        I guess you guys missed out on deals .. eBay paid me $95 to have plus for a year, so already a good start. I scored an iPad 10" for $199 .. a Kodak 360º camera for $49 .. NB shoes (RRP $120) for $44 during their 21-day event .. buy-1-get-2 USB and SD cards deals for $5 each delivered earlier this year and free delivery so much more crap

        Amazon usually charges my card when an item ships, not when I place the order. It's actually fairly annoying when you get charged for something a month later that you've forgotten about and need to work out what the charge is for when there was multiple items on an order plus currency conversion.

    OzBargain will be tracking the 2 days Amazon Prime Day event on this page. They had some pretty good deals last year — most popular ones were 12x Viva Paper Towel $10, Crucial P1 SSD 1TB $129.67 and Amazon Echo Plus $49.

      • Taegukgi on 28/09/2020 - 19:52

        Prime Day is famous for discounts across tens of thousands of products from both big brands and small local businesses, including Bosch, Huggies, Samsung, Gobe and Zenify. Deals will launch across all categories including Amazon devices, consumer electronics, pantry food and drink, toys, fashion, beauty and more.

  • LaProblematique on 28/09/2020 - 19:58

    Have Philips hue (play bars, light strips, colour bulb sets) been on sale on prime day in the past?

    • silverx on 02/10/2020 - 12:37

      not sure but have a feeling it would this time

    • hongerwonger on 06/10/2020 - 19:34

      Yeah actually hue was one of the featured products last year, up to 50% off and something like an additional 30% if you bought an echo dot. Not sure if there were sales on all products, but I bought a starter kit with a bridge, downlights and a remote all for 50% off.

    Is it likely the LG CX (specifically 65") will be on sale? If so, what price should I just push the button? Under $3k?

    • crazyboy on 07/10/2020 - 11:25

      I don't think they even stock LG OLEDs.

  • pegasusx on 29/09/2020 - 16:49

    Just wondering about the scope of the discounts. As Its my first prime day and was wondering if its always a select range of Amazon AU items that are discounted?
    Or is it site wide discounts? Looking to purchase a number of electronics and power tools which are shipped from Amazon US and Amazon UK. etc.

    Do these normally fall under the Prime Day promos? Or only popular things like Switch/Ring cams / AirPods etc?

    • jace88 on 29/09/2020 - 19:04

      Hard to predict but other than Amazon's own branded stuff, there'll be a variety of other products on sale and the sales pricing may not all be announced upfront. Even the items on sale, sometimes only start at certain hours.

      • pegasusx on 29/09/2020 - 19:16

        Damn… Thats a bummer . Was hoping to avoid eBay eligible items hunt. :(

    So far looks lame. I have just signed onto Prime after a 2nd trial, mostly for Prime Video. The Boys is the best thing Amazon has on offer.

    • capslock janitor on 13/10/2020 - 09:58

        I don't even know how I was offered the second one. Did my first one ages ago. Was offered this taking up one of the soft drink deals. Anyway I jumped at it. But then I had to decide whether I liked Prime Gaming and Video enough to sign up for the year so their trial worked - they got me . ;-)

      $500 limit. Also GC lock you into the Amazon eco system.
      e.g. You get refunded an item that is damaged or lost and it goes to GiftCard.
      If that item isnt sold any more that its. Your $ is stuck with Amazon thats the only down side for 3% diff

  • fruxo on 12/10/2020 - 13:02

    How does it usually work, do they announce special deals and the time they will drop? Or are we supposed to stay up and grab a bargain at midnight?

    • stoodamire on 12/10/2020 - 14:49

      There is usually a countdown to when a deal starts.

      So the deals will start from midnight, early birds get the worm.

  • PDeez on 12/10/2020 - 15:12

    Just picked up an Oculus Quest 2 256gb for $399. The 64gb version is going for $299 and both with free delivery.

    Delivery appears to be early Dec 7 - 11 rather than release date but I'm happy to wait.

    Edit: Appears to be full price again. Not sure if I got lucky or if they'll cancel order?

    Edit 2: Appears I've bought from Inventory Clearance AU and not Amazon AU. The seller has no feedback and is a new account, does that mean I've been duped? I don't use Amazon much and didn't notice the seller until after purchase.

