With Amazon Australia’s Subscribe & Save store, you can receive a discount and avoid running out of household essentials – from dishwashing tablets to pet supplies, alongside the added convenience of automatic deliveries when you sign-up. Select a delivery frequency that suits you, from every 2 weeks to every 6 months, and enjoy free standard delivery. There are no ongoing commitments or fees and you can cancel a subscription at any time.

What discount do I get I hear you say? Subscribe & Save shoppers will receive 10% off the standard price for eligible Subscribe & Save products, plus if you’re a Prime Member you’ll snag 15% off subscriptions for eligible nappies and baby wipes (find out more here).

Home expert and TikTok personality Loui Burke reveals,

When Aussies think Amazon and deals, many may recall the big sales events of Prime Day, Black Friday and Boxing Day – and whilst these are definitely ones to mark in your shopping calendar - did you know that there are deals available Every. Single. Day? Bargain hunters can head to the ‘Today’s Deals’ section on Amazon.com.au and view the epic savings to be had across a full range of categories. These change regularly and some are exclusive to Prime Members, so another reason to sign up.

A tried and tested savings hack, known to the savviest of shoppers, bulk buying can often help trim the cost per item. Many items on Amazon.com.au have a $ per count or $ per 100g feature next to the overall product cost, which can be useful in making like-for-like comparisons.

In the Buy More and Save section on Amazon.com.au, you’ll also find everyday essentials like laundry detergent, to pet food and even undies - and if you spend more than $40, you’ll receive 5 % off your transaction.

Customer Programs Lead at Amazon.com.au Rachel Basha explains, “While coupons are nothing new for many Aussies, when it comes to things like takeaways, Amazon Australia also regularly shares coupons for a variety of products – including staples for the kitchen, bathroom, laundry as well as electronics, office supplies and more. Customers can virtually ‘clip’ coupons onsite, for them to be applied automatically at checkout on eligible products. There’s even a range of Subscribe & Save coupons for new subscribers to shave off an additional discount ranging from 5% - 25% off on a wide array of everyday essentials.” Check them out here.

Those in the know, know that sometimes a pre-loved product, lovingly refurbished, restored and Amazon is an excellent way to make your dollar go further. Shop Amazon Renewed for products that have been refurbished to work like new for sale at affordable prices, including computers, smartphones, watches and tablets, headphones, TVs, gaming equipment, kitchen appliances and cameras. And to give that extra peace of mind, all Amazon Renewed purchases are backed by an 180 day supplier warranty – that’s on top of the normal returns policy.

Another fantastic way to save more on your purchases is to look at Amazon Warehouse. This section offers great deals on quality used, pre-owned, or open box products. Every product has been tested and reviewed for quality control, with detailed descriptions of any alterations to the product to make decisions with confidence. Our Warehouse deliveries also still come with all the benefits of Amazon fulfilment, customer service, and returns rights.

We know that while ‘value’ may mean different things for different customers, one of the biggest benefits Amazon.com.au has to offer to Aussies is its ability to get your orders to you quickly, conveniently and, if eligible, for FREE with Prime FREE One-Day delivery on eligible items sold or shipped by Amazon AU to select postcodes in Melbourne and Sydney.

If you’re not going to be home you can also send parcels to one of our Amazon Lockers and Counters right across the country and collect it within three days of delivery. With more than 900 and located in cities and towns around Australia including Cairns in Queensland, Riverside in Tassie and Karrinyup in WA, we’re focused on getting orders to customers as quickly as possible.
