What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We have recorded in a lot of places, Stephen. We have. This would be the loudest, and it'll be hard for people to hear because the microphones are such good quality. We've recorded in loud places before. Where's the loudest place we've recorded? Like launch events? Nah, this is louder. This would be. We are, and we foreshadowed this program earlier in the week. We told people that we were going to be coming out here to Amazon's Fulfillment Warehouse in Kemp's Creek in Sydney. It's one of their biggest and most robotic warehouses. This is a very, very big facility. Oh, it's crazy. It is huge.
What is Amazon Prime Day and why is it significant?
I said to Jackson, if we get time, because Jackson's here helping us out, if we get time after we're done, I have to take him upstairs to see what's going on. Yeah, of course. Well, they do tours here. You can do a tour of this place. They do real tours. Today's tour is going to see the two blokes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Part of the tour today. I wonder if there'll be a tour today. I think there will be. They normally have a morning tour, which is, I think, around now. You'll see them filtering through. They might ask you for autographs and say, it's Trevor Long from the Today Show at Amazon. Yeah, good. Not this morning. Give me your autograph. I said no, and then they called him. Anyway. Yeah. I said, I'm with the knucklehead that you called originally.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, we are here at Amazon for a special edition. Two blokes talking Amazon Prime Day here from Amazon's Fulfillment Centre.
Welcome to Two Blokes Talking Tech.
Not a bad price.
With Trevor Long from EFTM.com.
How does Amazon's fulfillment process work?
Really handy device. And Stephen Fenwick from techguide.com.au.
Stephen, so the reason I thought this was a really cool thing to do is because we're not just going to talk about Amazon Fulfillment. We will. We'll talk about this place a little bit. We're going to talk about Prime Day because if you're listening at the time of publishing, Prime Day is literally this week coming. But even if you're listening down the track, Prime Day happens every year. It's all about sales. It's an event. It's all about, you know. For me, it's a kind of demonstration of Amazon's logistics powers, right? They can literally switch on a huge sale and people can be clicking and shopping and have that, you know, same day, sub-same day, next day delivery. It's funny, you know, when I told people we're on our way here today and I told people I did a couple of interviews and my usual rate of interviews and I said, I'm going out to Amazon.
I said, oh. The first reaction was, I love Amazon. I love it how I can order something and it's on my doorstep. I said, well, I'm going to the place where they probably send that stuff, mate. We're going to be here.
Yeah.
So Prime Day is one of the biggest shopping events of the year, but it's exclusive for Amazon Prime members. Prime members. You know, that's a really important thing to talk about for a minute because it feels like for some people, Amazon Prime is a membership that gets you next day or same day delivery, right? Yes. But for some people, Amazon Prime membership is, you know, Reacher. Yeah, Prime Video Services, right? Or Prime Amazon Music as well. A lot of people don't read those. There's a book. Yeah, that's right. Amazon Reading, yeah. There's a bunch that you get. And I think we've said this before on Two Blokes. Amazon Prime. is probably the best value subscription out there. Absolutely, yeah. I think it's, what is it, $9.99 a month and you get the free delivery, you get all these other extras as well.
So, yeah, and we should point out that Prime Day is so big that it now goes over a week. It's not just a day. Every day is Prime Day from Tuesday through to the following Monday. That's right. So it's... It's happening for a week. It's gotten so big. Was it ever just a single day? I don't know. Maybe it was. And they probably thought, you know what, this is so we need to make it longer. But literally you could be online at midnight 01, you know, so one minute past midnight on Tuesday the 7th and the discounts will fly.
