Amazon said sales during its annual Prime Day event in the US are surging so far, even after a series of glitches crippled its site and app for many customers on Monday.

"Prime Day sales in the U.S. so far are bigger than ever – in fact, in the first ten hours Prime Day grew even faster, year-over-year, than the first ten hours last year," the company said in an emailed statement early Tuesday. As is typical for the company, it avoided reporting hard figures about Prime Day sales.
