For the first time ever, Amazon’s "highly-anticipated" annual shopping event, Prime Day will be available for Singapore Prime members.

Prime Day will start on Monday, July 16, 12pm SGT and end 36 hours later on Tuesday, July 17, 11:59 pm SGT. Members in Singapore join members in Japan, India, China, Australia, the US, UK, Spain, Mexico, Italy, Germany, France, Canada, Belgium, Austria, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, in accessing shopping deals for kitchen, grocery, toys, automotive, electronics, home improvement, office supplies and everyday essentials.

“We are excited to announce Prime members in Singapore for the first time ever will be able to enjoy 36 hours of great deals and exclusives during Prime Day available for delivery in as little as one-hour from Prime Now,” said Henry Low, director of Operations, Amazon Singapore. “Since we launched our first retail offering in July last year with Prime Now, we have been energised by the response from our customers. We continue to work hard to keep making Prime better, adding more selection and benefits. This is just the beginning.”

Every day leading up to Prime Day, members in Singapore will discover exclusive offers and deals, such as 20% off of AmazonBasics items, and hundreds of hours of free gameplay as Twitch Prime gives away a free PC game every day through July 18.

Also new this year, brands will unbox exclusive new items available just for Prime members for a limited time. Select Prime Day exclusives in Singapore include items from home appliance brand KitchenAid, abrasive products maker Scotch-Brite, audio company Sennheiser, and consumer technology company WowWee.
