Amazon’s Prime Day launched in overseas markets a few years ago and very quickly became one of the most popular mid-year sales in those territories. And although the online retailer took its time to launch Down Under, Amazon is finally hosting Australia’s first ever Prime Day.
(Not in Australia? We’re also covering the Amazon Prime Day sales in the UK and USA.)
The highly anticipated shopping event has kicked off and will continue for 36 hours, ending at midnight on July 17. To participate, however, you will need to be an Amazon Prime member.
In Australia, Amazon Prime costs $6.99 a month, or $59 a year. However, as an introductory offer, Amazon has reduced the monthly subscription to $4.99, with the offer ending in January 31, 2019. For those signing up for Prime, the monthly cost will revert to $6.99 a month from February 2019 onwards.
But there is a 30-day free trial. So if you just want to give the service a trial run, now would be a good time to sign up and you can shop to your heart’s content during Prime Day.
