With Amazon Prime Day 2022 just around the corner, we’re getting you ready with an all-you-need-to-know guide on scoring the best steals and deals at this exclusive annual mega shopping festival. 

There’s simply no competition between Amazon Singapore and its Western counterpart. Amazon US has a bigger catalogue, cheaper prices, the Amazon-exclusive Alexa line, and every bookworm’s dream — the Kindle. While these prices and things tend to be available year-round, most savvy shopaholics will keep a lookout for Amazon Prime Day 2022 sale where you can get up to 70% off on fashion finds, and S$100 off on Amazon devices. So what are you waiting for? All you need is a forwarding US address which you can get from reliable US freight forwarders and you’re golden.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2022?

The dates have been set for 12 am on July 12 till 11.59 pm on July 13 — Singapore time.

You’ll first need a US address. While there are many US freight forwarders to choose from, comGateway stands out as one of the best for fast shipping and massive package insurance to protect your large Amazon hauls when Prime Day 2022 happens.

If you’re wondering how to navigate comGateway, we’ve got a step-by-step comGateway guide for you to follow.

Pro tip: Newly registered comGateway users get 20% off on their first shipment, so remember to sign up for an account before Prime Day.

2. Sign Up For an Amazon Prime Account

While Amazon Prime Day is only available to Amazon Prime users, you can sign up for the Prime membership and get a free, 30-day trial. Amazon does not discriminate if you’re on a trial account or on a Prime subscription; if your account is tagged as an Amazon Prime user, you’ll still get the privilege of shopping on Amazon Prime day.

3. Shop For Your Favourite Items on Amazon

Now that you have an Amazon Prime membership and a comGateway US address, all there’s left to do is to wait for Amazon Prime Day 2022. That doesn’t mean you have to wait until the day itself to do your shopping though! It’ll be too late by then. It’s best to find a list of items you like, add it to your wishlist or cart and then cross-check for better deals on the day itself.

This bears repeating: on the day itself, remember to check out and pay in US Dollars (USD) with your YouTrip card to utilise YouTrip’s Wholesale Exchange Rates for favourable USD exchange rates. You can also add your YouTrip card to your PayPal account and pay with the correct settings to enjoy YouTrip’s favourable rates!

4. Ship Your Amazon Prime Day 2022 Purchases to Singapore

Once your purchases have arrived at your US address, you have the option to avail comGateway’s other services. If you’ve shopped from multiple Amazon sellers, you can wait for all your packages to arrive and consolidate them into one shipment. Or, you can even ask their team to repack your items or combine them into one box to save big on your shipping fees.

As soon as you have shipped your packages, all you need to do is wait for three to five business days with Express shipping or six to eight business days with Standard shipping for your Amazon Prime purchases to arrive at your doorstep.
