Australian Christmas Delivery Cut-Off Dates

If you’re the kind of person that hates crowds (me), shopping (me) and can’t deal with Christmas carols all day long (me) – then online is the way to get your Christmas shopping done. The only caveat is making sure your deliveries arrive on time. Here are those all-important dates for JB Hi-Fi, Amazon Australia, Big W, Kmart and more.

Tech

Most consumer tech retailers including Amazon Australia, Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi have same-day or three-hour delivery options, so these will be good for any last minute gifts. Just remember that Christmas falls on a Monday and these options are not available on the weekend. Thus, the last day is December 22.

EB Games: Though no formal recommendations appear on site, standard Delivery I would recommend by December 15 for all Metro areas. You can get Express delivery, which will allow for next-day delivery for Metro areas.

Bose: December 15 (WA, NT, Far North QLD, TAS), December 18 (Adelaide, Regional VIC, Regional NSW, South QLD), December 19 (Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney)

Sonos: Ship day of order if placed before 12pm. No explicit date but would suggest giving three or four days for delivery. December 18 at a guess.

Sony: December 15 (NSW, ACT, QLD, VIC) December 12 (SA, WA, NT, TAS)

Microsoft: December 18

Department stores:

The big department stores have been lifting their game over the past couple of years but you’re still looking at a wait of a week or more for some. If you’re planning to buy from Big W or Kmart, Click & Collect is a safer bet.
