sale and if it was a bargain or not. If there were bargains, I guess I'll just have to survive without them!

The bargains did not hit any of my wants/needs. This felt like a scam, a way to suck people in hoping for impulse sales. Much a do......

Poor dogs, they are so cute but so far one only sees them when things go wrong.

order a kindle paper white for DD... $40 off., got it for $80. thought it was a good deal

and for prime members, instead of picking one free book a month, you were allowed to pick all 6. i did pick 4 out of the 6. and if u ordered one ebook, you got 75% off your next ebook. thought that was good too, will be great for next month's KT book club.

did all this last night around 10:00pm... had no problems, saw no dogs :)
