Best Boxing Day sales
Myer Boxing Day sale

In Australia, any major retailer worth its salt has a Boxing Day sale, and that of course includes one of the biggest of them all: Amazon.

Boxing Day, of course, takes place every year right after Christmas on December 26. However, Amazon has been known to kick off its Boxing Day sale early — last year, the online retail giant started its Boxing Day sale on December 22, and ended it on December 27.

While we don't know the exact day the Amazon AU Boxing Day sale will commence, we'll be on hand to to point you towards the best deals as soon as they start pouring in. We suggest you keep an eye on this page in the days leading up to Boxing Day, because with Black Friday and Cyber Monday behind us, this could be your last chance to bag a bargain in 2024.

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 if you haven't signed up before. 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.

Amazon AU Boxing Day sale 2024: when do they start?

Boxing Day sales traditionally begin from December 26, the day after Christmas Day. In recent years, however, retailers have been adjusting how they treat the sales period. Not only do Boxing Day sales usually run until at least the end of the year (and occasionally into the first few days of the New Year) they also occasionally start earlier than Boxing Day itself.

Are Amazon AU Boxing Day sales better than Black Friday?

While the Amazon AU Boxing Day sale definitely presents a chance to make some big savings on a range of products, tech has traditionally been discounted more on Black Friday. Boxing Day deals tend to be more attractive on items such as fashion and homewares.

However, you should still be able to take advantage of Boxing Day deals on things such as TVs, headphones and games. We’ll be checking all the major online retailers for the latest Boxing Day deals on tech and home appliances at Amazon, and adding them to this page.
