Amazon Prime Day is now up and running in most territories, with the US set to get in on the action in just a few hours.
So how can you find your way to the best Prime Day deals this yearBrowsing direct to Amazon is not often the best way for a number of reasons.
Firstly, Amazons site is famous for being very hard to navigate - it relies heavily on users searching on site or landing from Google rather than browsing.
And secondly, Amazon is obviously always going to be pushing the products it makes the most margin on the hardest.In the UK for example, Amazon is putting its own Echo, Echo Dot and Fire TV Stick front and centre, along with a Bosch cordless drill, a Philips electric toothbrush, Fitbit Charge 2, a Philips Lumea body hair removal device and so forth.Its no accident that these products are so prominently featured Amazon thinks itll make more money from these products through a combination of margin and popularity.So how can you make sure you actually find the best products rather than the things Amazon is more keen to sell you Here are five tips:1.
Check out our deals roundups!Weve got teams working around the clock pulling out the best products and best deals in the Prime Day sales.
The goal is to help you get to the deals youll be most happy with, and weve divided our pages by product category so no matter whether youre after Prime Day TV deals, laptops deals, smart speakers or anything else were here to help.2.
Check out our reviewsTheIndianSubcontinent reviews hundreds of popular tech products every year.
So obviously if you arent sure whether that thing youre looking at is any good, check for a review.
Use Google to find out what expert opinions are out there (hey, TheIndianSubcontinent cant review every product in the world) and check out customer reviews as well.
If a product has lots of happy customers thats a great sign.
If there are hardly any user reviews available or if they seem to be quite negative, steer clear.3.
Go for known brandsThis is true in any product category, from sports gear to baby products and toys to gaming and fashion - but its particularly true in tech.
With so many Chinese brands out there churning out reasonably priced tech items it can be hard to spot the products youre going to be able to rely on.
By sticking to brands youve heard of and have some trust in, you minimise the chances of being disappointed with your purchase.4.
Know your rights!Its always important to know your rights! You are entitled to return items youre not happy with so theres always a safety net if youre wondering whether to take a chance.5.
Shop around!Just because theres a Prime Day deal happening, doesnt mean its the best deal out there on that product.
Check the other big online stores for prices its a good way to get a gauge on how strong each deal is.
And of course in our deals roundups were not featuring any deals which are available at a better price elsewhere! So if you want to guarantee yourself a great deal, stick with TheIndianSubcontinent!Browse the best Amazon Prime Day deals:
