Home / News Amazon Prime Day off to a glitchy start Prime Day shoppers were disappointed as site glitches kept them from the deals. By Heather Marcoux July 16, 2018 Rectangle Amazon shoppers were anxiously awaiting the countdown to Amazon Prime Day, but when the clock struck one, er three, the website went down. On Monday afternoon shoppers were trying to get their hands on the much-hyped Prime Day deals but instead of low prices, many users just saw 404 errors, continuously refreshing pages, or had issues keeping or adding items to their shopping carts. CNBC reports shares of Amazon were down during the shopping glitch, and many shoppers took to Twitter and Instagram to discuss how all they could see on Amazon were the dogs who decorate the site’s 404 pages. @amazon Me and everyone else trying to shop #AmazonPrimeDay https://t.co/AjAVvZMLLq— Jacque Gonzales (@JacqueGonzales) 1531768601.0 As cute as the dogs are, shoppers are getting tired of seeing them, so hopefully, Amazon gets things back up and running soon. Analysts had projected Amazon would rake in $3 billion dollars this Prime Day. Time will tell how much of that was lost during the great dog picture debacle of 2018.
