    Find current deals in Today’s Deals

    Major shopping moments like Prime Day aren’t the only time of year you can find deals across your favorite categories. Every day, you can browse and shop deals across Amazon.com.au by visiting the Today’s Deals page, where you can also search for deals in specific categories.

    We offer a variety of limited time deals on popular, well-known brands. And if you’re a Prime member, you can also filter by Prime Exclusive deals to enjoy members-only offers.

    Make Lists to organise products you’re interested in and keep track of price drops

    Lists are a useful way to keep tabs on items that you want to buy, but may not be ready to purchase at this very moment.

    All Lists are private by default to start, but you can share your List and invite others to edit and collaborate on them for occasions like birthdays, parties, and more.

    In addition to keeping your items organised in one place, Lists can also help you save money. If you’re using the Amazon Shopping app, you’ll be notified whenever the price of an item in your List drops, or when a coupon or deal becomes available.

    Use ”Keep shopping for” to pick up where you left off

    Have to cut your shopping session short? The next time you return to Amazon, checkout the Keep shopping for experience to return to a previously viewed item.

    In the Amazon Shopping app, tap the Me tab (it looks like a person) at the bottom of the screen, and you will see Keep shopping for. Desktop users are able to spot the experience toward the top of the Amazon.com.au homepage.

    Here, you’ll find all of the products you were previously considering organised by category. Once you click on a category, Amazon will show you your viewed products and similar items, best sellers, deals, and top-rated items in the same category so you can make the best purchase for your needs.

    Note our clothing sizing guides to help you choose the best size for you

    There are a couple of ways you can pick the best size for a piece of clothing, like a jacket or jeans. First, every clothing item should have a Size Chart detailing each size’s measurements. There should also be a statement above the product description that predicts which size should fit you best based on data from customers who buy the same sizes as you.

  • 5.
    Compare an item to similar items so you can make the best choice for you

    For products that you’ve added to your cart and are considering purchasing, you have the ability to Compare with similar items— if you tap the button conveniently located below the item. Here, you’ll see a few items that may or may not be from the same brand as your current item, but are similar in aesthetic or function.

    With a quick glance, you can easily compare the Amazon customer rating, price, shipping option, colour, dimensions, weight, and other aspects of each product. When using the Amazon Shopping app, you can also compare the item against other recently-viewed products.

    Take a closer look at Price Per Unit to compare items

    Next time you’re comparing products to see which offers the best value for you, check the Price Per Unit. The price per unit feature displayed in search results (in parentheses next to the list price) can help you determine the best value for you when shopping for everyday essentials on Amazon.com.au, and help you decide if you should buy in bulk and which offer has the best value.

    Shop like-new products at Low Prices

    Amazon Renewed: 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 a 180 day supplier warranty – that’s on top of the normal returns policy.

    Amazon Warehouse: 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.

    Virtually clip coupons onsite

    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.
