You can shop Amazon US Prime Day deals even if you're in the UK
Amazon Prime Day has less than 24 hours to go as the retail giant continues to reduce thousands of items ranging from TVs to air fryers.
The two-day sale is one of the biggest sales event of the year for Amazon but not every deal is available for the average UK shopper. Amazon is a US company and, just like Black Friday, the sale event originally began in the US.
The US Amazon Prime Day sale has big discounts on Dyson vacuum cleaners and air purifiers, which are not discounted on the UK version. Other deals include beauty products you can only buy in the US and technology from the likes of Samsung and Sony.
Amazon's US site is also holding a Prime Day sale with massive discounts and a shipping trick allows UK customers to shop the best deals on Amazon US even if they are not available to ship to the UK directly.
To be able to shop on the Amazon US sale you will need to sign up for a ReShip account, which allows you to 'ship' to a US address. Once the item is sent by Amazon ReShip will deliver to a UK address, meaning you can get the items imported. The only extra cost is any import duty on your shopping.

When shopping with the shipping company you will be provided with three physical addresses: one in the UK, one in Canada and one in the USA. Once you are done buying from Amazon USA in UK, you simply enter your virtual USA address in the shipping box instead of your physical home address.
Your USA address will look like this:
YOUR NAME
13820 NE Airport Way
Suite K###### (followed by numbers: 000000)
Portland, OR 97251-1158
USA
When your order from Amazon USA arrives at your USA address, ReShip will notify you. You will then have the option of selecting shipment to you from a list of our trusted parcel shipping companies at a discounted rate or wait. If you choose to wait, you will be given 60 days of free storage, allowing you to continue to shop and not be rushed.
Once you are ready to ship, you can choose to consolidate your shopping for a small fee. This means that all your multiple parcels will be condensed into one package, saving you on hundreds of pounds on international shipping fee which makes buying from Amazon USA in UK so easy.
