    title should be Amazon Prime AUSTRALIA Day(s) July 15 + 16th 2019

  • CyberMurning on 01/07/2019 - 11:06

    I'm hoping the deals are going to be better than those in this OP! QC35 ii is already near enough😂 Coke at 56c a can is meh. PS4 Pro was alright but how many can take advantage :\

      I'm banking in a cheap high-end console.

      I wonder how long before someone posts this as a bargain without any items listed.

      • infinite on 15/07/2019 - 06:20

        "high-end console"

        No such thing, unfortunately.

    • giventofly on 16/07/2019 - 15:11

      Got my PS4 Pro from Amazon during the last sales. Love it (and especially loving Detroit Become Human)

    AMD Ryzen 3700X with X570 motherboard thank you please Amazon prime with my free trial i've never used.

    I dont think these items will be on sale let alone at a reduced price but here's hoping.. :)

    Maybe all sold out by then though. as things move quick in the first week of a new product launch. 7th of the 7th 2019 cant come soon enough.

    I'm upgrading from an i3 6100T dual core :)

    • [Deactivated] on 14/07/2019 - 21:31

      They don't even have those on sale at all.

      Edit: They didn't now they do. Could be a good sign.

        They promised a release "this year". We still have no idea on the price premium. But as a reference point might not be such a jump (considering the ASUS RT-AX92U 2 pack is the first and priced at $659).

        • BuDWiZe on 15/07/2019 - 07:47

          Rbk50 is ace and it will be a while before your other gear will even use wifi 6

          • hey aj on 15/07/2019 - 11:24

            @BuDWiZe: So I just had a quick look, is this the gold standard for ensuring optimal wireless coverage and speed across a multi story building? I would hope so for $487.

              Other good option is Google mesh

  • Sophile1986 on 12/07/2019 - 12:38

    During Prime day, it would has a lot deals on Amazon AU.

  • donkcat on 12/07/2019 - 19:58

    Can we expect store wide savings on Prime day or is it just select bargain deals?

    • CyberMurning on 12/07/2019 - 20:15

      My bet is selected…..

    • asubtleviolence on 13/07/2019 - 00:04

      Probably time and/or quantity-limited deals throughout the two days.

    • bargain ben on 14/07/2019 - 22:51

      Selected

  • ChocolateTown on 13/07/2019 - 09:24

    I’m looking at the X1 Carbons gen6, but I’m having trouble finding the HDR versions in Amazon :( it’s 20kh006tau I believe, but it’s hard to tell from the descriptions. I’m not 100% sure that the WQHD is necessarily also HDR, but I do believe that the HDR cannot be touch.

    What I want at the very lowest price possible:
    Gen5/6/7 (refurbed is fine as long as reputable and there is warranty)
    I7-8xxxx
    16gb
    500SSD preferable, but could live easily with 256gb
    WWAN would be nice but not necessity.

    What is different between 20KH006TAU and 20KHCTO1WW?? These are confusing me.

    Also I see there is one Amazon seller with only one feedback rating… I can’t figure out how to find out more info about the seller here? I haven’t used Amazon much in ten years so I’m out of date.

    • bender000 on 13/07/2019 - 15:00

      Dude for something that expensive I would not risk it unless it was the official Lenovo store or at least official Lenovo store on ebay etc.
      They've had quite tasty discounts all through June anyway and you'd be regularly able to get 10-20% off if you're patient

      EDIT well if you want cheap you should look at second hand…

      • ChocolateTown on 14/07/2019 - 10:28

        What are some red flags I should look out for on Amazon?

        I’ve been looking at second hand and I don’t necessarily have an issue with those as long as they’ve got warranty, but with a small margin between used and new with discounts I’d probably rather have peace of mind with new… as long as the purchase is legit

    As per Lifehacker:

    Today, Amazon Australia has leaked some of the deals early to give Aussie Prime members an idea of the type of deals that will be available. Here are the highlights!

    Discounts of up to 50% on select Amazon Devices including the Echo Dot and the Amazon Echo (2nd Gen).
    Discounts of up to 50% on some fashion brands including Adidas, Calvin Klein, Lorna Jane and Australian shoe brand, Wild Rhino.
    Discounts of at least 25% on select headphones from brands including Bose, Sennheiser and SoundPEATS.
    Discounts of at least 25% on select Home and Kitchen Products from brands including Le Creuset, DeLonghi and Joseph Joseph.
    Discounts of up to 25% on select laptops on brands including Acer and Asus.
    Discounts of up to 30% on select toys from Nerf, Barbie, LEGO, Fisher-Price, Toy Story 4 and more.

