Shoppers around the world wait for Prime Big Deal Days sales this October. And if you’re not already familiar with the event, here’s everything you need to know on how to prepare your shopping list, learn about the best deals, save the most during the event, and how international shoppers can get their purchases home.

What to Expect from Prime Big Deal Days 2026

What makes Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sales appealing is the notable discounts across more than 35 categories, including electronics, fashion, home goods, and beauty.

Here are five of the most important things you need to know about Big Deal Days 2026
‍

Dates & How to Get Access

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days returns October 6–7, 2026 for 48 hours and the sales are available for Prime members. If you’re a new Prime member or haven't used a Prime membership or free trial in the past 12 months, you can get a 30-day free trial.

You might know Amazon's summer Prime Day, so you may be wondering how the October event is different. The June event ran for four days and leaned into summer shopping, outdoor essentials, fashion, electronics, and back-to-school needs. October's event is shorter and more seasonal, with shoppers looking for fall essentials, Halloween finds, early holiday gifts, and seasonal home products.

So while both events offer major savings, Prime Big Deal Days is worth checking on its own rather than treating it as a repeat of the summer sale.

Brands to Look Out for

Amazon has already announced deals of 45% off or more on products from brands including  Sony, Tarte, and Adidas, along with popular names such as Dyson, SharkNinja, Dove, LEGO, and Anker. You’ll also find seasonal picks from brands like UGG, NEST New York, and Barefoot Dreams, covering everything from tech and beauty to fashion and fall home essentials.

Apple is one brand worth keeping an eye on: Amazon offers discounts on products such as AirPods Pro 3 , AirPods Max 2, Apple Watch Series 11, and second-generation AirTags, while Apple itself rarely discounts its products directly.

For shoppers who want to start early, Amazon is currently offering discounts on AirPods, including 20% off AirPods Pro 3 and 13% off AirPods Max 2.

That also makes it a good opportunity to pick up compatible accessories in the same order, from chargers and cables to cases and other everyday essentials.

Smart Budget Finds

You don’t need a massive budget to find good deals during the October sale. For under $25, you can find useful picks such as Anker Soundcore P20i Earbuds, Loop Quiet 2 Earplugs, and the Jisulife 3-in-1 Mini Fan. Amazon Haul also has seasonal finds starting at just $1, including cozy mugs, candles, blankets, and pajamas, while selected fall fashion is under $6 and home décor under $8. If you’re shopping for game day, Amazon is also offering up to 50% off tailgating essentials and themed sports décor.
‍

Shop Early Prime Deals

Amazon is already rolling out early Prime Big Deal Days offers, including up to 45% off select Amazon devices and bundles and up to 70% off select Blink bundles.

These early offers are a good reason to start checking Amazon now rather than waiting until October 6, especially if you already have specific products on your shopping list.
‍

Halloween Shopping

If you want to do some early Halloween shopping, Amazon currently has a dedicated selection of seasonal deals. You can find family costumes and accessories starting at $5, alongside popular candy packs for under $10. There are also plenty of budget-friendly options for party decorations and trick-or-treating essentials if you want to prepare ahead of time.

How to Use Stackry to Maximize Your Savings This Prime Big Deal Days

Unlock the Full U.S. Selection with a U.S. Address

Amazon offers incredible Prime deals, but not every product is available for direct international delivery, and direct shipping fees can quickly eat into your savings. Additionally, local Amazon stores often have a much smaller selection compared to the US marketplace.

45 Days of Free Warehouse Storage‍

Whether you want to start shopping early, check out the Halloween deals, or simply take your time, Stackry gives you up to 45 days of free storage so you can shop at your own pace, check the items once they arrive at your locker, and take the time to check other U.S. stores.

You don’t have to finish your shopping in one day!

Shop Without U.S. State Sales Tax

New Hampshire has no state sales tax, so eligible purchases shipped to your Stackry address can avoid U.S. state sales tax.

That means the Prime Big Deal Days discount can go further before you even start paying for international shipping.

Lower Your Shipping Fees

Once you're finished shopping, Stackry can consolidate and repack your packages to reduce unnecessary space and potentially lower international shipping costs by up to 80%.

Instead of paying to ship several Amazon packages separately, you can send them together in one international shipment.
‍

Check Battery & Hazmat Rules Before You Buy

Tech deals such as power banks may have battery-related shipping restrictions, while products such as perfumes can be subject to liquid and hazmat rules. Check Stackry’s shipping guidelines before you buy to avoid surprises when it’s time to ship.
‍

Your Pre-Sale Checklist

Before October 6, make sure your Stackry U.S. address is added to your Amazon account and ready to use at checkout. If you’re planning to use the Prime free trial, set it up before the event starts, then add the products you want to watch to your Amazon list. Once your orders start arriving at your Stackry locker, you can wait until your shopping is complete and consolidate your packages into one international shipment.
