From press release:

16 June, 2022 – Amazon Australia has today announced the date for its annual Prime Day shopping event,
giving Prime members access to huge savings during the world’s longest Prime Day. The massive shopping
event will kick off at 12AM AEST 12 July, with local deals running for 48 hours until 11:59PM AEST on 13
July. Deals from the UK and US will be available on Amazon.com.au through Amazon Global Store until
5pm AEST on 14 July, giving Australian Prime members access to a massive 65 hours of deals.

If you aren't already a prime member, it's $6.99 for 1 month, if you aren't eligible for a 30 day free trial. You might like to wait until the day before joining as a member, and then sign up if you see a deal you like that needs prime. If you wanted it more long term, it's $59 for a year which is 30% cheaper. You also get access to Prime Video and some other extras (see prior link).

While those who aren't interested in prime can block the Amazon Prime Day tag here, by clicking on the … menu in the top right hand corner then clicking hide on new deals and/or front page. Ensure that you are using the list front page for that setting to work.

The Prime Day 2022 Sales Page is active now.

    I recall last year being a huge disappointment, so I’ll try not to get my hopes up this time

      • Sxio on 12/07/2022 - 09:23

        I bought 30 cans of pepsi max for $2 less than I'd pay at coles.

        Plus a drawing tablet for 40% and camera batteries for 25% so not a total bust. No lenses that I'm looking at are discounted at all which is pretty underwhelming.

        • Jazza2400 on 12/07/2022 - 09:35

          What's the tablet? Is it for adults or kids?

          • Sxio on 12/07/2022 - 09:49

            @Jazza2400: Wacom Intuos Small Graphic Tablet

            It's for both, but my purpose is photo retouching.

        I'd pay for Prime just for the free shipping because the shipping is very fast. Prime Video is a bonus for me.

        • BobD on 17/06/2022 - 07:33

          I find the Prime shipping time a bit hit or miss. I have a local sourced order at the moment which Amazon reckon will take two weeks to deliver. Other times it's almost next day.

        LOL. I do love when people say I pay for a subscription and get free stuff. No you don't, you just get a lot better value for the included stuff than you would if you paid separately.

        • zbys on 11/07/2022 - 11:31
          +3

          For things you wouldn't have purchased separately in the first place. It's bundle pricing economics to capture value.
          Let's say A+B+C is priced at $2.10. I value A and B at $1 each, but C only at $0.2.
          If they were evenly priced individually at 70c each I would buy A & B for $1.40 and not buy C, and think I got a great deal because I would have spent $2.
          In a bundle, A+B is "worth" $2 for me (assuming I can't buy them individually which would reduce my willingness to pay). C now comes out to be "only" $0.1, under my $0.2 perceived value. And so I spend $2.10.

          The key is to mix quite different products in this strategy. If you have a large group of people were some only want A&C, or just B&C and you can value capture a larger audience with a fixed price and simpler marketing. This is why hardly anyone uses all of the prime features - there are very few who want or value ALL of the individual components.

          Whether this is worth it depends on the cost to provide that product or service - let's say A, B and C cost $0.2 to supply.
          In the first scenario the company received $1.40 minus $0.4 = $1.00 profit
          In the second scenario the company received $2.10 minus $0.6 = $1.50 profit

          • dickiee on 11/07/2022 - 19:07

            @zbys: I saw that movie on Prime TV and read about it on my kindle! Crazy what people think is a deal these days. Oh well.

            At least my leader is actually building me a space ship unlike that last Old man Hubbard told me about.

        • Chiang on 12/07/2022 - 12:16

          I know a tonne of people that used to rent a new release dusk for $6 weekly (when that was more hours worked) who now balk at $6.99 monthly. I don't watch it all that much but love having it there for the occasional show. Go off Prime and I find I can quickly spend $7 a month on other vendor shipping easily.

          I am always amused by the comparison though.

      • Franc-T on 12/07/2022 - 15:23

        True enough, but honestly I paid for prime just for the video, getting free shipping is great without looking at other stuff.

    • Quantumcat on 17/06/2022 - 07:51

      What free audio books? Does Prime include a subscription to Audible?

