Save on Used Goods for Summer

By Emily Lemon On Jun 2, 2023

NOW THAT Memorial Day has passed we can officially say summer is here. With all the warm weather adventures and hangouts that are about to ensue, now is the time to evaluate all of your home and outdoor gear to see which items need an upgrade. Maybe you dragged out last year’s patio furniture and found some unpleasant stains? Or perhaps you unearthed your grill and discovered it’s much too small for all the cook outs you’ve ambitiously planned?

Regardless of what you might need, if you’re looking to save on summer essentials then the Amazon Warehouse will have you covered. This lesser known section of Amazon is home to some of the e-retailers wildest deals, with 70% off and more across every product category. And while this section is home to gently used products (think like products you’d find open box at the store) Amazon verifies what you’re getting is legitimate and in the exact condition listed.

What Exactly Is the Amazon Warehouse?

If you’re unfamiliar, Amazon Warehouse is like a clearinghouse for great deals on “quality pre-owned, used, and open box products.” In many cases, these are items that shoppers buy, open, never use, but decide they don’t want after all, or gently used items (like popular electronics) that shoppers sell back to Amazon.

These products are all resold via Amazon Warehouse, usually at a steep discount. So virtually anything you can buy new on Amazon can also be found at the Amazon Warehouse. This includes everything from electronics and furniture to pet supplies and kitchen gadgets. The only difference? All the products are pre-loved (though many are like-new) and way cheaper than you’d expect.

How Do I Find the Amazon Warehouse?

The easiest way to start browsing the best Amazon Warehouse deals is at the official home page here.

To search all of what Amazon Warehouse has to offer, you can simply open up the drop-down menu in the search bar and change the default “All Departments” option to “Amazon Warehouse”.

The Amazon search bar is sorted in alphabetical order, so the Amazon Warehouse tab is only a few places down. From there you can either type a specific term into the search box, or you can simply leave the search bar empty and then tap the magnifying glass to take you to the Amazon Warehouse homepage.

How Does Amazon Warehouse Work?

Because Amazon Warehouse products aren’t new, Amazon uses a graded scale for each item so shoppers know the item’s condition before buying. Every item is graded with a 20-point quality inspection process for damage, packaging, and functionality. Here are the five categories you need to know:

Renewed: Think of this as “Amazon Refurbished.” It’s one of the best conditions available on Amazon Warehouse and usually indicates the item is like-new, with little to no wear. These also include an Amazon Renewed Guarantee, giving you 90 days to receive and inspect the product before deciding if you want to keep or return it.

Used—Like New: These items work perfectly and the packaging usually looks new too. We’ve bought Used – Like New Amazon Warehouse items that looked like they’d never been touched.

Used—Very Good: One step below Used – Like New, these items have been used very little, if at all, and the packaging is typically in very good shape.

Used—Good: Items in average condition that have probably been used, but still work perfectly. The packaging may be damaged or missing, or the item may come repackaged by Amazon.

Used—Acceptable: Well-used items that still function. Packaging is typically missing or damaged. These are the best deals available through Amazon Warehouse.

The great thing about every Amazon Warehouse purchase is that Amazon promises free replacements within 30 days if you’re unhappy with your order (and there’s an equivalent item in stock).
