Is anyone else going to look for something on Amazon when they launch tomorrow?

I've been after one of those orange coolers to convert to a mash tun. They're hard to find in Australia and when you do find them they're ridiculously expensive compared to the price in the US. I've been hoping Amazon will sell them here and at a reasonable price. Do you think they will have anything else brewing related the would be worth checking out?

I have a funny feeling that anything usefull will still not ship to Australia. Its all a bit of hype me thinks.

Or at least at first it will be a limited selection.

The fact is, Australia doesn't have a big enough market for Amazon to store warehouses full of obscure items.

I doubt it will ever be anything like in the US. It would be good if they can make shipping to Aus cheaper somehow, even if its slower.

A year or so ago a neighbour put a huge one on the nature strip... silly me didn't think to pick it up. (wasn't brewing then) had a look for something similar on ebay and found this:

You also dont need to use a round one. Normal style eskies are way easier to find at a reasonable price and are just as effective.

Nice find though, wonder what they will go for... They are expensive new.

I do believe that their Melbourne warehouse is the biggest warehouse in Australia. Something like 24,000 square metres.

I have a glut of tomatoes and desperately need one of these to make salads and sandwiches for SWMBO and myself. I hope Amazon have a cheaper version and can freight to Northern NSW.

With commissions comparable with ebay I'm sure the same things will be on each site.

Thanks heaps for the link! I've been watching ebay and gumtree for a while now but for some reason my searches didn't return them.

Do you need a lid? We could go halvies in the ones on ebay. You could take the ones without lids and I'll take the other one...

I designed a warehouse in Brisbane at 60,000 m2 and I believe there is still bigger in Australia...just FYI

If you want a similar (or better) one, 35L for $189 and made in OZ, check out the Techniice drink dispenser.

Jeff Bezos seems like a nice guy, but even if he was a prick, I'd still enjoy cutting e bay out of the loop.

Well that was a giant flop.

Apparently it will open next week.

I heard on the radio this morning that it was fully operational. They were also talking about how they treat their workers. Maybe thats a topic for the Woolworths thread [emoji38]

So Amazon Australia finally launched. Thought I'd have a look to see if any brew related gear.

Found this https://www.amazon.com.au/Brewing-H...8?ie=UTF8&qid=1512437159&sr=8-8&keywords=brew
- no idea if it's any good or how the price compares.

This on the other hand is ridiculous https://www.amazon.com.au/Round-Pla...?ie=UTF8&qid=1512437186&sr=8-28&keywords=brew

6 airlocks for $26 but surely they should come with kittens https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/offer-...ipping?ie=UTF8&f_freeShipping=true&f_new=true

Then got bored. Ho hum.
