So how does Amazon Prime work?

Of course if I buy Amazon Prime from the aussie website then all products purchased from the aussie site will have free shipping.

So what if I buy an aussie Prime subscription and log on to the american site - will I still have free shipping from my aussie membership?

    No. Your Amazon Prime (+Video) subscription only works for Amazon.com.au. There may be Amazon USA products on there that you can get delivered here for free but not directly on Amazon.com.

    Example: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/goldbox - See the [Deal from US] options.

    Also, not all products on Amazon.com.au will have free shipping. Only those sold and/or fulfilled by Amazon itself. Third party sellers are not included in free Prime delivery.

    • when it says "free delivery with prime / $49 spend"

      does it mean free delivery without prime as long as $49 min. spend achieved ,

      or need both prime + $49 spend for free delivery

        Non member must spend min $49 for a free delivery.

        Prime member, infinite free delivery.

        • Free expedited shipping. Don't forget also free Prime Video.

        Free delivery with prime OR $49 minimum spend for free delivery.

      For items coming from USA, it's free delivery for prime members only if you spend over $49.

      • Who delivers for Amazon AU? Is it Aust Post?

              @Topdog: Not always though. They do use third party couriers as well depending on which warehouse it's dispatched from, item dimensions and delivery route etc.

              They'll also inevitably start their own inhouse courier service here like they did in other countries once the order volume increases significantly and higher economies of scale kick in.

              • @Hybroid: So luck of draw (dependent on order) for now. Haha cheers

  • If I buy something and I have amazon prime can I prime ship it to my sister in say queensland when my home address is victorian or is it locked to 1?

    • +1

      Yes, you absolutely can. You can add multiple addresses and get things shipped directly there.

      You can also add Aus Post parcel locker addresses and get things delivered there for free which is very convenient if no-ones home for deliveries and especially great for Friday release day games to pick up on way home from work for the weekend.

    • Yes you can shipped it anywhere you want.

  • how about music service? is it included? and hows it compare to spotify?

      Enjoy FREE expedited delivery in as fast as two days on eligible items, FREE international delivery on eligible Amazon US items over $49 when you shop on amazon.com.au, exclusive access to movies, TV shows, music, free access to over 1000 Kindle e-books, Twitch free in-game loot, and more.

      Yes music is included. Although very much like Prime Video, it’s okay for a ‘free’ bundled perk but won’t compare to dedicated content providers like Netflix/Spotify. Music Unlimited doesn’t seem to be included and requires separate membership.

      There should be a free trial to give it a go and see if it works for you.

      • Prime video isnt as bad as Stan

      You get Amazon Music, but it's not the full "Amazon Music Unlimited" which has all songs. The version included with prime is limited and excludes some songs/artists. It's never bothered me as I mostly use it for playlists on my Echo. But sometimes if you want to listen to a specific song, particularly some of the real hit songs, they are restricted to the Music subscribers only.
