Amazon has announced the dates for its Prime Day event. Launches July 16 at 00:01am AEST. Stay safe, and enjoy 😊
SYDNEY – 25 June, 2024 – Amazon Australia has announced dates for its flagship Prime Day event, with hundreds of thousands of products set to be discounted across six entire days. From 16 July at 00:01AM AEST through to 21 July, Prime Members will be able to score low prices across all categories including electronics, home and kitchen wares, Amazon devices, everyday essentials, beauty, video games, books, toys, clothes and shoes and more.
New deals will drop throughout the six-day sales event, with savings on leading brands like Apple, Bose, Bonds, de'Longhi, Dyson, Finish, Instant Pot, Lego, Meta, Miele, The North Face, Panasonic, Philips, Quilton, Samsonite, Samsung, Sony and Tommy Hilfiger. Small and medium-sized Australian owned businesses will also feature in the sale event including the Sydney-based pet accessory business Dog Friendly Co. and Melbourne based non-alcoholic cocktail brand, Naked Life Spirits.
The event arrives at the perfect time for those looking to make their money go further, with new research commissioned by Amazon Australia showing that many Australians are planning to buy Christmas gifts earlier than usual to cut costs. Remarkably, over 70% of Australians who will be buying Christmas presents this year said they would purchase them in July if substantial discounts were offered.
Research commissioned by Amazon Australia also shows four in five (84%) Australians say they wait for items to go on sale before making a purchase, with clothing, tech, and appliances being the most common items they hold out for. Prime Day also coincides perfectly with the mid-year tax return period, as two-thirds of Aussie shoppers are waiting for their tax refund to arrive before spending.
Arno Lenior, Director of Amazon Prime across APAC said, “We are thrilled to be bringing our longest ever Prime Day to Australia this year, giving shoppers more time to unlock great value. Aussies are savvier than ever when it comes to spending, with two in three waiting for marquee sales events to make big ticket purchases and we look forward to offering them incredible discounts. We encourage shoppers to start thinking about what they need or want and building out wishlists so that come Prime Day, they are ready.”
Customers who have not tried Prime can unlock a 30-day free trial at amazon.com.au/prime to participate in Amazon Prime Day and to unlock the many year-round benefits, including fast, free and convenient delivery on eligible orders. From day one of membership, members in eligible postcodes will have access to free delivery on millions of local and international Prime eligible items, with FREE next-day delivery on eligible items for Prime members in Brisbane, Geelong, Gosford, Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong; access to Amazon Original series and films on Prime Video; access to 100 million songs ad-free in shuffle mode with Amazon Music and more.
