Boxing Day 2024 sales: when do they start?

Boxing Day occurs every year on the day right after Christmas, December 26. It's known as the last major sales event of the year, and while Boxing Day has traditionally been considered a one-day event, this has changed in recent years, with many retailers opting to keep the deals going until the end of the year.

So while the Boxing Day sales won't be around in time for last-minute Christmas shopping, those who are patient should still be able to score a great deal before the year comes to a close.

Where to shop during Boxing Day 2024

There'll be several retailers offering Boxing Day deals both in store and online this year, but there are some usual suspects that will surely have a great offer on a wide variety of tech.

Some of them are: Amazon Australia, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Harvey Norman, Bing Lee, Appliance Central, Appliances Online, HP, Lenovo, Dell and more.
