Everything you need to know about Amazon Australia's upcoming Big Smile shopping sale.

Top picks

Amazon Big Smile is an annual sales event that promises substantial savings across fashion, beauty, tech, homewares and loads more popular categories.

It is the marketplace's biggest online sale event this side of Amazon Prime Day - which means you can expect discounts of up to 70% off.

Here are the key things you need to know about the sale, including what to expect and early deals.

What is the Amazon Big Smile sale?

Amazon Big Smile sounds like a teeth whitening sale. In reality, it's a precursor to Amazon Prime Day with a similar selection of deals (albeit not on quite the same scale.)

There will be deals across all major categories with an emphasis on home appliances, apparel and tech.

When is the Amazon Big Smile Sale?

In 2022, Amazon's Big Smile Sale took place in April. However, dates vary from year to year, so our advice is to keep your eyes peeled for an earlier sales drop.

Will the Meta Quest 2 be on sale?

One of the Amazon store's most popular products is Meta Quest 2. The popular virtual-reality headset normally retails for $629.99 and is rarely on sale.

While we wouldn't bet on Amazon offering a discount during its Big Smile sale, don't rule it out completely. If a deal does materialise, it will likely take the form of a free bundled game.

What about Amazon Prime?

Amazon Prime is a premium subscription service for Amazon shoppers that costs $6.99 a month in Australia. It offers a whole host of benefits, including:

  • Free 2-day domestic delivery.
  • Free standard international delivery on eligible orders over $49.
  • Prime Video: A Netflix-style streaming service with over 2,000 titles.
  • Amazon Music: A Spotify competitor boasting 2 million songs.
  • Prime Reading: Free access to thousands of ebooks, short stories, comics and children's books via the Kindle Store.
  • Prime Gaming: Free access to a selection of PC games, with more added every month (plus free in-game loot for select titles).
  • Access to 12 subscriptions via Prime Video Channels.

You don't need to be an Amazon Prime member to take part in the Big Smile sales event. With that said, joining will grant you access to free shipping and exclusive deals.
