The sale is the longest in Prime day history
This years extended sale makes the event the longest Prime Day in history.
Members this year are being offered twice as much time to browse the discounts on offer.
Hundreds of thousands of deals will reportedly be offered by the tech firm across its site.
Major discounts are set to be offered on big name brands like Lego, Bose, Ninja, CeraVe and more.
This years Prime Day will start at 00:01 on July 8 and will last until 23:59 on July 11.
Not all of the bargains on offer will last for the whole duration of the sale.
If stocks of certain items run low the price cuts will be dropped so shoppers will have to rush if they want to bag a popular item at a discounted rate.
Prime Day offers dozens of perks
A new curated list called Today’s Big Deals will feature a bundle of products only available to Prime Members.
A new feature, the New Deal Drop will see prices on specific products crash with new products dropped every day of the Prime Day sale at midnight.
Prime members will be getting exclusive access to the deals on offer and free next day delivery on thousands of items.
How to access the sale
Savvy shoppers will know that Amazon is offering a free 30-day Prime trial.

Even if you have taken on a free 30-day trial for previous Prime Day sales you might be able to pull the same trick again this year.
