Ok this is one is a bit odd. Just browsing my Amazon wish list and noticed that some of the cheaper international items I've been looking at no longer need a $49 minimum spend to qualify for free shipping (for Prime members). As an example - this bbq deflector plate.

It says T&Cs apply but I've looked around and can't find any. The 'deal' hasn't been emailed out and I can't see anything on the Amazon home page about it.

So yeah. Good opportunity I guess to buy some of those little things you can't find locally. If anyone has any feedback on the presentation of this deal let me know.

Edit: wakeupaaron found the T&Cs about 5 seconds after I posted this deal:

    • neonlight on 15/07/2019 - 19:45

      That's the whole point because they realise noone will buy from US store. Hence they are doing this promote.

    • RichardL on 20/06/2019 - 13:14

      You're purchasing through the Amazon AU site, so prices are in AUD (exchange rates and tax has already been factored into the AUD prices).

  • Diji1 on 20/06/2019 - 13:13

    Is it actually free shipping?

    Because they used to/still do say "free shipping" but if you were overseas that meant "reduced or free shipping" depending on item.

    • beefsandwich on 20/06/2019 - 13:14

      I bought the Pizza Bible book I mentioned above and paid no shipping. The deal seems pretty legit as long as the product falls into the T&Cs above.

      • GregMonarch on 20/06/2019 - 19:18
        +20

        As has been proven many times, even by government themselves… the GST collected on overseas goods doesn't cover the cost of collecting it. It was solely dreamed up by Gerry Harvey (though he tried to pass the back onto every Australian retailer) to force us to buy here in Australia: which, if had worked, would have boosted profit for people like Gerry Harvey - not tax revenue. So the GST collected hardly goes toward any kind of social services. a) We pay it as a tax, and b) The taxpayer has to then cover the extra expense of collecting it. Which kind of blows the whole 'tax is for social services' justification so far out of the water, there's tumbleweeds rolling by. ;-)

        P.S. Still boycotting Harvey Norman over here. I was tempted by that Logitech keyboard & mouse deal today, because there's no JB Hifi nearby but do have a HN. In spite of my wireless mouse acting up, my desire for payback runs deep and won out again.

        • soob on 21/06/2019 - 09:07

          Yeah but there is zero cost to collect it from big retailers like Amazon/Steam who opt-in to charging us GST during the purchase. It's only the small Chinese places that still sell to us GST free that they won't bother collecting the GST from during the processing (also they massively under declare the item value on the shipping label anyway).

          • GregMonarch on 26/06/2019 - 16:20

            @Agret: Well, that may or may not be technically correct - we just don't know. i.e. I'm sure it would have required some pointless government jobs be created to draft and oversee new laws, for overseas businesses to liaise both ways to check they're complying, a whole new separate department (or at least additional jobs in existing ones) to collect the new revenue stream, etc. So somehow I find it difficult to believe the 10% collected covers even this 'minor' ongoing 'maintenance'. ;-p

    • et tu brute on 20/06/2019 - 21:39

      @lol
      coaster … as stated by "RichardL" above, the tax (GST) is included in the advertised price on the Amazon AU site. I have audited several items across various categories and tested the prices shown on the Amazon US site where the item is sold by Amazon US, (and NOT Amazon Marketplace sellers), applied current Oz bank (Westpac) USD/AUD selling x-rate and added 10% GST to the AUD conversion. In all cases the price comparisons of these items almost matched within an A$1.00 either way against the advertised price for the same item offered on the Amazon AU site (using the same ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number for each product).

      So… it appears to me that Amazon AU is doing the 'right thing' with the pricing of their Amazon US store offerings. I doubt they would risk their reputation to exploit consumers while the ACCC and other consumer watchdogs could just as easily make the same simple price comparison as I have described above. It would also appear to me that the shipping costs including customs charges have been absorbed by Amazon for their Amazon Prime members.

      Ciao for now :)

      You don't pay this separately if buying it from the Amazon AU site. If it lists as $10.00, you pay $10.00, not $11.00.

        As a user who have used amazon prime and eBay plus for a year, if I were to choose, I will definitely go with amazon prime. Amazon has more deals compared to Ebay who always jacks their prices and when there’s a deal I found interested, I can still get it with a normal Ebay account. Prime has music and video as well so will definitely go with Prime if I have a choice.

      I'd say Amazon are using this promotion to test how many (more) prime members purchase US items when they ditch the $49 minimum. I would sign up to Prime for this feature alone if the $49 min didn't apply.

        I'm using this model now and it's actually surprisingly great. We use it for Blu Rays mainly, but also fully functional for Netflix and seamlessly works on multiple consoles without requiring resyncing to different machines.

