In light of COVID-19, the retailer is taking extra precautions to ensure team members and customers are safe during their shopping experience. 

‘We want to do our best during this challenging period to allow our customers to access service, advice and product when they need it,’ it said on its website.

‘We have expanded our cleaning routines across our stores, including increased cleaning throughout the day.

‘Our teams have had additional training on maintaining good hygiene practices. To support this, stores may be operating a little differently than usual.’

All stores will allow a maximum of 100 people into each store at any given time – meaning larger stores will fall well within and smaller stores will meet the federal government’s recommendations on social distancing.

Payment via debit, credit or approved finance cards, as well as JB gift cards through our payment terminals is the preferred way to make payment in our stores. However, the store will accept cash if that is the only way you can make payment. 

Most stores are open but trading hours have changed so shoppers are advised to check the website for their local store.

A JB Hi-Fi employee has shared her top secrets to shopping at the electronics store – including getting the best discounts on products every time.

The Sydney employee took to TikTok to reveal the four ‘hacks’ you should know about.

‘Tip number one, if you want to get served as soon as possible, go to the Apple desk because I can guarantee someone will come serve you ASAP,’ she said.

‘Hack number two, if you go into the store and they don’t have the stock of the product, just tell them to transfer the stock in from another store.

‘Number three, if you want a good price, ask for a discount or a good deal because we do give discounts.

‘Last hack – don’t wear a hoodie to JB HI-FI because we are most likely going to think you’re stealing.’
