Click Frenzy Mayhem: List of best deals still available

Shoppers may have been frustrated last night as the Click Frenzy website crashed, but now there are still plenty of huge discounts up for grabs.

Like clockwork, the Click Frenzy site crashed on Tuesday night leaving shoppers frustrated but the site appears back up and running today and a number of the huge discounts are still available.

Despite the glitch, the sales campaign said it smashed its previous record for traffic in the first hour, up 70 per cent from last year.

The event is famous for its 99 per cent discount on popular items as part of its Go Nuts deals, including an iPhone 11 for $12 and Macbook Air for $17.

WHAT IS CLICK FRENZY?

The sale launched in November 2012 and has become internationally recognised as Australia’s iconic online shopping event, with its main event occurring in November each year as well as May.

WHEN DOES IT START?

More than 2000 items from some of the world’s leading brands were made available from 7pm on Tuesday and will be live for 53 hours, closing at midnight on Thursday.

The Click Frenzy Mayhem, which includes the sale of some items slashed by 99 per cent, will offer rare relief for many households struggling with the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Click Frenzy is a popular but controversial sales event.

There are also sales on fitness brands such as Lorna Jane, Asics and New Balance and for offers for pet owners.

A sneak peak of the deals was revealed by news.com.au on Monday, including a HP 13” touchscreen laptop reduced by 20 per cent to $960.

Other deals include: Reebok at 40 per cent off, Bose headphones and speakers available at half price, nearly 60 per cent off wine sold through Cellarmasters and Athlete’s Foot will have women’s shoes from Asics, Nike and Brooks at up to 40 per cent off.

Other discounts will be through Barbecues Galore, Adore Beauty, Ugg boots and Thomas Sabo jewellery and watches sold at 20 per cent off.

But while discretionary categories such as fashion and footwear might be less attractive for cash-strapped shoppers, household and office products will remain vital particularly for those needing to upgrade their home working station, according to QUT Business School professor Gary Mortimer.

“We know that more people than ever before are choosing to shop online,” he told news.com.au.

“However, right now consumers are genuinely concerned about paying down debt and saving money, not necessarily spending money on discretionary types of purchases.

“We’re more concerned with paying the rent next week or servicing our mortgage, not particularly a new pair of boots or a new winter coat.”

HOW TO GET THE GO NUTS DEALS

While there will be a huge range of discounts available during the sale, the chances of scoring one of Click Frenzy Mayhem’s coveted 99 per cent off deals are slim.

Anyone can access the sale now until midnight AEST tomorrow.

This year, the process to secure a 99 per cent off deal will be slightly different:

1. You must be logged into your Click Frenzy account during the event.

2. Make sure you’ve accurately completed your address details in your account profile, as this is where your Go Nuts purchase will be shipped if you are successful.

3. Logged in users will receive a pop-up notification each time a Go Nuts deal goes live. This notification will include a question that you will need to answer within 30 minutes. The pop-up will appear on your screen no matter what page you are on in the site.

4. Answers will be ranked by accuracy first, speed second.

5. If you are successful, you will be contacted via mobile from Click Frenzy with a unique discount code to complete your purchase at a 99 per cent discount.

6. You must complete your purchase before the end of the Click Frenzy event.
