BIG W

BIG W ran Toy Sale 2026 from 9 June to 8 July 2026, and it has ended, so for the next sale, go through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. The sale had 1,300+ deals across LEGO, dolls, ride-ons, board games, and outdoor toys. Free 21-week lay-by is available on toys through the sale window, letting families lock in Christmas gifting from June. Average markdown sits around 25 percent with select lines up to 50 percent or more. Check the BIG W Toy Sale hub for next year's dates, and activate ShopBack Australia via the BIG W merchant page before you pay.

On mainstream toys during the annual Toy Sale window, BIG W typically undercuts Kmart and Target on branded ranges like LEGO, Barbie, Hot Wheels, and Bluey. Outside Toy Sale, Kmart usually wins on private-label toys (Anko house range) while BIG W leads on brand-name exclusives. For a like-for-like SKU compare, use the RRP as the anchor and check both BIG W and Kmart catalogues for the week.

Yes. BIG W runs a free lay-by service in-store on eligible items with 20 percent deposit and typically 60 days to pay for general merchandise, extended to 21 weeks on toys during the annual Toy Sale window. Lay-by is store-only and cannot be split across online and in-store orders.

Yes. BIG W is a Woolworths Group brand and earns Everyday Rewards points on eligible purchases, both in-store and online (1 point per $1 spent, as listed on the Everyday Rewards site in October 2026). Redemption is 2,000 points to $10 off (as listed on the Everyday Rewards site in October 2026), applied at Woolworths or through the Everyday Rewards app. Everyday Extra ($7 per month or $70 annually, as listed on the Everyday Rewards site in October 2026) unlocks 10 percent off one Woolworths shop per month and double Everyday Rewards points. Transfer partners include Qantas Frequent Flyer at 2,000 points to 1,000 Qantas Points.

BIG W's Back-to-School event typically runs from mid-January into mid-February, so the 2026 event has passed and the next one is expected in early 2027. BIG W is strong on stationery bulk, school shoes, backpacks, lunchboxes, and uniform accessories at value pricing. Compare against Kmart, Officeworks, and Target for like-for-like SKUs.

Black Friday 2026 falls on 27 November, with Cyber Monday on 30 November. BIG W typically runs sitewide percentage-off events across tech (TVs, headphones, small appliances), toys not covered by June Toy Sale, home, and homewares. Compare against Kmart, Target, Amazon Australia, and JB Hi-Fi for like-for-like SKUs. See our Black Friday 2026 buyer guide for category-by-category timing on when to buy what through the November window.

ShopBack Snaps is the Australian receipt Cashback feature in the ShopBack app. Eligibility rotates by campaign and typically covers grocery, dining, and select retail. Check the Snaps tab for current BIG W eligibility. Snaps is Australia-only.

BIG W does not run a formal promo code system on most product, so pricing is catalogue-driven through Toy Sale, Back-to-School, Black Friday, and Boxing Day, and the easy way to save is to go through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Occasional online-only codes appear via the BIG W newsletter.

Open the BIG W merchant page, click through to bigw.com.au and check out as normal. Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account.

BIG W offers standard delivery, express delivery, and Click and Collect from stores nationally. BIG W says delivery times and free delivery thresholds differ between Metro, Regional and Remote areas, and free delivery applies to items sold and delivered by BIG W. Most items in original condition can be returned with proof of purchase within BIG W's change-of-mind window, with some categories excluded, and BIG W's delivery and returns pages show the current terms.

Yes. It confirms once BIG W has validated the order.

BIG W typically leads AU big-box discount department stores on branded baby essentials (nappies, formula, wipes, feeding gear from Tommee Tippee, Philips Avent, Munchkin) with regular bulk-pack deals in-store and online, and stocks pram and car seat brands like Britax, Steelcraft and Maxi Cosi in the higher-ticket range. Everyday Rewards points earn on eligible baby-category purchases alongside any live sitewide promotion. Kmart typically wins on private-label baby clothing and Anko homeware; BIG W wins on branded formula and nappy pricing at bulk sizes.

