FAQs on Amazon Prime Day 2022
What is Amazon Prime Day?
American retailer Amazon initiated Prime Day in the United States in 2015 to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Since it started, 18 countries, including Australia, have joined the shopping fun. Our first Amazon Prime Day was in 2018.
During Prime Day, several Amazon products, also items from other brands and third-party sellers, are on sale.
Sellers would reserve their best deals for the event to make the most of the extra online traffic.
So, we’re expecting a deals bonanza for electronics, appliances, games and toys, groceries and more.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2022 in Australia?
Amazon Prime Day 2022 Australia begins on 12 July at 12 AM AEST and ends on 13 July at 11:59 PM AEST.
Aussie Prime members can also shop for US and UK deals through the Amazon Global Store until 5 PM AEST on 14 July.
Since 21 June, Prime members have also been scoring early Prime Day deals from Kindle Unlimited, Audible and Prime Video.
Are Amazon Prime Day deals competitive?
On Prime Day, expect products to be at their lowest prices, besting even some of Black Friday’s items.
Other product categories joining the sale race include beauty, home and kitchen items.
Consumer tech products, in particular, typically have the best prices during the event. Amazon’s products are also among the most sought-after.
It’s highly likely to get great discounts from big brands, too.
The best thing is that Amazon Prime Day usually creates a domino effect among other Aussie retailers.
With shoppers going all-out on their shopping, merchants outside Amazon will likely take advantage and scramble to price-match.
So, make sure to check on what the competitors have to offer to score even more deals!
