Duty Free TIPS / Discounts / Questions

[serfty]

Presume you're pre-ordering before 31 Jan, as that's when the voucher is set to expire?

Yep ... and done ...

Mind you, I'm sure another code will be available soon enough ...

BTW, many overseas ports are often less expensive even without F1rst's 10% / $10 discounts.

However, I am coming in from HKG and in this case it's cheaper to use BNE. If I was inbound to MEL I would be utilising 20% discounts.

If I was inbound from NZ, then I'd be buying it there.

Here's a tip for those flying in to MEL International in the next month or so:

I've been buying in MEL arrivals a lot lately.

This is solely due the the 20% discount coupons available from Skybus counters. The current version is valid until Feb 28th and only at Melbourne Arrivals Duty Free.

Level 1, T2

It's 5% for "Electrical".

The new ones are out and aare valid until August 31st - Still 20% or 5% off purchases.

Are these only for MEL inbound purchases? Can they be used for MEL outbound purchases as well?

Inbound only - and not for pre-orders.

Quite cunning in a few ways; they make them hard to see and use.

They are at the bottom of a small sheet of Skybus vouchers are about 5cm x 1cm so hard to see/find.

That's a shame. I don't have and international arrivals planned for MEL.

I coming in through SYD from NRT later next month and cannot find any discounts for that place.

I guess I'll just have to see what I can get in NRT ...

Promotion code SAC105399 is still valid next month if ordering online and purchasing >$100....

Sorry if I've missed something but are these vouchers to be picked up departing MEL or somewhere near the Duty Free shop on arrrival?

Does the 20% include booze?

They are Skybus vouchers available from Skybus counters so I do not think you will be able to pick up the vouchers somewhere near the duty free on arrival.

Does the 20% include booze?

Yes but only 5% on electrical.

As JohnK posted, you need to pick these up before departing Australia.

They are available at the skybus Kiosks in Spencer St and MEL T1 / T 3.
