Amazon Prime Day 2026: what to expect

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days takes place in the autumn, seeing discounts on thousands of bestselling products. 

We're yet to find out when the next sale is taking place, but it's expected to land sometime in October. When it does, we'll be rounding up the best deals that are worth adding to your shopping list, including everything from air fryers to toilet roll.

In the meantime, here's everything you need to know ahead of the event.

Amazon usually holds two Prime Day sales each year, one in the summer and one in the autumn. 

The online retailer held its summer Prime Day a few weeks earlier than usual in June 2026. We're yet to hear anything about when its autumn sale will take place.

    How to return Amazon purchases

    If you buy a product on Amazon Prime Day and it arrives on your doorstep damaged, the retailer is fully responsible.

    Under the Consumer Rights Acts, your purchase needs to be of satisfactory quality (not faulty or damaged), fit for purpose and as described. If your Prime Day product doesn't meet one of these requirements, the retailer (not the manufacturer) is in breach of the Consumer Rights Act.

    Amazon will refund the cost of sending an item back if it was sold or dispatched by Amazon. If the item you bought isn't eligible for a free return, and you’re using a pre-paid return label, Amazon will deduct the cost of the return from your refund.

    How to recycle your old tech

    If you're looking to replace some older technology by shopping in the Prime Day sale, make sure you dispose of your old items in a responsible way.

    You have a few options if you want to offload your unwanted electronics. Kerbside collection is suitable for small electrical items – in many cases, your local council will collect smaller items such as toasters and kettles. Alternatively, you can drop items at a local recycling centre.
