With Amazon Prime Day creeping up on us, there are a number of retailers that killed it last year, none of which are named Amazon. Launching a barrage of competing sales on the same day or week as Prime Day 2015, these stores brought out deals that destroyed Amazon’s offerings. It’s likely they will continue to dominate the space this year, so be sure to check these four retailers starting early next week:

Microsoft Store

If you are in the market for a new laptop, be sure to check the Microsoft Store on July 11 and 12th. Last year, Microsoft dominated Amazon’s laptop prices. Most of Microsoft’s deals sold out within a few hours, so be sure to check early. Microsoft is also running their annual video game sale at the moment, ideal for anyone that wants to pick up discounted games for the Xbox One or 360.

Macy’s

During Prime Day 2015, Macy’s launched an aggressive clearance sale and free shipping site-wide on all orders, a promotion that was actually better than their Black Friday shipping deal. Many of the clearance deals were better than Amazon’s prices, ideal for anyone looking for sales on apparel, shoes, housewares and other home items.

Dell

Releasing an early preview of sales to consumers, Dell is sneaking out their deals on the 11th, prior to Prime Day. We are seeing a solid deal on an Inspiron desktop, roughly $50 less than the price has dropped before as well as a decent discount on a 15-inch laptop bringing the price under $250. Look for discounts on video game console bundles at Dell as well; a sale that’s become all too common during Black Friday.

NewEgg

During Prime Day 2015, Newegg’s deal offerings were scattered, but the retailer offered some killer deals on home theater gear and backpacks, all of which beat Amazon’s prices. Look for deals outside of the core tech products that Newegg is typically known for.

Bonus Tip: Avoid Walmart.com

Walmart’s online sales were even worse than Amazon during Prime Day 2015, despite attempting to garner attention by picking a fight with Amazon on the company blog. The majority of the sale prices matched existing deals in the clearance section; most of the “Rollbacks” were extremely insignificant.

4 Retailers Worth Checking on Prime Day That Aren’t Amazon

There’s realistically less than a week left to get your Christmas shopping done online. After that, you’re left to crazy-expensive express shipping and/or doing in-store pickup at Walmart (you were warned).

The deals this week were great — and while not at the same high level as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, they were still among the best of the year and give hope to all you procrastinators out there (yours truly included).

Judging by this week’s increased availability, expect to see more of the Xbox One in stock at stores like Best Buy and Amazon, as well as the currently hard-to-find PlayStation 4. Just don’t expect to find any deals on either of those sought-after gaming consoles.

Before we get to the best deals of the week that are still with us, let us reflect a moment on the superstars that have come and gone. Don’t forget to set up deal alerts on Ben’s Bargains so you don’t miss out on deals like these!