        Also helps the annoyance of having to turn on an Xbox controller to pause a show and it also comes more naturally to non-gamers who know how to use a remote, but not necessarily a controller

        From Amazon US they haven't in the past. There are some sellers who jack up the prices compared to the US site, but that's a different issue.

        The Amazon US prices on the AU site are usually pretty close to the US price + exchange + GST

            @petry: Here are the three things I've bought recently (with some basic rounding to the dollar because I'm lazy). Conversion via XE at 69c.

            Cat Stratcher
            AU - $73AU
            US - $US45 = $AU65 + $6.50GST = $71.50
            Difference of $2.

            Under Armour Slides
            AU = $49
            US = $US35 = $AU50 + $5GST = $55
            Difference of -$6

            Topsky Gaming Chair
            AU = $260
            US = $US160 = $AU231 + $23GST = $254
            Difference of $6

            As I said the US prices on the AU site are pretty close to the US price + exchange + GST. My slider worked out a bit cheaper too.

                    But with free postage, then the Amazon US stock becomes hugely cheaper than buying via US Amazon.

                            Timberland gloves AU = $49
                            Via US site = $US30 = $43 + $4.3 GST = $47.30
                            A difference of $1.70

                            Pokemon Metmetal GX box = $26
                            Via US site = US16= $23 + 2.3GST = $25
                            A difference of $1

                            Pokemon Bed sheets = $44
                            Via US site = $US27 = $38 + 3.8GST = $41.80
                            A difference of $2.20

                            Risk = $37
                            Via US site = $US23 = $33 + 3.3GST = $36.30
                            A difference of about $1

                            Cardigan = $16
                            Via US site = $us10 = $14 + 1.4 = $15.40
                            Difference of less than $1

                            I think that neatly confirms it until you post some sort of link. And please do. There's 'millions' of items after all for you to choose from. It shouldn't take too long. I'm happy to wait.

          Who are Kogan and Catch?

        I am genuinely surprised that people likes Kogan first

        • No ONE on 20/06/2019 - 21:36

          I recently noticed Kogan has now a marketplace like Catch.

    Here's the Amazon Global page if anyone needs it. It has "Most popular items" and "Global store items under $20" https://www.amazon.com.au/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%…

    Wow.. this is good news indeed. I have had quite a few low price Amazon US items in the past that I would have liked to order, but didn't due to the $49 minimum. This will be very helpful.

  • Bellpop on 20/06/2019 - 13:49

    Good news for prime members. Expecting lots more amazing deals now 🥳

  • zeroxp on 20/06/2019 - 14:05

      They had them for $19 each at my local Kmart.

      • loveyoulooongtime on 20/06/2019 - 19:38

        Three at $15.60 each and they come to my door though.

    Upvoted but have no idea what to buy. PLEASE HELP US SPEND OZBARGAIN!

      Don't fall into the trap, if you have nothing to buy then don't spend money just because people are.

      • katz on 21/06/2019 - 10:19

        It’s time to leave ozbargain.

        • chutibuti on 21/06/2019 - 18:32

          What??,, how do you expect to spend then 🤪🤪

    Any video games that haven't realeased in Aus going for cheap with this deal that people know of?

  • Kuyaozb on 20/06/2019 - 14:38

    Very good deal. Thanks OP.

  • HaiG on 20/06/2019 - 14:43

    I have been trying to buy from Amazon US in the last week but failed. It said "Eligible to ship to AU" on the item but as soon as I checked out, it says The item cannot be delivered to out of US (AU addressed was entered). Item was sold by third party but fulfilled by Amazon. Does anyone face the same issue?

    • RichardL on 20/06/2019 - 14:44

      This promotion is only valid on the Amazon AU site.

      • HaiG on 20/06/2019 - 14:48

        Even without this promotion, I cannot buy from Amazon US any more (with the above error). Thought Amazon lifted the blocking of Amazon US from Australia but it seems this blocking is still applied to me.

        • videoman on 20/06/2019 - 15:08

          Most US items are still blocked in Australia.

            @videoman: @haig been like that for months

          I have found some items that ship to AUS from amazon.com.

          I have tried a bunch of different filters like Amazon Global, International shipping eligible, fulfilled by Amazon.com and still get items that won't ship to AUS.

          Here are 2 that will ship as an example:

          https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HVLUR18/ref=ox_sc_act_t…

          https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007BKLB8C/ref=ox_sc_act_t…

          I haven't clicked "Place this Order", but I do get

          Choose a delivery option:
