What is Amazon Prime Day? Is it different in Australia?
Prime Day is an annual online sales event, like Black Friday or Click Frenzy, but exclusive to Amazon Prime customers. It started as a one-day event in the US in 2015, but has since expanded to a two-day event that takes place across the globe, including Australia.
The first Prime Day Down Under happened in 2018, and has grown every year since. Australia is unique in that it gets one of the longest Prime “Days” in the world – this year’s event goes for a whopping 65 hours. This is because, while Prime Day technically only goes for 48 hours, Australian users get access to deals on the Amazon Global Store and Amazon.com.au until the conclusion of the event in the US.
Additionally, the Shop Local Businesses store features highlights a number of small Australian businesses that are also partaking in the Prime Day fun.
What will be on sale this Prime Day?
While it can be difficult to predict specific products that go on sale, Amazon has promised over 100,000 deals in Australia from big brands, small local brands, and everything in-between. The brands that Amazon has confirmed will be a part of Prime Day include include PlayStation, Apple, Samsung, Nintendo, Bose, and more – a pretty hefty list!
Expect deals across all categories, including tech, such as TVs, Smart Home, Headphones, Gaming, as well as homeware, sports, fashion, beauty and more.
How to find the best deals during Prime Day in Australia
Amazon is often the cheapest place to find a particular product in Australia, but the really good deals can sometimes be a bit elusive. Of course, our list above features some of the very best tech deals available during Prime Day. However, you can also properly prepare for the event to make sure you truly get the most out of it.
Before Prime Day kicks off, you should put together a shopping list of items that you are after, then ‘wishlist’ those products on Amazon and set deal alerts on the Amazon app. This will ensure you don’t miss top deals on products that you especially want.
Ensure you are subscribed to Amazon Prime, or else you won’t be able to secure the products for the Prime Day deal price. A subscription costs A$6.99 per month, but there is a 30-day free trial available if you are just looking to take part in Prime Day and nothing else.
It is also worth spending a bit of time on Amazon and familiarising yourself with its interface and how it works. This can save you time and hassle when the deals start dropping (many of which are only available for a limited time).
How to shop on Amazon Prime Day
Of course, we’ll be keeping track of all the best Prime Day deals we spot in the lists above. But if you are keen to trawl through some deals yourself, here’s how to best shop during the event.
-
Amazon app: If you’ll be out and about on Prime Day, download Amazon’s mobile apps, log in, and you’ll be ready to shop wherever you are.
-
Amazon Wishlist: Add items to your wishlist in the product interface to get alerted if it goes on sale.
-
Ask Alexa: Why move at all? The main idea behind Amazon’s Echo devices is to sell you stuff, so Alexa is more than willing to help you add things to your cart.
-
Amazon Global Store: Check out the best deals from the US and across the world on the Amazon Global Store.
-
Support Local: Amazon’s Shop Local Business initiative highlights deals curated from small Aussie businesses across Amazon.
