Two Blokes Talking Amazon Prime Day - what is it, shopping tips, behind the scenes at Amazon

We have recorded in a lot of places Steven. We have. This would be the loudest and it'll be hard for people to hear because the microphones are such good loud places before.

Where's the loudest place we've recorded? Events, events, like launch events? No, this is louder. This would be.

We are, and we foreshadowed this program earlier in the week. We told people that we were going to be coming out here to Amazon's Fulfillment Warehouse in Kemp's Creek in Sydney. It's one of their biggest and most robotic warehouses.

This is a very, very big facility. Oh, it's crazy. It is huge. I said to Jackson, if we get time,

because Jackson's here helping us out, we get time after we're done, I have to take him upstairs to see what's going on. Of course, yeah, of course, yeah.

But no, I have to say, well they do tours here. You can do a tour of this place. They do real tours. Today's tour is gonna see the two bloats.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't have a tour today. I wonder if there'll be a tour today. I don't know if you will.

They normally have a morning tour, which is, I think around now, you'll see them filtering through. They might come in and ask you for autographs.

I say, let's travel off with a today show in Amazon. Yeah, good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not this morning. I said no autograph. I said no and then they called him. Anyway.

Yeah, I said I'm with I'm with the knucklehead that you called originally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, we are here at Amazon for a special edition, Two Blokes Talking Amazon Prime Day here from Amazon's fulfillment center. Welcome to Two Blokes Talking Tech. Not about price.

With Trevor Long from eftm.com. Really handy device. And Steven Fennec from techguide.com.au Stephen, this is, I mean this is a, so the reason I say, I thought this was a really cool thing to do is because we're not just going to talk about Amazon fulfillment.

We will. We'll talk about this place a little bit. We're going to talk about Prime Day because if you're listening at the time of publishing, this Prime Day is literally this week coming.

Yep. But even if you're listening down the track, Prime Day happens every year. It's all about sales. It's all about, you know, for me, it's, it's a kind of demonstration of Amazon's

logistics powers, right? Absolutely. on a huge sale and people can be clicking and shopping and have that, you know, same day, sub-same day, next day delivery.

It's funny, you know, when I told people we're on our way here today and I told people I did a couple interviews and my usual radio interviews and I said, I'm going out to Amazon. I said, oh, the first reaction was I love Amazon. Yeah.

I love it how I can order something. It's on my doorstep. I said, well, I'm going to the place where they probably send that stuff, mate. We're going to be here.

Yeah. is the big one of the biggest shopping events of the year, but it's exclusive for Amazon Prime members. You know that's a really important thing to talk about for a minute because It feels like for some people Amazon Prime is a membership to get you next day or same-day delivery, right?

But for some people Amazon Prime membership is you know, Reacher Or Prime Amazon music as well. I love people There's a book. Yeah, there's a bunch that you get And I think we've said this before on two blocks.

Amazon Prime is probably the best value subscription out there. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, I think it's what is it? Nine, 99 a month and you get the free delivery.

You get all these other extras as well. So yeah. And we should point out that Prime Day is so big that it's now goes over a week.

Yeah. It's not just a day. Every day is Prime Day event. From Tuesday through to the following Monday. That's right.

it's happening for a week, it's gotten so big. Was it ever just a single day? I don't know, maybe it was. And they probably thought, you know,

this is so we need to make it longer. But literally you could be online at midnight 01, you know? So one minute past midnight on Tuesday the 7th and the discount will come.

And I'll tell you how specific it is. I'm doing a Today Show segment on Prime Day, right? And we won't know the deals until Prime Day starts. Yeah, okay, of course, of course.

Like that's how big it is that retailers, the people that sell their refining their deals right down to the minute. And later on in this show, we're going to talk to someone from Amazon. We're also going to talk to someone who sells on Amazon because I think that is

probably one of the sort of the bread and butter of this place is in a selling their products. Yeah. This is, this is not Amazon selling Amazon products.

There's a bunch of Amazon originals here. Of course. But there's also a bunch of Aussie small businesses who use Amazon for their fulfillment.

And that's how they get their products to market. So you got to, you got to remember it's not only that reach. A lot of Aussie businesses are taking part in Prime Day and use these possibilities all year round but we should also mention that this isn't

just limited to small Aussie businesses. We're talking Apple, Samsung, Roborock, Lego, all these. Is that what you're shopping on Prime Day? Maybe, yeah maybe. He still sends me a text every three weeks with a photo of Lego saying still your fault. Yeah every time I buy something I take a

photo, like a hostage photo of Senator Trev. MetaQuest, Sony, SodaStream, oh SodaStream. But also too, if you're after an Amazon device like a Kindle, Ring, FlyTV and Echo Speaker, they're going to be a part of the sale as well. I think a lot of people are very narrow in their Amazon shopping because it's like I know I can get this thing on Amazon, but when you realise

that Amazon is electronics, which we love, beauty, skincare, books, homeware, fashion, books toys, household appliances. It's like it's every day of singles as well. Yes, it's going to be available. And again, if you're a prime member, you're going to know about it. There's going to be once you hit that homepage, you're going to see a lot of deals.

Here's the thing. I think the sneakiest trick of all on Prime Day, what's that tip,