    • sleepingtiger on 12/10/2020 - 16:05

      Brand new product in the market from a brand new "seller" for about 40% less than amazon are selling for. Probably not great. I mean, that's the listed price for the 256gb in US dollars, so maybe a price error?

      • snoopydoop on 12/10/2020 - 16:10

        Also wondering if they meant to put it up as the Quest 1 extra inventory?

        What happens in cases like this, is there any way to luck out? Almost pulled the trigger just to see haha. Interested to see how it goes for you PDeez.

        • sleepingtiger on 12/10/2020 - 16:15

          You could always send the seller a message and ask what the go is. At the end of the day though Ozbargain loves deals that generally have 0.01% chance of being honored and try their luck anyway haha. In my shoes, I'm sending a message to the seller.

        • PDeez on 12/10/2020 - 16:35

          Will keep you all posted, genuinely thought it was a flash deal so jumped on it without realising it wasn't Amazon AU. Will message seller but hope they honour it.

            • PDeez on 14/10/2020 - 20:10

              @sleepingtiger: So checking the Amazon app, it appears something has been shipped but if I follow the tracking it looks like it is going from China mainland to Adelaide, then I assume it will be posted locally to me. Is the Quest 2 even releasing in China? Will I be receiving a knock-off and if so, are Amazon pretty good with returns?

              • sleepingtiger on 14/10/2020 - 20:20

                @PDeez: Thanks for the update. I actually don't have any answers for you here so hopefully someone else can chime in. All I can say is that I'm still interested to here how it all goes. Did it say it was shipping from Australia on the original listing? Either way, have a read through of Amazons A to Z Guarantee. I imagine you'll be fine it something is amiss:

                https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=…

                Hope for the best, expect the worst.

                • PDeez on 14/10/2020 - 21:10

                  @sleepingtiger: Definitely an odd one as I didn't think the devices were available in China due to its Facebook connection (but may be wrong, a quick google shows a few on taobao). I think they're made by Xiaomi though so maybe this one was diverted onto the dodgy truck from the factory instead of the other truck going to the retailers. Might be stolen or a copy or possibly a Quest 1? Interested to see if it works. I'll check the original listing and will keep up the updates.

                  Will check out Amazon's terms, thanks.

                • PDeez on 21/10/2020 - 11:04

                  @sleepingtiger: Expect the worst is right, if a deal is too good to be true it's usually because it's too good to be true!! Item was sent to someone in Adelaide and signed for. I note another user has also left a review saying they've been scammed by seller, as such I've filed a refund request with Amazon.

                  • sleepingtiger on 21/10/2020 - 14:39
                    +1

                    @PDeez: That's shit. Hope Amazon steps up for you. I'm still confused by the logic of shipping something or nothing to a different address. Well, not that it's going to matter but I'm still hoping you get the next best outcome with Amazon.

                    • PDeez on 25/10/2020 - 21:21

                      @sleepingtiger: A full refund was given within hours of lodging the case with Amazon, kudos to them for great service.

                      Yeah the scam is a confusing one, I don't see how the scammer makes anything as I assume Amazon recoup the money from whatever merchant account they sign up with and then ban the seller? Seems a lot of trouble for low gain? Not sure.

                      I ended up buying direct from Amazon AU and received a Quest 2 the following day, full price of course but worth the price and the wait!

      • AustriaBargain on 12/10/2020 - 16:29

        Could be an error, but sometimes businesses just eat the error.

    Is it just my wife & i but has anyone else noticed that items that are 'Ships from' / 'Sold by' Amazon US on the Amazon AU site have jumped in price by 5% since last week ?

    Last week we bookedmarked & screen shot about 12 items.
    Today i reviewed these same items and every single one of them has increased in price by approx 5%
    They are exactly the same products and the same 'Ships from' / 'Sold by' Amazon US on the Amazon AU site as we saw last week, but with higher prices.
    I thought it might have been due to the Australian dollar dropping against the US dollar ?
    But the Australian dollar has infact strengthen against the USD over the past week so prices should have fallen not increased 5% since last week.

    It is very disappointing : (

    • apsilon on 12/10/2020 - 18:32

      I noticed the opposite, several items I've had on my wishlist for ages dropped about 5% in the last week or so.

    2) When I use cashrewards, what is the process? Use 'shop now' button and once redirected, go to OZB and click on the deal?