BIG W typically runs Mother's Day promotions across the two weeks before the Australian Mother's Day (second Sunday in May), covering categories like skincare, kitchen gadgets, homeware, gift hampers, jewellery and small electronics at gift-price points. Father's Day promotions run across the two weeks before the Australian Father's Day (first Sunday in September) and skew toward tools, tech, sportswear, grooming and BBQ accessories. Everyday Rewards points earn in both windows. For online gift orders, open shopback.com.au/bigw before you check out.

BIG W Click and Collect lets you order online and pick up in-store, usually within a few hours to next day depending on stock location, at no extra fee. Because the order is placed on bigw.com.au rather than at the register, a Click and Collect order that starts from the ShopBack BIG W page earns Cashback. Open shopback.com.au/bigw first, then place the Click and Collect order on bigw.com.au.

On your phone, open BIG W from the ShopBack app and finish the order there, for delivery or Click and Collect. The current Cashback is shown on the BIG W page on ShopBack before you buy. For walk-in purchases in a BIG W store, use ShopBack Snaps on AU only by uploading the receipt in the ShopBack app on eligible lines.

BIG W is Woolworths Group's discount department store chain in Australia, selling toys, kids and baby essentials, homewares, kitchen, bedding, books, gaming, small electronics, clothing, stationery and seasonal ranges such as Christmas, with online ordering, home delivery and Click and Collect at bigw.com.au. ShopBack Australia lists BIG W as a Cashback merchant at shopback.com.au/bigw, with separate rates for BIG W's own range and Marketplace orders and a minimum order value, all shown on this page. BIG W is part of the Woolworths Group Everyday Rewards loyalty programme. It sits in the same value tier as Kmart and Target Australia and is strongest on branded toys, brand groceries and Christmas according to ShopBack's three-way comparison.

The ShopBack BIG W page carries three things. First, Cashback: separate categories for BIG W's own range and for Marketplace orders, each with a minimum order value and the rate shown on this page, paid after confirmation to your bank account or PayPal. Second, gift cards: ShopBack lists a BIG W gift card in the gift card hub at shopback.com.au/gift-cards. Third, an upsize: when an upsize runs, the higher rate shows on this page as an Upsized label next to the category.

Your effective price is what you pay at checkout minus the Cashback that comes back. Work it out as the order total excluding tax minus Cashback at the rate shown on ShopBack's BIG W page, which also lists the minimum order value. A single small item, such as one book, can sit under that minimum, so adding a second item helps reach it. Cashback is paid to your ShopBack balance after confirmation and withdrawn to your bank account or PayPal.

ShopBack lists a BIG W gift card at shopback.com.au/ecommerce/skugroup/sbv_bigwgiftcards, which is a separate way to save at BIG W. For Cashback on a BIG W order, go through ShopBack before you pay.

Tracked BIG W orders normally appear as Pending in your ShopBack account within minutes to a couple of days of checkout. Confirmation comes after BIG W's return window on the order has closed and BIG W has validated the sale, which for a 90-day returns policy typically means two to three months after purchase. The ShopBack BIG W page notes that Cashback may track at a different rate initially and is adjusted to the correct rate when the transaction details are confirmed. Confirmed Cashback is withdrawn to your bank account or PayPal from the ShopBack app.

The current Cashback is shown on the BIG W page on ShopBack.

Yes. Linking your Everyday Rewards card to earn points on a BIG W online order is separate from ShopBack, so points and Cashback at the rate shown can earn together. Earn points on the order, settle it by card or PayPal, and go through ShopBack before you pay so the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account.

There is no sitewide BIG W promo code to rely on, so go through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. BIG W's savings come from its catalogue pricing, and Everyday Rewards is BIG W's own loyalty programme through Woolworths Group. The current Cashback is shown on ShopBack's BIG W page at shopback.com.au/bigw before you buy.

Kmart. ShopBack's Kmart vs Target vs Big W 2026 guide finds Kmart wins on absolute price for most household basics, with BIG W roughly 5 to 15 percent above Kmart on similar items and Target Australia roughly 10 to 25 percent above Kmart but with better fabrics and finishes. BIG W takes the win when the basket includes branded groceries and consumables (Heinz, Cadbury, Tim Tams), toys, trampolines or Christmas decorations, where it is often the cheapest of the three. Target wins on apparel quality and homewares aesthetic. If you are already in the Woolworths ecosystem, Everyday Rewards points tilt a mixed basket toward BIG W.

