Somewhat OT but to people who returned to Amazon using ParcelMotel, what did you send as a receipt? None of the return labels indicate postage costs etc.

Fill out a support request asking for a postage receipt, and they will email you one.

I'm puzzled why they didn't choose products that ship to Ireland and Amazon is the seller then there's no messing when you need to return the item.
There's reviews and grades on the items, that should be checked before you order not after.
Some used knives with reviews saying fakes and deliver/return using parcel motel, I have to wonder what were they thinking buying them in the first place.

^ My item was probably working fine before they sent it..

Though badly handed in transit... hole through Amazon box right through to item inside box and made a dent on item.

My experiences with warehouse deals have been as follows, one pair of trousers size wrongly labeled, returned by original buyer and resold without amending the size. I bought them, was refunded and told to keep them.

Led lenser head torch returned as faulty and resold to me without them being repaired, they had the original batteries still fitted so just resold with nothing done to remedy the fault. Refunded, told to keep and easy fix to repair them. Would obviously have returned them like original buyer if I'd paid full price.

One graphic novel, not a mark; perfect in fact probably returned as unwanted or something.

One luminous rainproof running jacket which people are advised to buy size up from their normal fit. So again probably returned as wrong size, the incorrect size in this case was a perfect fit for me and an absolute steal of a bargain.

One complete order MIA so hopefully who ever got it, it works for them as they won't be able to return it :P

So electrical goods seem to be very hit and miss, where as clothes if you check might be worth a gamble. Books, graphic novels are as described, mine was described as near perfect, was totally perfect.
In future I'd avoid electrical goods, I'd take a punt with graphic novels, books etc, clothes I'd check the full price description.
To be perfectly honest what attracted me most was the 20% off on top of the warehouse discount.

Wow I ordered 6 items off warehouse and not one had any damage beyond a dead set of AA batteries (for which they refunded me).

I assumed all warehouse items were like this but buyer beware thanks to this thread.

Well what I was thinking was that this was a low risk transaction as the knives I bought were sold and shipped by Amazon. Condition of knives was stated as "very good" so I assumed open box or similar. After dealing with them for over 10 years I was very surprised to receive such a dodgy delivery. I wasn't the only customer to complain about this fake set of knives from Amazon.

Amazon as standard offer €9 to cover the cost of returning items to the warehouse. If it costs more you have to get on to them and they will cover the additional cost.

What did Amazon say?

haven't got in touch yet, it was about £2 but I might contact them for the crack!

I fully agree, totally hit and miss..Got a printer off them, 15 euro cheaper than new, and not only was the ink, cables and setup software missing, when I went to register the printer for the cashback offer, it had already been claimed!! Amazon of course refunded the lot and paid postage return costs but way too much hassle for me to ever use warehouse again for a big ticket item..Obviously some will be lucky and purchase something a scobe hasn't fiddled!!

The warehouse can be a bit hit and miss.
I bought a new nowtv box with movies and the movie voucher was missing

whats the story,

does amazon have a online sale at anytime this week? where it goes crazy with prices?

what was the routine in previous years?

I bought about 6 items from warehouse in the recent sale. Most were fine. One (one which was opened yesterday!) was defective. Just got a partial refund today (as some of the item is fine so I couldn't return it). The refund was a bit disappointing so I agree with other posters, I think it's too much hassle tbh and I don't think Amazon are checking items properly. For books it is fine but for other items I will avoid in the future.
