Amazon Prime Day is the e-retail giant's annual shopping fest that is exclusive to the Prime subscribers. This year's Prime Day sale event, which is going to be the longest ever, is all set to kick off from Monday, July 15. The global shopping event will run for 48 hours across 18 countries exclusively for Amazon's Prime subscribers. Prime membership allows Amazon customers to enjoy free benefits like priority shipping and access to a host of Amazon services. The benefits vary from country to country. This year, Amazon is promising more deals, exclusive launches, and much more during its Prime Day 2019 sale event.
Let's take a look at what Amazon is offering in different countries during its Prime Day 2019 sale:
Australia will be the first to access Prime Day 2019, thanks to the difference in time zones.

In China, Prime members will be able to shop goods from the United States, Britain, Japan, and Germany via the Amazon Overseas program. Apart from thousands of local deals, Prime members in China will enjoy deals on products from 20 international companies including Philips, Western Digital, and others.
Other countries, including India and UAE, where Amazon's Global Store is available are also expected to receive promotional discounts and offers during the Prime Day 2019 sale this year.

Each of the 18 countries will experience thousands of deals and offers during the 48-hour Prime Day 2019 sale event. While these deals and offers will vary from country to country, the most commonly shared deals will include discounts on electronics, Amazon products, daily essentials, fashion, and other categories.
Amazon's own devices and digital services will be available at discounted prices during the Prime Day 2019 sale. Prime members will be able to grab Echo speakers, Fire TV, Amazon Basics products at attractive prices. In some countries like France and the UK, Amazon will also offer discounts on its digital services including Amazon Music and Kindle Unlimited.
Nearly all countries participating in the Amazon Prime Day 2019 sale event will receive deals on smartphones, consumer electronics products, home appliances, big-screen TVs, toys, books, and a lot more during the two-day sale. The deals will consist of regular discounts and well as limited-period Lightning Deals.
In case Amazon offers its Global Store or Amazon Overseas program in your country, you can directly buy products from Amazon's online marketplace in your country.
But in case you spot a great deal on another country's Amazon marketplace, you'll have to find a workaround. Amazon ships some products internationally, especially from its US marketplace, but you'll have to factor in shipping and import duties. You can also use a third-party courier service to get your product shipped directly in your country.