    I'm sure they're keeping the best deals under wrap, guessing QC35 II will be sub $300 again.

    • brokeunistudent on 14/07/2019 - 10:24

    So im assuming have to wait up till minute to see anything

  • ThePotato on 14/07/2019 - 19:25

    Does anyone know if its possible to get digital debit/credit cards to use via Amazon?

    Im waiting on a replacement card from my bank (new card number etc) and the only funds i have available to use are in PayPal - didn't realise Amazon didn't accept PayPal.

    Or should i write myself out of a prime deal this time round?

      • ThePotato on 14/07/2019 - 19:32

        Ahh well.

        I'll keep an eye on it but the only thing i really had my heart set on and bought last year was a PS4 Pro for $380.

    • Bad Wolf on 14/07/2019 - 20:28

      How amazons payment when preparing for shipping might work to your advantage.

      You should be able to purchase an item, then when you ‘old’ credit card number declines, they’ll send you an email asking for an updated payment method, I think you get 5? days to provide it after which they’ll cancel the order

      • ThePotato on 14/07/2019 - 21:07

        Oh nice, hopefully it gives me that option!

    • bargain ben on 14/07/2019 - 22:50

      Do you have Apple Pay? Activate your new card to work on that!

    • Seedy seed on 15/07/2019 - 08:26

      There was a guy a year or so ago who did exactly that nd he posted on ozb about his virtual card thing.

  • Donatello on 14/07/2019 - 21:01

    Amazon AU Black Friday November 2018 was good. By that, (I am hoping) there should be (some) good bargains.

  • Donatello on 14/07/2019 - 21:02

    Hopefully there will also be some good deals on the Amazon US site.

    • CyberMurning on 14/07/2019 - 21:06

        plenty of back catalog for my kids, 3 kids x $99 2DS each or 1x switch lite for the same price, gonna go the 2DS if I can do $300 or under.

  • heal on 15/07/2019 - 09:40

    A bit underwhelmed so far. Hoping for a decent Xbox One S deal. Do they just drop the deals in randomly or is what is on the website all they are offering for the two day sale?

    Also looking at buying a SanDisk Clip Plus Sport MP3 player. Yesterday they were $79 except the black one which was $20 dearer. I did a Prime Deal search and saw that they had reduced the black one to the same price as the other colours. Also looking at the JBL Flip 4. I can get it cheaper elsewhere.

  • hey aj on 15/07/2019 - 11:27

    OK so someone let me know if this is a thing.

    As Australian Amazon Prime members they are giving us free expedited shipping from the U.S during the two days of the sale.
    Will this mean we should wait for the U.S to launch their Amazon Prime sale and will there be better deals on products worth getting with the free shipping?

    Appreciate if anyone has information, and also when does the U.S go "live" on there sale (in EAST)?

    • jimbobaus on 15/07/2019 - 11:33
      +4

      US prime day is from 3am PDT which is 8pm AEST our time today.
      The free shipping from US is only on things SOLD BY AMAZON and generally from my exp a LOT of stuff sold during prime day is sold by the brands themselves , Netgear, ASUS, etc .. not "by amazon"
      worth checking it out for sure though, I suspect the reason behind the free international shipping is to get us access to more stuff during these two days

      • hey aj on 15/07/2019 - 11:35

    • acidantics on 15/07/2019 - 18:29

      The free shipping from Amazon US has been going on for at least a couple of weeks, the free delivery for prime members is valid until 11:59 p.m. AEST on 21st July 2019. So it sort of coincides with prime day but I'm not sure if its the main reason for it.

  • deelaroo on 15/07/2019 - 13:07

    Nice price on some records I wanted, cheapest price on Black Hawk puppy food I’ve ever seen, Hue bridge and downlight best price I’ve seen picked up, couple toys for kids and some kitchen stuff. So far going well.

    So you can watch a deal from desktop site but no way now to view watched deal on desktop? Or is there something I am missing?

    Also finally I am getting notifications for deals starting on the Amazon App, but they don't make a sound? Anyone else on iPhone same thing?

    • orange123 on 15/07/2019 - 17:07
