Martin Lewis’ MoneySavingExpert reveals ‘hidden’ Amazon store where you can snap up returned items for bargain sum
MARTIN Lewis’ Money Saving Expert team has shared one way you can save cash online shopping.
The store is a “hidden” platform offered by one of the biggest online retailers in the world – Amazon.
MSE reveals that shoppers looking for bargains should check out Amazon Warehouse.
This is the site where Amazon sells returned and slightly damaged goods at a discounted price.
MSE posted on X that: “Amazon Warehouse sells returned or mildly damaged items on the cheap AND we’ve a tool to help you find the hidden bargains.”
The tool is a search bar where deal hunters can look for the best priced and quality items on Amazon Warehouse.
On the Amazon Warehouse website, the store says it “thoroughly checks the quality of each item” and inspects all the products before reselling them.
That means shoppers can get decent quality items for only a fraction of the price.
Amazon Warehouse also rates the condition of the listing as “very good”, “like new”, “good”, or “acceptable” so shoppers can expect the quality of their purchase.
Money Saving Expert revealed shoppers are likely to not get any warranty on the products, but would still have some consumer rights on their purchase.
Currently a pair of second generation Apple AirPods in an acceptable used condition sells for £173.86.
A new pair of second generation AirPods sells for £229 from Apple.
MSE posted one testimonial on X where a shopper was able to save money on a purchase.
The shopper said: “I never knew about Amazon Warehouse until Martin’s newsletter. Just purchased a what-looks-like-new Exho Show 8 camera, normally £110, for £55. Marvellous!”
Amazon-wide discounts like Prime Day will also run on top of the lower prices, so shoppers can even save more money.
Martin Lewis reveals Ring doorbell’s 43% price hike
Martin Lewis has shared a way to avoid Ring doorbell’s upcoming subscription price hikes.
The Amazon-owned firm has faced fury from customers after it announced that the cost of the Protect Basic plan will jump by 43 per cent in March.
From March 11, subscribers paying monthly will now have to pay £4.99 instead of £3.49 – up by £1.50.
And those who opt to pay for a year upfront face a £15 rise, from £34.99 to £49.99 for the 12 months.
Martin Lewis says users can cancel today and they’ll receive a pro-rata refund for the rest of their subscription – it’s penalty free too.
You can then take out an annual subscription for the current price of £34.99 before March 11 when it’ll go up to £49.99.
However, he does warn that this move could result in saved videos being lost, so be sure to check first and consider your options.
