Is it worth buying Amazon returns? What you need to know

What is an Amazon return

It is a product that someone bought and returned. Often it is like new, but it can no longer be sold as first-hand: it may arrive without its original box or, occasionally, with a small flaw. That is why it sells for much less.

The advantages

• Price. You pay considerably less than buying it on Amazon.
• Brands you know. They are the same products that are sold there.
• Reuse. A product that works gets used again instead of ending up in a warehouse.

What to check before buying

• The warranty. Whether it has one, and how long it lasts.
• The condition, stated clearly. Whether it is like new (and whether it still has its box), whether it has a flaw (and which one) or whether it is only good for parts.
• Whether you can return it. The time limit and the conditions.
• Who sells it. A company with a shop, invoices and reviews from other buyers.

Buying to resell? Amazon returns lots

If you are looking for stock for your shop, your stall or to sell online, what you need are Amazon returns lots: boxes and pallets with the list of every item and a fixed price. They work differently from single items: they are sold as is, just as they arrive from Amazon, unchecked and with no warranty. We explain it in mystery boxes or lots with an item list.

These are the ones we have right now, by category:

• Motoring returns lots: spare parts and accessories for cars and motorbikes.
• Home returns lots: items for the home, from brands you know.
• Kids returns lots: toys and baby gear.
• Kitchen and homeware lots: kitchenware and cooking utensils.
