Hi guys... sorry not sure exactly how to title this (also please move to the appropriate forum if necessary).


 


I would like to buy Amazon Prime (AU) to take advantage of cheaper Prime Video/Music as well as the "free" monthly games. (Annually it's $79AUD vs >$120NZD that we currently pay just for the video) 



Just wondering if we would also get the exclusive Prime pricing even though shipping is to NZ?


I understand that free Prime shipping doesn't apply to NZ but I assume the current free shipping over $59 would still kick in?


 


Thanks all

No, Prime Video does not include Prime prices and shipping.

freitasm: No, Prime Video does not include Prime prices and shipping.

 

 

 

thanks mate. I think we're talking about two different things.

 

I'm currently on the NZ Prime Video service, but thinking of moving to the Aus shopping Prime (which also includes video) https://www.amazon.com.au/prime

 

 

 

This one has Prime prices but I was wondering if we can take advantage of those prices from here, or are they only valid if shipping to an Aus address.

The last time I checked you couldn't even sign up for Amazon Prime AU unless you had an Australian address.




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

That shouldn't be a problem as I have family over there whose address I could use for signing up.

I came to this forum to ask the exact same thing and see there is a similar thread.

 

It's literally cheaper signing up to Amazon Prime Au than paying for NZ Prime Video every month, with the added benefits that Prime has to offer - aware that shipping may not apply.

 

What did you end up doing?

Cant speak for Prime as a service but you can always get back at Amazon by claiming your free twitch prime sub each month included with your prime video subscription. ~8NZD value you can give to a streamer each monh, ~$5.60 out of amazons pocket after rev share.

I donate a Twitch subscription every month to a Geekzoner streamer.
