Prime members purchased millions of Alexa-enabled devices, and the Ring Battery Doorbell and Fire TV Stick HD were two of the event's best-selling items. The savings didn't stop there—Prime members stocked up on grocery deals like 50% off all ice cream and frozen desserts at Whole Foods Market and $30 off purchases of $150 or more across all Amazon Fresh selection, including fresh produce and other perishable items.
This year's Prime Day experience was enhanced by Alexa+—Amazon's next-generation personal assistant now available in Early Access to millions of customers—along with the AI-powered shopping assistant, Rufus, and AI Shopping Guides. These features helped customers easily discover deals and get product information, complementing the fast, free delivery that Prime members enjoy year-round.

"We're thrilled to see record savings for our customers, who found great prices on the everyday essentials and products they love. This event wouldn't be possible without the dedication of our employees, delivery partners, vendors, and sellers who worked tirelessly to serve our customers. Their efforts made this our biggest Prime Day yet, and I'm grateful for their contributions."
Independent sellers—most of which are small and medium-sized businesses—also achieved record sales and a record number of items sold. 'Prime Day 2025 was our most successful Amazon shopping event since launching our store in 2019,' said Anne Maza, co-owner of the small business Olivia Garden. 'We saw impressive sales not just on our Prime exclusive deals but across our entire catalog.

Starbucks takes aim at remote work, says some employees may need to relocate to headquarters
The Starbucks mermaid logo is displayed at the company's corporate headquarters in Seattle on April 26, 2021. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren, File) Starbucks is requiring some remote workers to return to its headquarters and increasing the number of days that corporate employees are required to work in an office. In a letter to employees posted on Monday, Starbucks Chairman and CEO Brian Niccol said corporate employees would need to be in the office four days a week starting in early October instead of three days a week. The Seattle-based company said that all corporate 'people leaders' must be based in either Seattle or Toronto within 12 months. That is a change from February, when it required vice presidents to relocate to Seattle or Toronto. Starbucks said individual employees working under those leaders would not be asked to relocate. But the company said all hiring for future roles and lateral moves will require employees to be based in Seattle or Toronto. 'We are reestablishing our in-office culture because we do our best work when we're together. We share ideas more effectively, creatively solve hard problems, and move much faster,' Niccol wrote in the letter. Niccol said affected workers who choose not to relocate will be eligible for a one-time voluntary exit program with a cash payment. While many workers grew to enjoy working from home during the pandemic, the call for workers to return to offices full-time has been growing over the past year. Major employers such as Amazon, AT&T and the federal government have required employees to work in company sites five days per week. Competition for fully-remote jobs is fierce. Starbucks spokeswoman Lori Torgerson said she didn't have a count of employees who are currently working as 'people leaders' or are working remotely. Starbucks has 16,000 corporate support employees worldwide, but that includes coffee roasters and warehouse staff. Niccol was not required to relocate to Seattle when he was hired to lead Starbucks last August. Instead, the company said it would help him set up an office near his home in Newport Beach, California, and would give him the use of a corporate jet to commute to Seattle. Since then, Niccol has bought a home in Seattle and is frequently seen at the company's headquarters, Torgerson said. ___ AP Business Writer Cathy Bussewitz contributed from New York.

