Amazon Prime Day dealsare just hours away, with some of the best discounts dropping at midnight tonight. WithWalmart Prime Day,Target Deal Days, andBest Buy early Black Fridaysales all arriving this week, we’re seeing more discounts in October than ever before.

But do you really want to get your holiday shopping in right now, or is it better to wait untilBlack FridayandCyber Monday? Here are some of the reasons why you may not want to wait to start browsing discounts untilWalmart’s Black Fridayand other retailers’ deals.

You don’t have to worry about shipping dates

One of the greatest downfalls of the procrastinating shopper is that not everything on Amazon ships in two days. On top of that, the craziness of the holiday season can result in package mix-ups and delays that leave you without the gifts you ordered by the time Christmas day arrives.

Considering how 2020 has been and the fact that Amazon has already delayed Prime Day multiple times for shipping concerns, it makes sense to buy early. The main reason this sale is happening before Black Friday is to attempt to spread out all of those deliveries across multiple months.

You don’t have to worry about retailers running out of stock

With more people ordering products online than ever before, it’s highly likely that the hottest items are going to sell out. We’ve seen this in previous years whereNintendo Switch salesandAirPod dealssuddenly disappear and people end up having to actually paymorethan retail price just to get them in time.

While this could still happen with Prime Day sales this year, it seems less likely that everything is going to sell out before Halloween. And hey, if it does, you still have a chance to find another discount when Black Friday deals roll around.

You can actually enjoy your holiday season for once

Black Friday has been slowly taking over all of November for the past few years, passing over Thanksgiving like its nothing. With the year we’ve had so far and the stress of the upcoming election, wouldn’t it be nice to take something off your plate?

One of the greatest benefits of Prime Day deals is that they offer a chance for consumers to save money and get their shopping done early — something you could never do before. So go ahead, get your shopping on now and enjoy your holiday season without worrying about finding thebest giftsin time for everyone.

You can save money on things you need for yourself

Black Friday’s proximity to Christmas isn’t something you’re able to ignore. If you’re shopping in late November, chances are pretty good that you’re attempting to buy gifts for others rather than things for yourself. Amazon Prime Day deals give you a chance to do both.
