All electronics sold by authorised Australian retailers come with the manufacturer's warranty — typically 12–24 months. Additionally, all products sold in Australia are covered by the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), which provides additional protection beyond the manufacturer's warranty.

Australian-stock products are officially imported and supported by local distributors, meaning full manufacturer warranty support in Australia. Grey-market (parallel import) products may be cheaper but can have limited or no local warranty support. Always check if the retailer is an authorised dealer.

The biggest sales events in Australia are Black Friday/Cyber Monday (late November), Boxing Day, EOFY (End of Financial Year, June), and Amazon Prime Day (July). Use our price history chart to see how prices have moved over time and decide if waiting is worthwhile.

Products sold through major Australian retailers (JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, etc.) will include Australian-standard Type I power adapters. If you're unsure, check the product listing or contact the retailer directly before purchasing.

Change-of-mind returns are at each retailer's discretion and vary by store policy. However, if the product is faulty, doesn't match the description, or isn't fit for purpose, you have rights under Australian Consumer Law regardless of the retailer's stated policy.

PriceHound automatically scans major Australian retailers multiple times daily, comparing prices in real-time. We track price history so you can see if a deal is genuinely good or just looks like one.

We update prices multiple times per day. However, retailer prices can change at any time. Always confirm the final price on the retailer's website before completing your purchase. The 'Last checked' timestamp on each listing shows how recently we verified the price.

No — PriceHound is a price comparison service. When you click 'Go to Store', you're taken directly to the retailer's website to complete the purchase. We don't handle payments or orders.
