What is Prime Early Access?
This is a two-day event available exclusively to Prime members in Canada. Not a member? Joining is quick and easy with a short trial period.
What’s on sale?
The deals are steep and varied, with everything from rice cookers to Polly Pockets to blow dryers to Yeti tumblers available at a discount. It’s a mix of Prime Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Boxing Day deals all rolled into one.
How long will it last?
The best deals often sell out (there is limited stock) and the dates (Oct. 11-12) are set. This is a two-day-only sale and unlikely to be extended. In other words, clear your cart before time is up.
