Amazon Boxing Day sale 2020: The best deals to expect from Dyson, Bosch, Nespresso and more (OLD)

Christmas Day is just one day away, which also means the Boxing Day sales are just around the corner too.

As the final sale of the year, it’s your last chance to bag a bargain, and some of the best deals are to be found on Amazon.

Amazon is not shy of a sale, and this year has been bigger than ever, with its annual Prime Day in October (which is usually held in July but was delayed because of the pandemic), before a month-long series of discounts for Black Friday in November.

So it’s no surprise that it’ll also be participating in the post-Christmas sales, with huge discounts expected on tech, gaming, kitchen appliances, toys and more.

It’s the perfect opportunity to treat yourself, get ahead of your to-do list or stock up on some last-minute gifts for belated Christmas celebrations with relatives and friends you’re unable to see on the day itself. And you won’t even need to get off the sofa to do your shopping.

However, nobody has time to scroll through thousands of deals. So we'll be doing the hard work for you, bringing you all the information needed to navigate the event and carefully selecting the discounts that are too good to miss.

When does Amazon’s Boxing Day sale start?

While you would expect it to be 26 December, Amazon is always one step ahead with its sales, and launched its last-minute deals on 7 December, which are available until 23 December.

Amazon’s post-Christmas deals will be part of what the online giant calls its end of year sale, and while we can’t confirm the exact duration of its Boxing Day sale just yet, it’s expected to last until the end of the month, as it has done in previous years – so you should be able to snap up bargains until the new year.

How to get the best Boxing Day deals on Amazon

To ensure you don’t go wild and accidentally overspend, we suggest making a list of items you need, setting a budget and diligently sticking to it.

As January pay checks can often be a long wait, we’d suggest spending wisely without getting sucked into the sale frenzy.

Also, if you're hoping to score some savings on bigger items such as laptops and TVs, ensure you do your research beforehand to be confident you’re getting the best price possible.

Tips for shopping Amazon’s Boxing Day sale

The sheer volume of deals available on Amazon can make it tricky to guarantee you’re getting the best bargain possible, but there are a few ways you can stay ahead.

Creating a free account with the online retailer will make checkout speedier, ensuring you don’t lose out on popular items that can sell out quickly, such as Apple AirPods or the Nintendo Switch.

If you’re not already an Amazon Prime member, it’s worth subscribing as it gives you same-day and next-day delivery, so you won't have to wait long to enjoy your purchases.

It also includes perks such as access to Prime Video, Amazon Music and the ability to download and enjoy over 800,000 free e-books. Monthly membership is £7.99 or you can pay £79 once a year. If you’re not registered, you can sign-up to a 30-day trial.

Make sure you pay a visit to PriceSpy or CamelCamelCamel, which check the original price of an item, so you can be sure you’re getting the best deal possible before parting with your cash.
