Amazon Prime Day 2025 racks up record sales figures, company says
Amazon stretched out its annual Prime Day sales event so that it lasted four days – twice as long as in the past – and, as a result, blew away previous sales figures. The online retailing powerhouse – and tech giant – said Prime Day 2025, which ran from July 8-11, was its biggest ever, the company announced Saturday, July 12, in a news release. Amazon's 11th Prime Day drove record sales and a record number of items sold, larger than any previous four-day period that included a Prime Day event, the company said. (The promotion became a two-day affair in 2019; this year, Amazon expanded it to four days for the first time.) U.S. online spending during Prime Day's four days amounted to an estimated $24.1 billion, according to Adobe. Its Adobe Analytics sales data tracks online transactions across U.S. retail sites. The data, which is aggregated and anonymized, doesn't directly track Amazon's sales but does reflect overall spending and suggest Prime Day demand. Spending for Prime Day amounted to "more than two Black Fridays – which drove $10.8 billion in online spending during the 2024 holiday shopping season – and sets a new benchmark for the summer shopping season," Adobe said in a news release. The total also surpassed Adobe's pre-Prime Day estimate of $23.8 billion in sales. "This year's extended Prime Day event delivered incredible savings to our members across millions of deals," said Doug Herrington, CEO of Amazon Worldwide Stores, in a news release. "We're thrilled to see record savings for our customers, who found great prices on the everyday essentials and products they love." Shopping: Here are the best still-live Amazon Prime Day deals you can buy today Herrington also saluted Amazon's employees, saying, "Their efforts made this our biggest Prime Day yet, and I'm grateful for their contributions." Independent sellers, including small and medium-sized businesses, also racked up record sales and a record number of items sold, according to Amazon. "We saw impressive sales not just on our Prime exclusive deals but across our entire catalog," said Anne Maza, co-owner of the small business Olivia Garden, in a statement. "Beyond the immediate revenue boost, we're especially thrilled about the increased brand awareness and the acquisition of new customers through the event.' A majority of shoppers (53.2%) made purchases on mobile devices, compared to on desktop computers, accounting for $12.8 billion of the spending, according to Adobe. The sales racked up despite economic uncertainties driven by President Donald Trump's tariff strategy and flagging consumer confidence. Among the products consumers snatched up during the Prime Day period, according to Adobe: Kids' apparel (up 250%, compared to average daily sales in June 2025) Home security products (+185%) School supplies (+175%) Refrigerators & freezers (+160%) Games (+160%) Headphones & speakers (+155%) Car seats (+145%) Luggage (+145%) Vacuum cleaners (+140%) Power tools (+135%) Computers (+125%) Smartphone accessories (+120%) Storage furniture (+120%) Televisions (+90%) Small kitchen appliances (+90%) Dorm essentials (+84%) Exercise equipment (+80%) Contributing: Paul Davidson and Betty Lin-Fisher, USA TODAY Mike Snider is a reporter on USA TODAY's Trending team.

I've found the Shein secret of the century – now you won't have to wait weeks for your deliveries ever again
A SHOPPING fan has claimed to have discovered the Shein 'secret of the century.' So if you are fed up with long delivery times when you order clothes from the online retailer, then fear not, you've come to the right place. 3 3 3 Natalie Southern, a fashionista from the UK, has found a very simple way that will enable Shein shoppers to get their affordable hauls delivered to their doors in less than a week. Posting on social media, the fashion fan revealed her 'life hack for the girlies' as she got candid on Shein 's Quickship feature. Stunned by her findings after browsing Shein's website, she said: 'Please tell me I'm not the only one who's just realised this on Shein - Quickship.' Natalie then added: 'Who knew that if you wanted your goods from Shein, there was a section where you can order from Quickship, where your goods come in a number of days rather than a number of weeks.' Following this, the content creator simply confirmed: 'I didn't.' Thanks to Shein Quickship, shoppers will see items be delivered to their door in as little as three to five working days. Shoppers will find a variety of items available under Quickship, including epic clearance deals, with clothes that have been reduced by up to 70%. Quickship comes at no extra cost to Shein shoppers - but of course, standard shipping fees apply - and there are thousands of great buys to browse and choose from. So if you've got an event coming up soon and don't have time to wait for a new frock, you'll need to check this out - and fast. Natalie's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ nat_albarudi_southern, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 157,900 views. Ugly side of fashion giant Shein revealed as retailer slammed by rivals for 'unfair tactics' to keep prices low It's also amassed 2,926 likes, 188 comments, 596 shares and 4,947 shares. Social media users were stunned by the little-known Shein feature and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Thank you for this video! God send.' Another added: 'Literally about to make an order!! Thank you, I had no clue this was a thing.' A third commented: 'Wish I knew this 15mins ago.' Meanwhile, one Shein shopper wrote: 'I'll be shopping even more now! I never knew this!' What is Shein and is it legit? Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world. The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M. The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu. Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam. But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews. There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag. At the same time, another Shein lover beamed: "I will be using that from now on as I order off Shein all the time." However, one user claimed: "Just had a look. Items are so much dearer." But to this, Natalie wrote back and confirmed: "But still cheaper than high street shops and I have to be honest, Shein's options are so much better than what I have on my local high street."
