It's
Christmas in July for Amazon.
Millions of sales can be found through Wednesday.
"Amazon Prime Day is
basically Christmas in July for us,” says spokesperson Verena Gross.
The Robbinsville fulfillment
center is No. 3 in the world for highest volume producing centers
because orders get dispersed throughout New Jersey, New York and
Philadelphia.
"We're gonna do about
800,000 per day out of this facility,” says director of operations Brian Perez.
“I'll say that it's a 30% increase from our building compared to a
normal day."
More than half of the items sold
on Amazon come from small businesses.
“Small businesses are really the
backbone of our economy and really, really crucial to Amazon itself,” says
Gross.
Millions of sales take place on
Amazon Prime Day, including 30% off on school supplies, Amazon Fire
TVs at up to 79% off, up to 50% off of home appliances and more. Sales will
be popping up throughout each day.
"That refresh button is
gonna be your best friend on your browser or on your computer, and you'll see
the latest and greatest on Amazon.com,” says Brian Kelly, retail specialist.
It’s the fifth Amazon
Prime Day, and it seems like it just gets bigger and bigger each
year. It's goes through Wednesday with sales starting at 3 a.m.
