Amazon Australia announces last chance to shop for Christmas

Amazon Australia has significantly invested in and expanded its operations network in 2024 to enable a seamless, faster, and more reliable shopping experience for customers. In fact, between January 2024 and early 2026 Amazon Australia will have invested $1.6 billion opening five new operational sites, which will create an additional 4,500 jobs once fully operational. Additionally, to prepare for the various holiday shopping events, Amazon Australia onboarded 600 seasonal workers, to help pick, pack and ship customer orders across its fulfilment centres and logistics sites nationwide.

This means that even more Amazon customers around Australia are now able to access an even better delivery experience, including faster delivery, delivery on evenings and weekends, and reattempted deliveries for customers when they are not home. Now the majority of Prime members across the country can rely on next-day delivery on more than one million items, and in Sydney it’s now as fast as Same-Day.

In addition to delivery at home, customers can choose to have their orders delivered to one of more than 900 pick-up points, including Amazon Lockers and Counters, located in cities and towns around Australia including Townsville in Queensland, Rockingham in Western Australia and New Town in Tasmania.
