What is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days and how does it work?

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is an offshoot of the better-known Amazon Prime Day.

According to the Amazon spokespeople we've chatted to, Big Deal Days should not be dismissed as a "mini Prime Day". There will be thousands of deals available over the course of the event.

Most of the deals are exclusive to Prime members. Confirmed brands to look out for include Barbie, Penfolds, GHD, L'Oreal Paris, Maybelline, Adidas, Bonds, Bonds, Fossil, Breville, DeLonghi, Philips, Sunbeam, Nintendo, Bose, and PlayStation - but that's just a tiny fraction.

Most third-party brands will be participating in the sale, which means you can score discounts on pretty much any product you can think of.

When does Amazon Prime Big Deal Days start in Australia?

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days officially kicks off at midnight AEDT on 8 October.

How long does the sale last?

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale will end at 11:59pm AEDT on 13 October.

What is Amazon Prime?

Amazon Prime Day

Amazon Prime is the backbone of Amazon's delivery services, allowing customers to get fast and free deliveries and free returns for the cost of an annual or monthly subscription.

The perks don't just stop there - you also get access to Amazon's streaming services. This includes:

  • Prime Video: A Netflix-style streaming service with over 2,000 titles.
  • Amazon Music: A Spotify competitor boasting 2 million songs.
  • Prime Reading: Free access to thousands of ebooks, short stories, comics and children's books via the Kindle Store.
  • Prime Gaming: Free access to a selection of PC games, with more added every month (plus free in-game loot for select titles).

If you haven't joined Amazon Prime before, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial which is the best way to take advantage of the sale.

Does Amazon US ship to Australia?

Yes. When the Australian government extended GST payments to online purchases, Amazon briefly blocked its international sites in this country. However, it quietly reversed this decision shortly afterwards. You can now shop on Amazon's US site should the mood strike you.

Just be aware that shipping fees will be higher and some third-party sellers will not send items to international customers.

Do I need to be an Amazon Prime member?

While it's technically possible to participate in Amazon Prime Big Deal Days without a Prime membership, most of the best offers are exclusive to members.

How much is Amazon Prime in Australia?

Amazon Prime cost $9.99 per month, or $79 for a full year. There is also a free 30-day trial available.

Currently, new Prime members can purchase an Echo Pop smart speaker when they sign up for $29 - down from an RRP of $79.

Should I just wait for Black Friday?

Black Friday is just one month away, which begs the question: should you skip Amazon Prime Big Deal Days and just wait?

An obvious advantage of Black Friday is the wide variety of participating retailers. Amazon will be forced to compete with other online stores, which could result in slightly lower prices.

On the other hand, it is in Amazon's best interests to provide superior value during exclusive sales events. We therefore expect this sale to match Amazon's Black Friday offers.

If you've been eyeing a particular product and see a great deal during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, our advice is to snap it up.

Amazon shopping tips

As with any huge shopping event, there are pros and cons to shopping on Amazon Prime Day. You can score some of the best deals all year by knowing what to look for and doing a little research beforehand. Here are our top tips for snagging the lowest prices on Prime Day:

  • Get deal alerts. If you've downloaded the Amazon App, you can choose to turn notifications on, meaning you'll get a buzz as soon as your favourite item goes on sale.
  • Know what a deal badge looks like. All Prime Day deals feature a blue badge, making them really easy to spot among the madness on Amazon.
  • Ask Alexa. Have you invested in your own Alexa or Echo device? Simply ask her about the Prime Day deals and you can hear all about them as you make your breakfast or clean up your home. Voice shopping is the new thing!
  • Create a wish list. With the plethora of products available on site, it's a good idea to create a list of all your must-have items. This will allow you to sort out exactly what you want, how much they cost, and how much of a discount they'll have. It also ensures you don't go a little crazy and buy unnecessary sale items on the day.
  • Know when to strike and when to pass. Lightning Deals that are released as often as every five minutes can turn online shopping into a frenzy. While you do need to snap up some items as fast as you can, don't be pressured into clicking "Add to cart" on every single item that flashes across your screen. If you can, do a quick Internet search to make sure the Prime Day price is really as good as it seems.
  • Read the fine print. In the US, some Prime Day deals, particularly on big-ticket electronics like TVs and computers, have hidden the brand name and model number until just before the sale drops, so you should make sure you double-check these details before jumping on a low price.
  • Check reviews. When you feel rushed to snatch up a discount, you might not take the time to read through product reviews like you normally would. Don't skip this step, unless you're already familiar with the product and know for sure it's what you want.
  • Compare prices. Other retailers are aware of the impact Amazon has had on the local marketplace, so don't be surprised to see even more competitive prices on offer from other stores over the Prime Day sale.
