Reuters is reporting that Amazon is delaying its annual Prime Day shopping event because of the coronavirus. As it stands now, Amazon is planning to hold its 48-hour shopping bonanza in August at the earliest. The date, however, is not set in stone and it’s entirely possible that it may be delayed even further pending the economic fallout from the coronavirus.
Delaying Prime Day is a pretty significant move for Amazon. The two-day shopping event typically takes the U.S. by storm and offers up truly tremendous deals to Prime subscribers. Last year, Amazon boasted that Prime Day 2019 was the “largest shopping event in Amazon history.”
