20% off Amazon warehouse deals Europe (open box and pre-owned)

Mr Arrior · 25-11-2016 07:13PM

Are most of these pre owned goods?

Soarer · 25-11-2016 08:14PM

They'd be pre-sold.

Like you buy something and you don't like the colour of it, so you send it back. The item is perfect, but can't be sold as a new item anymore. So it gets sold through the warehouse.
Somethings might've been used for a day or two, and would be classed as "used - good" or whatever.

Just got a pair of plantronics backbeat pro's, amazing bluetooth headphones for 95 euro. Couldn't say no

My impulse was an electric blue UE Megaboom "Used - Like New" for £99 delivered.

It'd be rude not to like.

My Moto G Play arrived today, like new except the box was opened, £91

Soarer · 25-11-2016 09:50PM

Was thinking of picking one of them up for the ol' fella. What is the Play like? Does the lack of gyro affect it much?

Just to add to this.
Sometimes the boxes get scuffed in transit or are opened for security checks, and they are sold too.
I believe that some are even returned unopened and untouched, and have to be opened to check

So they are sold as openbox items.
I can not recall ever getting an item that i was unhappy with from them, and i have bought many over the years.

Pure fluke I was looking at them yesterday and noticed a "used" one for £158 from Amazon themselves. Snapped it up with the 20% discount

Mr Arrior · 25-11-2016 10:24PM

I suffer from quite bad OCD (Genuinely) so would struggle to buy something that may have been used before.

um7y1h83ge06nx · 25-11-2016 10:27PM

My "Very Good" Moto G4 Plus arrived today. For the life of me I can't see any scratches or anything like that and I would be pedantic.

It's so good you could gift it, can't wait for my Like New UE Boom 2!

andy125 · 25-11-2016 10:28PM

i bought an oil filled radiator, it arrived yesterday and tripped the electricity everytime i plugged it in no matter where in the house followed by a bright spark

So i got on to amazon chat and told my story, they said no problem that i could return it and get a full refund but they couldn't print a free post label and i would have to pay for postage and email receipt to get refund when the received the item

Problem there was it weights 15kg and would cost around 60 euro to post it, i asked to speak to a manger who said he could do nothing for me basically

woah.. retry with a different support agent. That's very un-Amazon-like.

One of the items I bought was battery powered and marked "Like New". It's perfectly fine and untouched except the batteries that came with it were dead.

So I got a refund of 25% to go toward new batteries!

yeah they changed their return policy for ireland a couple of months ago. no longer can get the pre-paid labels to send back...have to pay postage yourself and then get refunded...i'm a lot more careful about what i buy from amazon these days as the return process is now just too much of a pain

If an item is faulty they must pay reasonable postage costs and that means sending it back via an post as a registered parcel to avail of the tracking and signature.

I was recently refunded for a microwave bought in warehouse deals that would have cost more to return than it had cost. they will usually say it is a one off refund etc but should either take the hit on the return post or just refund and let you keep the item. That is the cost of doing business and most of the items have post and packing costs added into the price.

I've had to returns items recently and I told them I wasn't doing it, that I expected more customer service than that and they generated the usual An Post returns label for me, just be polite but firm

This. They deal with many people all day that are sometimes rude, but will go out of their way to help people that are polite in my experience.

Some bad reviews there, customers returning multiple units

Unless it's a bad batch, I can't agree. Had one for a year, and it's been rock solid.

Works OK for most part. Depends on what you want it for. Only downside to Android TV is the huge lack of apps.

TrustedApple · 28-11-2016 10:18AM

Got my De'Longhi Esam4000.b today the one i got for 155 pound works out 185 euros.

IT was Good it said from the warehouse its brand new and never used as all the plastic is still covering it and notting has been opened. As the bean part still has the leaflet inside it.

Only thing is the post box was shocking they did not even put it into a box at all just shipped a label on the box and that was it quite bad to be fair but cant wait for my break my in work to try it out

Got the logitech UE boom2 speaker delivered this morning for £65 with the 20% off deal.

Thanks again whoever spotted these and posted, its in perfect condition, unused as far as I can see.

muppetkiller · 28-11-2016 02:59PM

So my 50inch Hisense tv arrrived and appears in perfect condition. Booted it up and watch a few movies etc was as Happy as as a pig in poo.
Tred to update the firmware and noticed while the screen went dark that there was a small white mark in the center of the screen. like something had bumped off it. No larger than a pencil mark (1/2 cm) and totally invisable during play.

I contacted amazon as I wanted to know what my options were. They said they would simply refund me the total price and have the tv collected or they would offer me a refund of 25% on the price I paid

So in the end my 50 inch 4k tv cost me 240 quid lol. (with the little mark obviously)
I didn't even have to get narky with the reps , they offered it to me before I said anything.
Top notch customer service.
