Online Boxing Day sales start at midnight on Christmas Day

Bargain hunters will be able to access Boxing Day sales early this year, with retailers spruiking deals on Dysons, air fryers and more from midnight.

Bargain hunters can start salivating with major retailers already showcasing their Boxing Day sale items – including one outlet shaving 35 per cent off the price of a Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Shoppers will be able to start clicking away any time on Christmas Day with the sale starting online well before the stores physically open.

The discount department store also has also cut the price of a Vax from $238 to $167 and taken a $150 off the Dyson Ball Multi Floor which will now set you back $399.
