Estimated loss of millions
As the current report on the Internet indicates, the popular Amazon Prime Day should be postponed now. Therefore, the day of bargaining and good trading may be much later. In addition, Amazon still retains many products.
Corona virus not only affects people at home, but also companies. According to Reuters, the latest example may now be Amazon. The popular Amazon Prime Day should have been postponed until at least August 2020. In fact, the bargaining day of the world's largest mail order company established in 2015 starts in July of each year.
Reuters documents also show that Amazon is not only struggling on Prime Day. For example, attention should be paid to the minimum distance between the factory and the employees in the dispatch warehouse to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Of course, this also means that many workers can no longer work, and the warehouse is full of inquiries about Golden Day.

During Amazon Prime Day, the mail order company on the website will also have a lot of products to be greatly reduced. The production of many Amazon devices has already begun in the winter, and it is now causing trouble for the company. According to the documents, since the retailer was unable to sell these devices at a discounted price earlier on Prime Day, the company's current product may lose more than $ 100 million.
Devices such as Amazon Echo series of smart speakers, set-top boxes and joysticks in the form of Amazon Fire tablets or Amazon Fire TV devices are affected.
Other third-party issues
However, it will also be difficult for third-party stores that sell goods through Amazon on the mail order company's website. Because the discount does not apply to Amazon products. During the gold trading day, commodities from third-party manufacturers and providers will also be provided on the platform at greatly reduced prices to promote sales. The postponement of the Golden Day also affected other stores.
So far, there is no exact date for Amazon Prime Day in August. In addition, the document also pointed out that initially, August was only temporarily selected. According to the worsening of the corona crisis, the delay may be further delayed, even in the fall. However, here, Prime Day will collide with "Cyber Monday" or "Black Friday". The complete cancellation of the Golden Day is not impossible.