Kmart on price, BIG W on range. ShopBack's back-to-school comparison puts Kmart lowest on a primary-school starter kit and a two-child full kit, BIG W in the middle and Target Australia highest. BIG W carries the widest stationery range of the three, which cuts booklist gap-fills at Officeworks. None of the three stocks booklist textbooks. During the back-to-school sales, the sale price is what you pay at checkout. Going through ShopBack before you pay is an essential step, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. Check the rate shown on ShopBack's BIG W page before you buy.

BIG W for branded essentials. ShopBack's baby nursery 2026 comparison gives BIG W the widest pram range (Silver Cross, Steelcraft, Redsbaby, Uppababy) at roughly A$199 for entry 3-wheelers to A$1,400 for double prams, the widest baby monitor selection (25 to 35 SKUs from Angelcare, Motorola, Nanit, VTech and Owlet at A$69 to A$499), and 0-4 convertible car seats from InfaSecure and Britax at A$189 to A$249, against Kmart's Aero from A$179 and Target's Mothers Choice from A$199. Kmart wins on private-label nursery homewares and cot bedding; Target wins on aesthetic-first pieces and baby apparel.

BIG W sells nappies, wipes, formula, feeding gear (Tommee Tippee, Philips Avent, Munchkin), prams and car seats (Britax, Steelcraft, Maxi Cosi, InfaSecure, Silver Cross, Redsbaby, Uppababy), baby monitors (Angelcare, Motorola, Nanit, VTech, Owlet), cots and nursery furniture, kids clothing and shoes. Nappies, wipes, feeding gear, prams, car seats, monitors and furniture generally earn Cashback on online orders when you go through ShopBack before you pay. BIG W partners with Airtasker for paid assembly on cots and change tables, typically A$80 to A$150 quoted at delivery per ShopBack's 2026 nursery guide.

BIG W homewares cover bedding, quilt covers, towels, kitchenware, small appliances, storage, bathroom and seasonal decor at value pricing. Per ShopBack's comparison, BIG W homewares sit a little above Kmart on similar items and below Target Australia, which has a more curated finish. BIG W wins the homewares basket when it is combined with toys, brand groceries or Christmas decor in one order, or when Everyday Rewards points matter. Online homewares orders that meet the minimum order value earn Cashback at the rate shown on ShopBack's BIG W page.

BIG W sells PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles, games and accessories plus digital and physical gift cards including Roblox. Non-branded gaming accessories such as headsets, third-party controllers and gaming chairs earn at the rate shown on ShopBack's BIG W page on orders that meet the minimum order value. For consoles, compare JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys on ShopBack, and for a Roblox card, check the ShopBack gift card hub.

Yes for new releases and kids books. BIG W is one of Australia's larger mass-market book discounters, ranging new-release fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks and children's titles online and in store, often below RRP. Start online book orders from shopback.com.au/bigw before you pay. For out-of-print or specialist titles, compare Amazon Australia at shopback.com.au/amazon-australia.

Yes. BIG W ranges artificial trees, ornaments, lights and outdoor decor from October, and ShopBack's 2026 comparison gives BIG W the outright win on tree range, decoration breadth and lights, pricing a 6-foot artificial tree, full ornament set and outdoor solar lights at A$120 to A$200 at BIG W against A$100 to A$180 at Kmart with a thinner range and A$180 to A$260 at Target. The sharpest pricing usually lands around Black Friday and Cyber Monday in late November, with Boxing Day clearance from 26 December for next year. Christmas decor earns ShopBack Cashback at the rate shown on online orders with an order total greater than A$51 excluding tax.

Yes. The ShopBack BIG W page lists a Marketplace category alongside BIG W's own range, with the Marketplace rate shown there. Products shipped by BIG W trusted partners are covered separately in the Terms and exclusions section on that page, so check the seller and shipping line on the product page and read that section before you buy third-party items.