      • BobD on 18/06/2022 - 08:01
        -1

        Google can help

        Is Audible free with Prime?
        While it's technically an Amazon company, Audible is not included with a Prime membership, so you'll have to sign up for it separately. Once you do, however, you'll gain access to more than 470,000 audiobook titles (and counting).28 Sept 2020

        cost about $15 / m

        • Quantumcat on 18/06/2022 - 13:57

          I already know that hence why I was asking.

          Quoting sharkyoz:

          prime is good, get … free ebooks

      The Oral-B ones frequently go on sale for 1/2 price at coles and woolies and are very decent. I've got the 'povo' pro 2000 that does the job alright. battery lasts on avg 2w, brushing twice daily with the built in brush 'timer' function.

      It's just you. Amazon ships things for free the next day, same day if over a certain amount.
      They also give me free returns, and they're usually cheaper than ebay.

      • Lancerx on 12/07/2022 - 00:14
        +1

        But it just never really has the range. I don't always find it cheaper personally. Return is free with ebay plus anyway, plus PayPal covers it.

      I have religiously ordered nappies the last 3-4 prime days, disappointed with the sale this year. The hugely discounted are the ultimate.

      Have a look at huggies store page, they are discounted slightly for the 1 month packs (usually pick them up $30-$40) https://www.amazon.com.au/stores/Huggies%C2%AE/page/BA219513…

    • tamckinnon on 12/07/2022 - 12:11

      We've had a subscribe and save for nappies and wipes since day 1 and we haven't ran out at all. Just need to remember to swap the nappy size as bubs grows.

      • maverickjohn on 13/07/2022 - 23:37

        Pampers didn't go on sale too much but are equal of not better than Huggies

      Extra 10% with the checkbox, I think it's about $0.18/nappy which I think is good.

      Found them here

      • jace88 on 12/07/2022 - 01:37

        Thanks. I did see this but I thought the one month boxes used to be about $40ish with S&S in the past and sometimes in the thirties… but my memory isn’t great and it’s impossible to reconcile order receipts in Amazon history due to promotional credits. I guess I need these so may as well order!

        Ordered and came up as $37.26… I think that’s the 15% off to bring $50 down to $42.50 and then I think I had something from my Netflix gift card promo.

    I've gone through my last year's past order history (I've bought an embarrassingly large amount of stuff from Amazon) and there is ONE item which is cheaper than what I bought it for. Many things say they are 40% off or some other crazy deal, but they have marked off imaginary RRP rather than what it's usually available for on Amazon.

    This is worse than eBay price jacking.

    • m34nstav on 12/07/2022 - 09:37

    Got ginger beer, Pepsi, bike tubes (meh price but needed some), Cetaphil oily skin cleanser, JJ corn starch powder, and a Northface Apex Bionic for 152.

    The household items were good price, slightly lower than the typical lows. The Northface is decent, about 25% off typical retail, might return it.

    There was some decent Samsung phone deals, Flip and S21, but no SD slot was a killer. The Lenovo Yoga for 700 odd was good but 8 GB wasn't.

    Meh Prime day overall.

    Really hope that ACCC gets onto the blatant Amazon price jacking. Unlikely, but it would be good. Almost all the big discounts are immediately after a huge markup on the price, and are often more expensive than standard discounts.

    Just met a very ridiculous customer service. I was about to pay a deal and it was removed from my cart and error occurs. As it was the last one I thought it might be oos. But I then searched and find it still available so I took a screen shot. But when I press the link the price raised about $20. I then contacted the customer service who told me THE PRICE CHANGES FROM TIME TO TIME AND YOU CAN CHECK IT FROM TIME TO TIME. I asked her so even if it was Prime Day deal the price is like stock and I will never know when it is the time to buy it for cheapest price? She said yes……

    Pretty disappointed on the phone deals, I was hoping for a good deal on S22 ultra or the like as my phone's cracked screen stopped responding this week. The flip deal was really impressive but not the device I'm looking for this time. May just have to settle for ~$1400 as my phone is almost non-operational, or something cheaper.
