Amazon AU Boxing Day sale 2023: the best deals and discounts still available to shop in January

MORE BOXING DAY DEALS

Every Aussie retailer worth its salt has a Boxing Day sale, and that of course includes one of the biggest of them all: Amazon

As we expected, the online retail giant started its Boxing Day sale early on December 22, and it ended on December 27. As we predicted, there are still some excellent offers available, which are ending soon, so this may be your last chance to bag a bargain. 

You could find yourself or a loved one a wonderful gift to kickstart the new year or pick up some back-to-school supplies ahead of the new academic year to save on things like laptops and tablets. There are record-low prices on some items, including Xbox game consoles, plus Amazon's own Echo smart devices and Fire TV Sticks are going real cheap too.

And, though you don't need to be an Amazon Prime member in order to bag a bargain on Boxing Day, there are benefits to being one, including free shipping and next-day delivery to select post codes, along with access to a number of other Amazon services. 

Best of all, Amazon offers a 30-day free trial, so it won't even cost you anything. Find out more at the link below.

Amazon's Boxing Day sales are available to all shoppers, but there can occasionally be exclusive deals for Primer members. Plus, if products are sold or shipped by Amazon AU, you can benefit from free next-day delivery. Because of this, we believe it's a good idea to become a Prime member during the sales period. An Amazon Prime subscription gets you free delivery on millions of items, and best of all, if you haven't previously been a member, you can get all the benefits within its 30-day free trial. A subscription will also grant you access to a number of other Amazon services, including Prime Video, Prime Reading and Prime Gaming.
