Amazon Prime Day docking station deals: what to expect
Show more
Our pre–Prime Day research on the docking station business has revealed a volatile and unpredictable market where big brands compete against underdog newcomers. It also means that pricing jumps up and down frequently.
Take our favorite Dell D3100, for instance, which has risen, fallen and then risen again in price over the last few months. Our other editorial pick, the Baseus, has jumped all over the place recently – right now it's historically quite expensive if it wasn't for its 15% coupon, but a while back it dropped to less than $40.
It's a common pattern. The affordable Hiearcool has recently seen its price vary by around 20%, and the Anker, Mkighub and Plugable desktop dock have all proved similarly volatile. If you read this and worry that you won't find many Prime Day docking station deals, don't worry. More affordable and volatile products like this often receive discounts on Prime Day itself, even if price drops can't be seen in the weeks beforehand. Four of the ten products we've featured can also be reduced further with coupons.
Our advice? Check for coupons and install a browser extension like Keepa or using a website like CamelCamelCamel to check if your chosen product really is at a historically low price. If not, it's worth looking elsewhere, because many other retailers also offer discounts at the same time as Prime Day.
Get beyond the price drops and it's time to evaluate the products themselves. Before committing to a docking station or USB hub, pay close attention to what connections you need – and what connections each dock has available.
Different products have varying speeds and abilities across their USB ports, others have faster SD card slots, and some will handle higher-resolution displays at faster refresh rates, while some more affordable products can only run displays at a sluggish 30Hz.
You'll want to pay keen attention here, because docking station product pages tend to be littered with jargon and specifications, and you don't want to spend money on a product that's not fit for purpose.
If you're unsure, we recommend delving into the product details, heading to official websites and exploring Amazon's Q&A sections, where eager customers have probably already asked the manufacturers to clarify your queries.

Will I need an Amazon Prime subscription to get Prime Day docking station deals?
You'll always need an Amazon Prime description to take advantage of the best Prime Day discounts, but if you're not a subscriber it's never been easier – if you haven't signed up within the past year, you can get a free thirty-day trial. Grab that, save money and cancel it afterwards and you'll be good to go.
How do I become an Amazon Prime member?
You need to be an Amazon Prime member in order to get access to Prime Day deals, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 for a year. It used to be $12.99 per month or $119 per year but there was a price hike last year.
However, new subscribers can take advantage of the 30-day Amazon Prime free trial to buy the deals. You can only use this if you've never been a member before, so it won't be available if you've used it already or if you've signed up for Amazon Prime in the past.
While on the free trial, you get all the other membership benefits including free shipping, access to Prime Video and much more. Do read our Amazon Prime review for full coverage of what you get as part of a membership. That can help you decide if you want to cancel Amazon Prime once your free trial has ended to avoid being charged the monthly fee.
Which docking stations are discounted on Prime Day?
The docking station market is a mix of familiar brands and unusual manufacturers and many of the mainstream products featured here are extremely affordable – so there's plenty of competition. On Prime Day, expect larger discounts on less familiar products while known names and pricier options retain their value with higher prices and smaller reductions.
