Amazon Prime Day: How to shop from Argentina and the best deals from the biggest online discount event

Once a year, Amazon launches its event The biggest and most anticipated deals : Prime Day , four days in which technology, fashion, home and entertainment products are available at significant discounts , exclusively for those who have an Amazon Prime account.

Although it began as an internal celebration for the company, it has become a kind of "exclusive Black Friday" for millions of users around the world.

This 2025, Prime Day is celebrated from July 8 to 11 , and although it is designed for consumers in central markets such as the United States or Europe, it can also be taken advantage of from Argentina with some planning, both directly and using alternative services such as Grabr , an app that connects local buyers with international travelers.

For those looking to upgrade their devices or acquire cutting-edge technology, most of which is difficult to find in the country, Prime Day is a key date in the global e-commerce calendar—and Argentine users can also take part in this showcase of attractive digital offers.

The platform created by Jeff Bezos , a rival to Mercado Libre in the region, is known for offering flash discounts on thousands of products, with promotions that last only a few hours or while supplies last . To access it, you need an active Amazon Prime account (which can be activated with a free trial ) and keep an eye out for offers on the website or app.

According to Amazon data, more than 375 million products were sold worldwide during Prime Day in 2024. The most searched categories were technology, consumer electronics, smart home devices, fashion, beauty, and toys. Many brands choose this event to launch products or hold seasonal sales .

This year, the Apple MacBook Air M1 (2020) notebook stands out: still valid for those looking to enter the Apple product ecosystem, with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD, at USD 599.99 at Walmart.

In terms of image quality, the 65-inch Samsung S85D OLED TV boasts outstanding picture quality, four HDMI 2.1 ports, and a 120Hz refresh rate. It's now available for purchase for about $300 off its original price.

A great companion for watching TV shows and movies is the Vizio Elevate SE 5.1.2 soundbar with Dolby Atmos audio technology. It costs USD 299 during Prime Day (USD 200 off), and offers surround sound and auto-rotate.

The Beats Studio Buds Plus WF-C710N wireless earphones dazzle with their semi-transparent design. They're available until July 11th at their lowest price ever: US$78 ($41 off). They offer noise cancellation, good battery life, auto-pause, and touch controls.

Also on the sale list is a rechargeable electric screwdriver from Hoto, highly rated by users and experts on the e-commerce platform. During this discount period, it costs USD 36.99, compared to its regular price of around USD 79.99. The set comes with 25 interchangeable bits and even a case.

The user must create an account on Amazon.com or Amazon Mexico.

Once you've activated your free Amazon Prime trial —if you've never used it—you can also opt for a subscription to the service, which costs $14.99 per month. In addition to free shipping , it includes access to the Prime Video series and movie platform .

Then you'll need to configure the shipping address in Argentina.

Amazon offers free international shipping on orders over $99 that include one or more select items, so you'll need to select that option.

When checking your shopping cart, if the total exceeds USD 99 and all products qualify, the benefit is automatically applied.

Just keep in mind that, regardless of free shipping, international purchases are subject to taxes in Argentina . VAT (21%) applies to all purchases, and if the purchase value exceeds $400 USD, import duties will be applied to the excess.

At checkout, before paying for your purchase, the “AmazonGlobal FREE Shipping” option will be preselected.

Argentines who shop on Prime Day should keep in mind that they can bring in up to US$3,000 per shipment , up to three units of the same product, and up to five shipments per year.
