The sale has been delayed for the third time this year and is now planned for October, according to Business Insider. In an email sent to third-party sellers, Amazon indicated October 5 is now the "placeholder" day for the event, while a later email said this date change would be the final one. Concerns over whether Amazon would have enough stock for Prime Day arose earlier this year, according to a New York Times report, as factories in China were shutting down.
