Amazon crashed in the first few minutes of its biggest shopping day of the year
- Amazon's website briefly crashed at the start of Prime Day in the US.
- Prime Day is one of Amazon's most important days of the year, when it hosts Black Friday-like deals in the middle of July.
Looks like Amazon wasn't primed for Prime Day this year.
Customers are reporting the retailer's website is experiencing issues exactly the same time as the deals are scheduled to start in the US, with the site being down or links not responding.
