The promotion will offer Prime members discounts across more than 35 categories, including special offers on daily necessities and household products. The platform has also launched some early discounts before the official start of the event to build shopping momentum.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers should immediately check inventory levels and ensure FBA inbound shipments are completed by mid-June to avoid stockouts caused by logistics congestion.
