Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm viewing on mobile via flaky internet connection but it looks like the $49 minimum purchase for free shipping with Prime is currently gone.

Eg 2 gallons of Elmer's glue (probably worthy of a seperate bargain https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B002FTOBZE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i… )

      Phew. I'm out camping at the moment and just checking Amazon and OzB while the kids are off playing.
      Delivery info page on Amazon still states $49 minimum spend so if anyone finds some T&Cs I'll update the post.

    • IVI on 08/10/2019 - 11:02

      Hold on… Amazon prices can be MULTIPLE TIMES MORE THAN local (AU) prices.

      Eg: Yaesu FT-818 (or the older -817) OVER $1,100 vs local price $849 + ~$19 ship'g

      ICOM IC-7100 was ~$4,400 vs local price under $2,000 + ~$30 ship'g

      (Reminds me of "Interest-Free" offers, with reLabelled monthly fees.)

      I also dislike Amazon "range pricing- One listing with a HUGELY WIDE price-range: $49 - $2000 …under 1 photo. Useless!

        +21

        My experience with Fastway was that on multiple occasions they have left parcels in the dirt, right next to my front gate, where anybody walking on the footpath could just grab (you wouldn't even have to open the gate - just reach in). It was literally another 15m to leave it hidden from view at my front door. On the times I have used them to send things they have been late by a day or more to pick them up, more than half of the time.

          They delivered my last parcel to the wrong address. It was a suburb over. Like they just couldn't be bothered! There was no way to get the address wrong.

          Luckily they dropped it to a woman who actually cared, unlike Fastway.

      • EightImmortals on 02/10/2019 - 08:55

        No problems here and been using them for years. I guess it's the luck of the draw. Though I get the impression they were their delivery people really hard so the good ones move on to better things?

        • ATangk on 02/10/2019 - 09:01

          These couriers are all local franchises so it depends who the driver is.

            @ATangk: Yes, but the company itself does not give a hoot if your local driver is giving the company a bad name. I have tried reporting my driver as incompetent but they are not interested, and they are certainly not interested in resolving problems.

            @virtualds: We have a great Fastway courier in our work area. Fyshwick Canberra. We also use them and only time we had problems was when they had to pass on to another courier (TNT) because they did not service that area. Problem was TNT was incredibly slow. 100's of parcels sent and received and all great for us via Fastway. Been using them for years.

                @nguyentran: I live in a house, and can assure you that Fastway are plenty capable of messing that up too.

                We've had:

                • Package delivered to the wrong house
                • "Attempted delivery" where the driver never even attended the property (no card left, no sign of them on security cam) - this happens most frequently
                • Packages left a depot for 3 weeks before delivery
                • jorf on 02/10/2019 - 15:31
                  +8

                  @evanjd: I called the franchise one time to complain after they took 9 days to deliver something 2 suburbs over. The owner claimed that the guy had been out 3 times and insisted that he had GPS tracking logs to prove it. I told him that the security camera proved this was a lie, plus I had left out their authority to leave form, which no one had looked at. He just got defensive and dismissive.

                  Magically they delivered it the next day - and left it on top of the wheelie bins at the front of the house - and didn't even check the authority to leave form.

                  One of a few stories. Absolutely useless.

              @jimmy c: Not sure whether the fyshwick fastway covers all Canberra but we’ve had nothing but issues with them. Mrs has had electrical goods supposedly delivered/signed for when someone’s been home over the years which never arrived.

              They also lost my amazon order last year. A huge box with a PS4 pro, not sure how they can lose that. Tracking never updated from the fyshwick facility and when I contacted them they said it’s been lost in transit. At least amazon was nice enough to offer a discount and resend another one via another courier.

              • jimmy c on 03/10/2019 - 08:34

                @johnnytran: There are many different couriers I suspect. The depot is also not in Fyshwick. As far as I know it is still in Hume. Anyway if you work in Fyshwick I recommend using that as your delivery address.

        the flog who delivers in my area delivered my Tool albums to the wrong address with authority to leave. i initially thought it was stolen; Fastway sent me proof of delivery which showed another street about 2kms away. then the idiot driver couldn't retrieve the mis-delivered parcel and the dodgy (profanity) who received my parcel by mistake never contacted me (my mobile number was on the address label) or came over to give it to me.

        Isn't Fastway a franchise? My experience with them has been… inconsistent.

        Sometimes they deliver on time, sometimes not (my parcel was sitting at their warehouse for 3 days). Another incident is where I requested a return and tHrEe WeEkS later they picked it up.

      • bamzero on 03/10/2019 - 16:39

        The guy that does my area is friendly and decent enough with the parcels, but they usually land over east first, then it takes 2 weeks to get to WA, and then half the time it says it for delivery but doesn't get delivered till the next day. Honestly rather use Auspost. Allied Express still the worst I've encountered.

        Not that happy with local Prime lately either for that matter. 2 day delivery is getting rarer. Last order (Amazon AU sold and stocked) 2 days before they had actually shipped it, and sent 1 although ordered 2, in stock at time of order.

        Last few orders have had similar delays.

      One time Fastway driver leave my parcel outside of my apartment block(total 300 units), someone garbed it. To add to the anger, the driver did not attempt to buss up or call me and forge my signature. All has been captured by CCTV and they don't care even after I provided the footage.

          I think they use they use Auspost for both overseas and interstate deliveries in WA. Never had fastway with an Amazon order which makes sense as in my few experiences with fastway it has taken 3 weeks for a parcel to get from Melb to Perth.

      Yeah fast way suck. Delivered 2 or 3 packages from amazon to other addresses. Even with signature on delivery. They eventually turned up but only because I hassled them. Other issue with amazon au is they dont price match or order purchases via amazon us global store. I had an issue where I assumed they would price match. But they charged me full pre order price. Had to fight them for the refund. Wont touch amazon au again. Just not worth it.

      I think there’s something going on with AusPost and Amazon by expediting packages. Even though it’s supposed to be basic Parcel Post, my packages arrive usually next day, as fast as Express. Normal packages from Sydney/Melbourne would take 2-3 days at least with about a day of “processing”/sitting in warehouse for Brisbane.

      • ATangk on 02/10/2019 - 09:02

      Curious, can these be used with electric cooking or has to be gas cooking? Tempt to buy.

    Thanks OP, might take a gander and see if I can find anything good that actually ships to Australia. :)

    Useful if most of the international items I wanted could be shipped to Aus. Lol

      This offer is only for Prime members. As a Prime member, you usually need to spend $49 to qualify for free shipping from Amazon US, but this offer gives you free shipping for orders under $49 as well.

    They used DHL for my expedited shipping.
