Nelly may not have been referencing the British summertime when he famously declared “It’s gettin’ hot in herre” in his earworm track, but the same applies.
As a nation, we are incredibly unprepared for elevated temperatures, or really any extreme weather - but especially when it comes to the summer. Unlike our friends across the Atlantic, air conditioning units are not commonplace in the UK and can be costly and challenging to install.
You can’t beat the power of a fan, breathing life and air onto your face during the height of the heat. Sleepless nights will be nothing but a fever dream of pre-fan life, replaced instead with eight solid hours of comfortable, uninterrupted slumber that you can boast about on your next office day.
There’s just one problem; the cost.
The best fans, you know the ones that do more than simply circulate hot air around the room, don’t always come cheap. So that’s why you’ll be relieved to hear that Amazon Prime Day is here.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
What began as a one-day sales event that has grown and grown in size, Amazon Prime Day is one of the online retailing giant’s biggest sales of the year - topping Black Friday, according to the brand. Amazon teased us back in March with its Spring Sale but Prime Day still tops the bill with huge reductions off a whole host of covetable items.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2023?
The dates are in; Amazon Prime Day 2023 will take place on July 11 and 12.
How to take part in Amazon Prime Day
There is just one catch for Prime Day and the clue is very much in the name. You can only access the sales if you subscribe to the retailer’s Prime membership. This costs £8.99 a month, £95 a year or the reduced cost of £4.49 for students or £47.49 per year. Not only does this get you the famed next day delivery (and even same day depending on your postcode) but also Prime Video, audiobooks, Amazon Music, grocery delivery and much more. Try before you commit with the 30-day free trial.
