How to Save on New Appliances in WA — Without the Haggling

Published June 2026 · 5 min read

When the fridge dies or the washing machine finally gives up, the last thing you want is to spend your weekend driving between stores trying to beat a price. Here's how ShopRite members get a better deal on appliances — without the legwork.

Appliance prices move around more than you'd think

Two stores, same model, same week — and often a real price gap. Sales, clearance stock, end-of-line models and "we'll match that" deals mean the sticker price is rarely the final price. That's actually good news: it means there's almost always room to do better than the first number you see. The catch is that chasing it yourself takes time, phone calls, and a fair bit of confidence at the counter.

How the ShopRite buying service works

Instead of haggling on your own, you hand the legwork to us. You tell us the exact model you want and the best price you've found, and we go to our network of preferred suppliers and use members' combined buying power to beat or match it. There's no obligation — if we can't improve on your price, you've lost nothing.

It's deliberately simple:

1. Find the appliance you want and the best price you've seen.
2. Send it to us — online or in the free ShopRite app.
3. We come back with a member price, and arrange the purchase and delivery if you're happy.

What to have ready before you ask for a quote

A few details make a big difference to how sharp a price we can get you:

• The brand and model number — the exact model, not just "a 500L fridge".
• The best current price you've found, and where you saw it. Prices from well-known retailers work best, because there's more chance of sourcing the stock and proper after-sales support.
• Any timing notes — if you need it urgently, tell us.

The more precise you are, the faster and better the quote.

What's covered

It's not just the big white goods. Members save across the full range of appliance and technology discounts:

• White goods — fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, ovens and cooktops.
• Brown goods & tech — TVs, laptops, computers and a wide range of technology products.

If it plugs in, it's worth asking.

A real member example

Our fridge died after 20 years. I gave ShopRite the model and the best price I'd found — they called back within the hour having saved me $150, and the new fridge was installed and running by 4:45pm the same day.— Sam, WA member

That's the service at its best: a stressful, urgent purchase turned into one phone call and a same-day fix.

When it's urgent

Appliances never break at a convenient time. If yours has died, say so when you send the details — we can fast-track urgent requests and, where you proceed, arrange discounted delivery, so you're not living out of a camping fridge for a week.

Is it actually cheaper? An honest answer

Usually, yes — sometimes by a lot. But we'll always be straight with you: if an item is already on a sharp sale, the extra saving might be small, or it may come as a price match rather than a brand-new low. Either way, we push for the best possible deal, source the stock, and stand behind the after-sales support. You get the legwork done for you, and the confidence that you didn't overpay.
