It’s back! Amazon Australia has officially announced the dates for Prime Day, which will once again last 7 days, kicking off at 12am on Tuesday, July 7, and finishing up at 11:59pm on Monday, July 13.
This comes about a week earlier than we expected, as the sale event is usually held in mid-July. That’s alright, though, because it’s still more or less on schedule and starting on a Tuesday like it usually does.
The reason that we think Amazon is hosting its Prime Day sale a little early this year is because the same event is taking place on June 23-26 in other countries (like the US, UK and Singapore), but since we just finished our very own Mid-Year Sale last week (June 1-7), it’s understandable that the retail giant wouldn’t want to follow it up quickly with its biggest shopping event.
Speaking of the Mid-Year Sale, if you missed out on any of the deals from the event, we’re still covering the best EOFY deals live this month, but we fully expect Prime Day to bring even better discounts on tech. We’ll be keeping an eye on prices of the best headphones, best tablets, best cameras and more, and we’ll have all the deals listed in our Prime Day hub.
We’re also expecting to see discounts from brands like Apple, Samsung, Dyson and more, as well as with Amazon’s own range of products like Kindle ereaders, Echo smart speakers, and Ring video doorbells.
As usual, we expect best prices will be exclusive to Amazon Prime members, although there will also be widely available discounts, too. If you’re interested but not yet a Prime member, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial. If you sign up just for the event, you’d still be eligible for the Prime Day deals even if you cancel your membership immediately after.
Otherwise, staying on as a Prime member after your free trial will cost AU$9.99 per month, or AU$79 for an annual membership. Other benefits you can get with a Prime membership are the Prime Video streaming service, Amazon Music and Amazon Luna gaming.
Get ready for Prime Day
With the number of deals we’re expecting to see going into the thousands, browsing through the Amazon Australia site could be overwhelming. The good news is that we will help you find the best tech deals in real-time and have them all listed in our dedicated live Prime Day hub. You’ll want to check in often so you won’t miss out on some of the best discounts, as some of them will go live in a flash and sell out very quickly.
Amazon Prime Day is one of the retailer’s biggest and best sales events in Australia in recent years, and it’s up there with Black Friday, EOFY, and the second Prime Day event that we expect to see sometime in October.
