Amazon Black Friday sale 2024 in Australia: the 10 best deals available now

It's that time of the year again! Amazon AU's Black Friday sale has is well underway, with the international retailer running a two-week long sale on all kinds of gadgets, tech and appliances.

Yes, Amazon AU kicked its Black Friday sales off on Tuesday, November 19 at 00:00am AEDT, with the bargain blitz set to run all the way through to 11:59pm AEDT on Monday, December 2.

You can stay across all the very best Amazon Black Friday sales with our live blog, where we break down the biggest discounts across a wide range of categories, but in this article we'll be listing the 10 best deals that you absolutely shouldn't miss.

After the Black Friday sales period, December 2 will mark Cyber Monday, and unlike last year, Amazon isn't going to extend the sale into December after this date. That makes sense – not long after that, the Amazon Boxing Day sale will start. It really is a great time to be a bargain hunter!

Shop all of today's Amazon deals

Just keep in mind that during Amazon's Black Friday sale, deals and prices will change now and again. The best offers, though, will likely crop up during the actual Black Friday weekend (November 29 to December 2), although we don't think Amazon hardware will see their discount prices change at any time during the sale.

Prime members will likely get access to the best deals, but this sale is open to everybody. To stay on top of the biggest bargains, make sure you sign up for a Prime membership, which gets you a 30-day free trial and you can cancel any time if you don't want to continue paying. You can learn more about this subscription in our dedicated What is Amazon Prime page.

From Amazon's own devices – including Echo speakers, Fire TV Sticks and brand-new 2024 Kindles – to VR headsets, Apple products, cameras and the best headphones, there'll be a lot of tech going cheap. If you missed out shopping during the two Prime Days, Black Friday is your next big chance. That said, there are already some excellent early Black Friday deals to shop right now if you can't wait for the official sale to start.

Amazon Australia Black Friday 2024 sale: key information

When is Amazon Australia’s Black Friday 2024 sale?

Black Friday will arrive on November 29 in 2024, which is the Friday immediately after Thanksgiving in the US. However, Amazon won’t wait until the official date to start offering steep discounts across its site. The online retail giant will likely kick off deals one week earlier, and the discounts will continue on until Cyber Monday, which falls on December 2 this year.

There's also a strong likelihood that the sale might be extended by a few more days after December 2, although with Boxing Day not too long after that, it remains to be seen if Amazon will continue the trend from last year.

How long does Black Friday on Amazon Australia last?

Amazon kicked off its Black Friday sale on November 19, with it expected to extend beyond Cyber Monday if we go by last year's sales.

This doesn’t mean that Amazon will keep the same deals going for the entire Black Friday sales period. Instead, it’s more likely that teaser deals will be launched in the lead up to the official date, with the best offers landing over the four-day Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend.

Can you get free Amazon delivery without Prime?

Yes, you can get free Australian delivery even if you're not a Prime member, but you will make eligible purchases of over AU$59. These are only select products that are shipped and sold by Amazon AU or sold by third-party sellers but shipped by Amazon AU. They will be marked as 'Free Delivery' on the product's listing page.

You will, however, still need to sign up for a free Amazon account. But also note that delivery will not be expedited as it is for Prime members – the retailer usually provides the estimated delivery date when you head to checkout.

Prime Big Deal Days: takeaways from October

In October, Amazon Australia hosted its second Prime Big Deal Days sale which, this year, was a 6-day event, just like the July Prime Day sale. This second sale is prelude to what the online retailer is likely to offer during Black Friday and there was one glaring omission – there were no Prime Day Kindle deals in October. That's probably because Amazon might be getting ready to release some new Kindles, but we'll have to wait and see if that's true.

Amazon also didn't discount any of its popular Fire TV Sticks in October, although they were steeply discounted in July and we're quite sure they'll see the same discounts again in November, if not better. There were plenty of Echo smart speakers going cheap though.

While a lot of the other offers either matched what we saw during July's main Prime Day sale event or were less than what was previously on offer, there were plenty of items to shop. With Black Friday, however, Amazon is likely to outdo its October performance, so expect more deals and deeper discounts directly from the retail giant as well as from resellers.

Amazon Australia Black Friday deals 2024: predictions

Being such a massive online retailer, it can be difficult to know what to look for during Amazon’s Black Friday deals. And with the site stocking such a huge range of items, it’s sometimes tricky to predict exactly which devices will see the best offers come November.

Amazon does have its strengths and weaknesses – it’s a great place to head for deals on Amazon’s Echo range of smart home devices, Garmin smartwatches, Apple products, premium audio gear and so much more. When it comes to tech though, there’s one big category that Amazon is missing, and that’s TVs. You might see a small selection of Philips Ambilight TVs discounted on Amazon over Black Friday, perhaps a Sony Bravia and some LG panels, but these will not be the OLEDs.

Amazon will also frequently price match, or even price beat, its online competitors, and we certainly saw that happen over last year’s Black Friday. Keep this in mind while you hunt for deals from various retailers, as you might be able to secure more savings this way.

At any time on its site, Amazon has three types of deals going – there’s Lightning Deals that are only available for a few hours, Deal of the Day that will last for 24 hours and regular deals that will be live for the entire sale period.

You’ll often find that Amazon’s own products, such as Echo devices, Kindles and Fire TV Sticks, will be available for the same price throughout the Black Friday to Cyber Monday weekend, but if you’re looking for other items, you’ll need to keep checking Amazon’s site – or stick with us if it's the best tech deals you're after.

There are also WOW deals to take into the equation. Amazon began to offer these during 2020’s Prime Day – these are available in very limited quantities for just 2-4 hours, and they usually come on popular items such as Apple AirPods Pro, the Nintendo Switch or premium headphones from Bose and Sony. That said, we haven't seen any WOW deals during the two 6-day Prime Day sales this year, so we can't say for certain if these will be on offer again.

It’s also worth noting that Australians will have access to select deals from the Amazon sites in other countries too – specifically the US, UK, Germany and Japan – and they’ll all be visible on our local website. There can be great value in these deals too, but just keep in mind they’ll be the international version of the product and could face shipping delays, or come with international power plugs.

What were the best Amazon Black Friday deals from 2023?
