Jeff and I have been told about a possible huge sales event Amazon is preparing for on July 15, 2015.  We have a friend who works within the Robbinsville, NJ Amazon warehouse and they are ramping up for huge activity.  My brother in law (who is a mailman) also let me know that they were told that the USPS was told to be prepared for double the Amazon shipments from July 13-18.  A friend wrote me today to confirm our suspicions of a gigantic 20th Anniversary Sale that will discount many "Prime" items 25-50% OFF!  While this is only a rumor at this point, it makes a lot of sense since Amazon's first day of business was July 16, 1995.  There is too much smoke here for there not to be a fire.  

Get your wallets ready.  If you are not a Prime member, now is the time to join.

I am curious if it applies to UK and German sites as well.

There are rumors of increased activity in UK warehouses. 

Might be time to get that AMZ store card with rewards.

Might be a good time for that free trial.

It applies to all Amazon marketplaces

Black Friday in July....I am down for that!

We need some sort of sale.  Pickings have been slim for months.

Good, I need some beef jerky.

If this is true, what to buy from Amazon?...

Can't wait Galidor to be on 50% sale

Great rumor/news! 

Stupid question... how to become a prime member and what are the advantages?

Nice! Thanks for the info.

I just do not fully understand the amazon echo though... can you hear yourself talk all day?

 

I am a strange dude   

Honestly though, it plays Audible.com audiobooks to me, streams music while I work, I use the service all the time when I am working on the site.  I now get Sunday deliveries of items and hoping the same day service will start as well.  For me, it is the best money I spend all year.  Tons of value.   The amount I save on Free Two Day shipping is worth it alone for me.

Prime video streaming and the Fire Stick are good values too.  I've never been a Netflix subscriber, so the Amazon Streaming is a nice perk.

This is exactly what we need here in the summer to get things going.  I really hope it is a good sale. Things have been pretty quiet for a while and I am ready to get started.

Oh and Amazon Prime is awesome.  Been a member for years.

There 's a way to guess which items are most likely to get the sale, it is those who went from a few left in stock to undetermined quantity,

for restockable items, as the amazon workers are filling the warehouses.

Sounds legit, you would think Canada would be included in this as well. I really like the sound of this

Look forward to reading the subject line of the daily deals thread during this event.

There are rumors of increased activity in UK warehouses. 

mentioned this possible sale to my wife.  A friend of a family member works for Amazon UK and had already mentioned the possible sale starting the same date.

A bit of a reach, but not quite as bad as the friend of the neighbor to the assistant store manager's niece source of info.  Has me convinced that it is worth keeping close tabs.

Good, I need some exclusives on sale, let's hope. Stinks only 2 at a time though.
