30 September 2019 – From 10am today, shoppers who have subscribed to eBay’s membership program, eBay Plus, will be able to secure $49* off their first shop as well as 5 per cent off every Coles on eBay shop** in a move to provide even greater value to Australians.
Coles on eBay is also adding delivery windows to the offering, allowing shoppers to have items delivered to their door within a chosen time frame and is increasing the range of products available to eBay’s 11-million unique monthly visitors. Shoppers can now choose from a wide range of fresh and frozen food, in addition to the thousands of everyday essentials already available across a variety of categories including pantry, beauty and household items.
Senior Director, B2C and Advertising, Kristian Haigh, says, “We’re thrilled to enter the next phase of our partnership with Coles. As Australia’s number one online shopping destination*** we pride ourselves on offering the best value and selection from grocery to tech and homewares. Now with the introduction of 5 per cent off Coles on eBay orders for Plus members, we will deliver even more everyday savings for shoppers.
“We’re seeing shopping needs change as Australians look for greater convenience. Coles on eBay shoppers prefer to shop during evenings, with Tuesday at 9pm the most common time. The most popular items have been bulk-sized essentials such as coffee and rice, as well as nappies and soft drinks. The addition of fresh and frozen food including everything from milk to bread, means customers can now do their full grocery shop on eBay from the comfort of their own couch.”
Coles Online Chief Executive Alister Jordan says, “We want to inspire our customers, through best value food and drink solutions to make their lives easier. “We know convenience and health are a priority, with Coles customers increasingly seeking to reclaim their time, with minimum compromise on freshness, quality, and flavour.
“By enhancing our partnership with eBay, we are enabling anytime, anywhere shopping, providing our customers another convenient way to access our products and have them delivered straight to their door at a time that works for them.”
eBay Plus members will continue to enjoy free delivery on orders over $49 as well as double flybuys points. There’s also a free 30-day trial for new members.
Coles on eBay is available to shoppers in metropolitan Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth with products at the same national in-store prices including Coles weekly half price deals.
The partnership gives shoppers access to Coles’ products alongside eBay’s unrivalled range of new items from tech to fashion. Coles is just one of the 40,000 Australian retailers with eBay stores including Big W, Toys R Us, Myer and The Good Guys.
