The first day of the sales on Amazon ended on a success. For this second day of operation, the trading platform is coming back even stronger, to outrun all its rivals even more. Cdiscount, Fnac, Darty and Boulanger maintain an excellent pace, which benefits customers. Below, our guide to offers not to be missed this Thursday.
Last update: Thursday July 16, 8:00 a.m.
As always every day during the sales, Amazon delights with new ephemeral offers. At the same time, he is advancing promotions all the way down to the thousands. In the end, you can therefore find your happiness without difficulty and above all at a lower cost. That said, the risk is to see the products go before you can even buy them. This has been the case for many references since the start of the sales yesterday morning.
For this new episode of sales, Amazon sets the bar very high. It must be said that the merchant was forced to delay his famous Prime Day to an undefined later date due to the Covid-19. It is therefore catching up this year on the summer sales to explode volumes with generous offers. This also concerns the biggest brands, which you don’t necessarily see in the competition.
Amazon, the undisputed champion of this sale?
If the sales are a Franco-French operation, Amazon has decided to come and play spoilsports. While the platform has long favored American operations (such as Black Friday, Cyber ​​Monday or Prime Day), it adapts to the French merchant calendar. Last May, she was already very active in French Days, an event imagined to counter… Amazon.
That said, it would be wrong to say that the sales come down to Amazon. Indeed, there are some very beautiful French players who are positioning themselves very well. Cdiscount, Fnac, Darty and Boulanger are very solid this year. They too are keen to rebound after a very complicated quarter. And to say the least, it’s that they do it very well with very aggressive promotions.
Depending on the type of product and the theme chosen, some merchants are better than others. Earlier on this page, we listed the most popular deals. A large part of them targets new technologies. That said, Amazon, Cdiscount or Fnac Darty are very general players. You have it for everyone, without exception.
You will have to be patient enough to look at all the platforms and all the products. This is all the more the case as all the themes are put forward for the sales on Amazon and others. Thus, it goes from DIY through beauty, health, music, childcare or video games. If you have hours ahead of you this Thursday, you can find great opportunities.

Where to have the best deals this Thursday?
Once again, the sales periods pass and are similar. It is in the early days that the opportunities are most serious. It is not because there are additional markdowns over time that the deals are interesting. The longer the offers stay online, the more this means that they have trouble finding a taker. The best promotions are always available this Thursday and maybe maximum until this weekend.
You should know that the sales on Amazon are much shorter than in recent years. The French government has decided to shorten them to improve the quality of promotions and force ogres in e-commerce to raise the bar. They thus have fewer markdowns, and this forces them to display the best prices from the first days. And to say the least, it is that Amazon, Cdiscount, Fnac or Darty have fully played the game this year.
It must be said that everyone was on edge, and that the health and economic crisis has cut everyone’s margins. Nobody came out of it unscathed, like Amazon, which had problems with its warehouses, or Fnac Darty, who had to call on state aid. It is for this reason that they have put the package for these sales: Amazon is ahead, but the others are close.
The ideal conditions for buying at sales
To operate a merchant site in France, you must know how to comply with French law. In this case, all e-commerce sites must offer a period of 14 days minimum for customers to return their jacket. This is also the case during the sales: Amazon, Cdiscount, Fnac or Darty must also respect this rule. If French merchants are satisfied with it, Amazon goes even further. It offers its customers up to 30 days of trial to convince itself of its purchase.
At any time, if the customer no longer wants what he bought on sale on Amazon, he can return it. Obviously, the product must still be like new, otherwise the merchant will not take it back. You must therefore be very careful not to damage it before returning it. You will therefore not be able to wear shoes for a day and then return them damaged.
That said, this trial period offers a real safety net for sales on Amazon. If you bought too quickly because of fear of losing the deal, you can always send it back. Amazon then undertakes to reimburse you quickly and securely. The number one merchant in France knows how to do it, the procedure to return the product is really very simplified.
