mazon Prime Day did not kick off on the right foot.

Multiple Amazon customers expressed concern after Amazons mobile app failed to launch the savings deals at 3 p.m. EDT (1 p.m. MDT).

Shoppers reported multiple errors with Amazons website.

Twitter users shared their dismay online, expressing anger they couldnt check out the 36-hour sale on Amazon through their mobile apps and desktop.











































However, according to TechCrunch, visiting smile.amazon.com will help you work around the bug and finally see the Prime Day deals.

According to CNBC, Amazons shares fell off due to the companys rocky start. The stock jumped 1.5 percent to an all-time high of $1,841.95 per share before losing all those percentage points after the outage.

Experts said Amazon could collect more than $3.4 billion in sales alone.

However, as I wrote for the Deseret News, critics expressed to customers that Prime Day might not be the best day to snag a deal on Amazon. In fact, customers can find big-ticket items for lower prices throughout the year.
