Amazon PrimeDay Users Can't Checkout - #PrimeDayFail 2018

Here is the screen that people are getting when they can’t check out:

I have been waiting quite some time for PrimeDay to get here to pick up some deals on Amazon. 3PM Eastern, July 16, 2018 finally arrived. I went over to Amazon to find the deal I couldn’t live without. It was the Instapot. Unfortunately, the Instapot has now sold out. 🙁

This TV is a good deal though:

This too shall pass. Just give it a few.

I’m sure this is short lived and I have confidence in Amazon. The only reason users can’t checkout is due to extreme demand. Amazon has some of the best computer servers in the world.

#PrimeDayFail 2018?

#PrimeDayFail is a popular hashtag and I’m sure several people are ready to pounce on this. However, I think this year’s Prime Day is going to be excellent. In 2015, there were some deals which just weren’t cool, such as silicon spoon rests, an item I didn’t know existed.

Here’s what mobile users are seeing:

I love Amazon and obviously many other people do, too. If you have any comments about this temporary issue please feel free to comment below.

Every-time I go proceed to check out, my items gets move save for later. It’s doing this for 1 1/2 hour.

Everytime I go to check out my items are moved to my save for later. Very frustrating for over an hour.

Same for me. I could check out some crayons but all of my other items are moving to my “save for later” no matter how many times I move them to my cart I’m unable to purchase them.

  Same here if it’s a prime day item can’t buy it it goes save for later. If I try on laptop instead of phone it goes to error page.