Trump's pivot on Ukraine shows he's unwilling to put maximum pressure on Putin
As Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office on Monday and announced that NATO would be buying U.S. weapons and shipping them to Kyiv, it was a major pivot for the U.S. president and for an administration that just two weeks ago halted the supply of some military hardware, including air defence missiles which were already en route to Ukraine. But while it was a sign that Trump has grown frustrated by Vladimir Putin's recalcitrance, the announcement was also a signal that Trump is unwilling to go all-in to pressure Russia's president. Instead of immediately hitting Moscow's trading partners with secondary sanctions, he offered the Kremlin a 50-day deadline to agree to a ceasefire. Before his televised appearance alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump teased the announcement as "major." Afterwards, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed gratitude, while Russian investors appeared relieved, as the stock market rose. Escalated attacks Trump's announcement included broad statements, and scant details. He said that billions of dollars in weaponry would be sent, including Patriot missile defence systems, but there was no talk publicly about sending longer range cruise missiles, like Lockheed Martin's JASSMs, which have a range of about 370 kilometres. He said that if the Kremlin doesn't agree to a deal within 50 days, he would roll out those secondary sanctions against Russia's trading partners, and impose a 100 per cent tariff on all Russian goods that enter the U.S. "Militarily it looks like [this deal] is useful, but without the detail, it's hard to know if it radically changes anything," said Matthew Saville, director of military sciences at the London-based Royal United Services Institute. " On sanctions, on tariffs, [Trump] is talking about another 50 days. Putin will use at least 49 of those days to continue to keep attacking Ukraine." Russia has escalated its air attacks on Ukrainian cities, particularly Kyiv, where metro stations and shelters, which have been relatively empty throughout much of the war, are now crowded nightly during Russian barrages. The Patriot system is designed to take down cruise and ballistic missiles, but with each interceptor missile costing roughly $4 million US, Saville says it is "wildly uneconomical" to use them to shoot down drones that cost tens of thousands of dollars. Hundreds of enemy drones Instead, when Moscow launches hundreds of Shahed and Geran drones, Kyiv uses small arms and other domestically produced drones to try to bring them down. Saville says Ukraine's interception rate is normally 85 per cent. But with so many being launched nightly, dozens of drones have been able to get through. On the streets of Kyiv Monday afternoon, some were cautiously optimistic after hearing the announcement, but many were skeptical of Trump who has given Putin deadlines before. "I really hope that these 50 days… will finally be real pressure on Russia.," said Denys Podilchuk, 39, in an interview with Reuters. "The fact they are giving Patriots is very good because sitting at night... in the hallways and fearing for your child is not good," said Olena Karpushyna. Trump's shift in tone In recent days, Trump's growing frustration toward Putin was evident by his blunt language. He accused the Russian president of spewing "bullsh-t," saying later that Putin "talks nice and then bombs everybody in the evening." On Monday, while Trump said he was disappointed in Putin and thought there would had been a deal two months ago, he chose his words carefully and didn't lambaste him. "I don't want to say he's an assassin, but he's a tough guy, " he said, adding that Russia is "potentially such a great country." While there was no immediate reaction from the Kremlin, Putin has shown no willingness to cede any of his original goals, demanding that peace come on his terms. Putin has demanded that Ukraine withdraw its forces from Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia — the four Ukrainian regions which Russia has laid claim to — and be blocked from ever joining NATO. Alexander Dugin, a Russian philosopher and ultra-nationalist, said on Telegram that Trump's 50-day deadline means that Moscow has a limited window for the "final liberation" of the four regions, and also "preferably Kyiv." "We have 50 days to finish everything that we haven't finished," he wrote, saying that Trump's threat to impose secondary sanctions on countries that import Russian energy products, like India and China, is serious. Both countries are major importers of Russian oil, but even the E.U. still relies on Russian gas, which made up 19 per cent of its imports last year. A bipartisan group of U.S. senators who have been pushing forward a secondary sanctions bill have been lobbying for a much higher tariff rate of 500 per cent. Trump gave almost no details about how the sanctions would work and was vague when a reporter asked why he wasn't going with the senators' recommendations. Sitting beside Trump throughout the 35-minute news conference, Rutte praised Trump's decision, saying this arrangement allows Europe "to step up" and support Ukraine by purchasing the American weaponry. James Black, the deputy director at Rand Europe, a global policy think-tank, said that while European countries have been able to collectively provide more aid than Washington to Ukraine, the U.S provides "many of the most sophisticated and hard-to-replicate military technologies." Throughout his announcement, Trump repeatedly boasted that the U.S. makes "the best of everything," but he was clear that it wouldn't be Washington paying for the weapons. In a bid to assuage some of his supporters who don't want to see tax dollars going to a foreign war, he was adamant that other NATO countries would be paying.
