Amazon India's Big Diwali Sale and Other Tech Deals of the Week

02:17AM Mon 13 Oct, 2014

Amazon is going to run a massive flash sale for the next one week. Amazon's Diwali Dhamaka sale will run from October 10 till October 16. The sale comprises of Amazon's traditional Lightning Deals, but with better prices and more products than usual. The deals will run from 7 am to 6 pm during the sale period. Amazon will display upcoming Lightning Deals, so if you're planning on grabbing one, make sure you're in front of a computer or a smartphone by the time it goes live. Here are a few tips you could use: 1. Lightning Deals always have a limited stock. Make sure you're on the web page at least a few minutes ahead of the deal's timing. Hit the Add to cart button the moment the deal goes live. 2. If a product appears "100% claimed", join the waitlist if you're really serious about buying it. People are supposed to checkout within 14 minutes, and if they don't the deal gets passed on to the next person in the queue. 3. Almost all Lightning Deals are Amazon Fulfilled listings, so don't worry about return policies, or shipping timelines. 4. The sales will get better during the weekend.   Items worth looking out for during the Amazon Diwali Dhamaka Sale: Microsoft Xbox One, Kindle readers, laptops, smartphones, wireless routers, headphones and speakers.   NDTV