Usually not on its own. A single small toy or book can sit under the minimum order value in the Terms and exclusions section on ShopBack's BIG W page, so bundle items to reach it, use Click and Collect to avoid a delivery fee on the bigger basket, or buy the small item in store and check ShopBack Snaps for a receipt offer. For small orders where Cashback matters, Target Australia on ShopBack is the comparison point.

Pick BIG W for branded toys and LEGO in the June to July Toy Sale, for back-to-school stationery breadth, for branded baby essentials, for Christmas trees and decorations, and for a mixed basket where Everyday Rewards points add value, as an online order started from shopback.com.au/bigw. Look elsewhere for major console brands (JB Hi-Fi or The Good Guys on ShopBack instead), for gift cards (use the ShopBack gift card hub), for in-store-only lay-by purchases, and for pure household basics on price, where Kmart wins per ShopBack's comparison.

An Apple Watch is usually cheapest at a large Australian retailer running a sale on the model you want, because Apple's own store rarely discounts. Apple suits shoppers who want every size, band and cellular option. Discount department stores such as BIG W carry a narrower range of current and previous models and can mark them down in catalogue and big sale events, which suits buyers happy with a standard band and colour. Previous generations are usually where the deepest markdowns appear. Compare the final price, return window and warranty path before you buy, and see our Apple vs JB Hi-Fi vs Officeworks comparison for how Apple pricing works across retailers. The current Cashback is shown on the ShopBack BIG W page before you buy, so go through ShopBack before you pay.

Kmart is usually cheaper on everyday basics, while BIG W is often cheaper on branded products such as toys, books and seasonal ranges during its sale events. Kmart builds its range around its own house brands at low everyday prices, so a basket of homewares, clothing and basics generally costs less there. BIG W stocks more name brands such as LEGO, Barbie and major baby and kitchen labels, and its catalogue sales are where those brands get marked down. Families buying branded gifts, or a mixed basket that also earns Everyday Rewards points, often come out ahead at BIG W; shoppers chasing the lowest shelf price on basics usually pick Kmart. Our Kmart vs Target vs BIG W comparison breaks it down by category. Check the Cashback rate on the ShopBack BIG W page and activate it before you check out.

Cheap AirPods usually come from big Australian retailers during a sale, since Apple itself sells at full recommended price. Discount department stores such as BIG W stock the core AirPods range and tend to mark it down in catalogue events and major sale periods like Black Friday, which suits shoppers who want a standard model and an easy in-store return. Specialist electronics retailers usually carry every model and colour, and Apple is the place for engraving. Older generations are where the deepest markdowns usually appear, so confirm which generation you are comparing before you decide. See our Apple vs JB Hi-Fi vs Officeworks comparison for how Apple products are priced across retailers. The current Cashback is shown on the ShopBack BIG W page before you buy, so go through ShopBack before you pay.

The cheapest PS5 in Australia is usually the Digital Edition bought during a major sale or bundle promotion at a big retailer, because base console prices rarely move outside those events. The Digital Edition has no disc drive, so it suits players who buy games online. The disc version suits anyone who buys, trades or resells physical games, which can lower the true cost over time. A bundle that includes a game can beat the console alone if you wanted that game anyway. BIG W stocks PS5 consoles, so compare its sale price with other retailers, and see our PS5 Pro vs Xbox Series X vs Switch 2 guide to pick the right console. The current Cashback is shown on the ShopBack BIG W page before you buy, so go through ShopBack before you pay.

The cheapest iPhone at any moment is whichever retailer is running a sale on the exact model and storage size you want, so compare Apple, the big electronics and department stores, and carrier plans on the same day. Apple rarely discounts, so outright buyers usually do better at a retailer during a sale event. Plan buyers should compare the total cost over the whole contract, not the monthly figure. Previous models and smaller storage sizes are usually the biggest savings. BIG W carries a smaller Apple range, so check it stocks your model before comparing. Our iPhone total cost comparison and Apple vs JB Hi-Fi vs Officeworks guide show how each option adds up. The current Cashback is shown on the ShopBack BIG W page before you buy, so go through ShopBack before you pay.

