Amazon Prime Day 2019 will be a two days event:

 

 

Prime Day starts at midnight PT on Monday, July 15 and – for the first time ever – runs for 48 hours, offering members two full days with more than one million deals around the world. Prime Day will be the biggest celebration of deals with limited-time offers, never-before-seen entertainment and exclusive launches online and in-store. Also, members will find the biggest Prime Day deals ever on Alexa-enabled devices. Prime members in the U.S., U.K., Spain, Singapore, Netherlands, Mexico, Luxembourg, Japan, Italy, India, Germany, France, China, Canada, Belgium, Austria, Australia and – new this year – United Arab Emirates, can shop our best day(s) of deals.

Sign up to prime on the monthly plan.  Heaps of products will ship here, if they don't, use youshop. There are usually a couple of items that interest me.

I was looking at that, might be a nice improvement over TV-over-ARC until they have a decent sale on Shields.

 

On the other hand, it is $12.99 USD just to sign up for Prime; is there any other benefit to this in NZ? Or any other deals that might make it worth signing up?

 

Otherwise if I am just signing up to get this deal and cancelling, kind of not worth it.

 

I already have Prime Video, so I guess thats $4 USD right there, but I will probably resign with 2degrees and get that for free anyway.

They were offering 30 days free trial to prime. Unless they turn that off for Prime Day.

8tb seagate harddrive for $118.99usd. Even 10tb drives have come down to 159usd . 

 

https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Desktop-External-Drive-STGY8000400/dp/B07CQJBSQL/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=8tb&qid=1563225533&s=gateway&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sr=8-2

 

Also got a kindle paperwhite.

 

Even then, i'm not finding this to be much of a sale.

I have an Amazon Fire Tablet 8 kids on the way. I'm on a free month's prime membership so the tablet is $80, shipped via Youshop. Youshop's pages say they will take electronics with a battery in it, but not devices that are mostly batteries like USB batter packs.

Fire HD 10 tablet for 99.99 seems quite good to me, as does the 4K stick for 24.99, as mentioned above I think.

amazon.co.uk deals are up now too. Some very nice deals on Philips Hue, e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01K1WP7Z4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1 at ~ $160 NZ shipped vs $250-300 locally.

 

Can get £8 bonus when topping up £80 too: https://www.amazon.co.uk/b?node=16749737031 which makes it about $150 shipped plus some spare balance.

The closest I could find is this deal for $1.99 for a week of Prime.

 

Which I guess makes it reasonable for the Fire Stick even by itself.
