Amazon prepared for glitches on Prime Day, exec says
Amazon Prime Vice President Cem Sibay said the company has been working diligently ahead of Prime Day to make sure this year’s two-day sale event goes off without a hitch.
“We’ve been working on preparing for this year’s Prime Day since essentially last year’s Prime Day [was] over," Sibay told FOX Business’ Stuart Varney on Friday. "So essentially we’re ready. We’ve been working very hard."
Amazon Prime Day: Avoid these deals and items, experts say
Amazon Prime Day or the year’s biggest shopping event for Prime members is approaching but these deals and items are one to avoid.
Despite a minor tech glitch that temporarily kept shoppers from making any purchases last year during Prime Day, the e-commerce giant still raked in a record $3.5 billion in sales.
Although Sibay declined to disclose the company’s forecasts for this year's Prime Day sales, he said: “we are expecting a record-breaking year again.”