The cheapest way to buy an iPhone in Australia is usually to buy it outright from a retailer during a sale, pair it with a SIM-only plan, and choose the previous model or a smaller storage size if it covers your needs. Carrier plans spread the cost into monthly payments, which suits people who want no upfront spend, but the total over the contract is often higher. Trading in your old phone, buying in a retailer sale and going through ShopBack before you pay can cut the outright cost further. Shoppers who want the newest model on launch day usually pay the most. Our iPhone total cost comparison works through each route. The current Cashback is shown on the ShopBack BIG W page before you buy, so go through ShopBack before you pay.

The cheapest PS5 controller is usually a standard DualSense in a basic colour bought during a sale, or a licensed third-party controller, which costs less but may skip haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Players who want the full PS5 experience should stick with a DualSense; special colours and the DualSense Edge cost more and suit enthusiasts. A wired third-party pad suits a spare controller for a younger player or a second player on the couch. Prices move with sale events, so compare the live price on the product page rather than an old quote. See our PS5 Pro vs Xbox Series X vs Switch 2 guide for the wider console picture. The current Cashback is shown on the ShopBack BIG W page before you buy, so go through ShopBack before you pay.

The cheapest Nintendo Switch in Australia is usually the Switch Lite, which plays in handheld mode only, while the Switch 2 costs the most and suits players who want the newest games. The Switch Lite suits younger kids and solo travel play. The original Switch and the OLED model add TV play and detachable controllers, which suits families sharing one console. The Switch 2 is the pick if you want new releases and better performance. Bundles with a game or during big sale events often beat buying the console alone. BIG W stocks Nintendo consoles, so compare its sale price against other retailers, and see our PS5 Pro vs Xbox Series X vs Switch 2 guide. The current Cashback is shown on the ShopBack BIG W page before you buy, so go through ShopBack before you pay.

The best deal on AirPods is the model that matches how you listen, bought during a major sale, not simply the lowest sticker price. Entry AirPods suit casual listening and calls. Models with active noise cancellation suit commuters and frequent flyers. AirPods Pro suit anyone who wants the best noise cancellation and a secure fit for exercise. Previous generations are often the best value if you do not need the newest features. Count the return window, warranty and any Cashback when you compare offers, not just the shelf price. Our Apple vs JB Hi-Fi vs Officeworks comparison explains how Apple products are priced across retailers. The current Cashback is shown on the ShopBack BIG W page before you buy, so go through ShopBack before you pay.

According to BIG W at the time of writing, standard delivery is free when you spend over $59 in Metro areas or over $99 in Regional and Remote areas, on items sold and delivered by BIG W. Smaller orders pay a standard delivery fee of $8 in Metro or $10 in Regional and Remote areas. In store Pick up is free at every BIG W store, and Direct to boot Pick up is free at selected stores, so collecting is the simplest way to skip the fee on a small order. Start from the ShopBack BIG W page before you check out. ShopBack lowers the effective price of flights, hotels and online orders after you pay, and a BIG W order is one of them.

According to BIG W's delivery offer terms, free standard delivery does not apply to an order that contains any product sold by a BIG W Trusted Partner, any pre-order product or any product sold via Marketplace, even when the order is over the spend threshold. Some categories are excluded, and fragile or bulky items usually cost more to deliver. The exact delivery fee shows in your cart before you pay, and BIG W says the offer can change without notice, so keep Marketplace and pre-order items in a separate order if you want the rest to ship free.

Yes. According to BIG W, In store Pick up is free at all its stores: order before 12pm to collect after 4pm the same day, or order after 12pm to collect the next day. Direct to boot Pick up is also free at selected stores, with the same cut-off times. If you need it delivered quickly instead, BIG W's Same Day Delivery, powered by DoorDash, costs $10 in Metro and $12 in Regional areas on eligible products, with orders placed before midday arriving the same day.

Usually it is three steps together: build a basket over BIG W's free delivery threshold or choose free Pick up, shop one of BIG W's sale events, and open the ShopBack BIG W page before you check out. Going through ShopBack is an essential step before you check out at BIG W, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. Your effective price is what you pay at checkout minus the Cashback that comes back, at the rate shown on ShopBack's BIG W page; the minimum order value is listed there too.
