What is Amazon Warehouse and how do I shop it?
Amazon Warehouse (now called Amazon Resale) is a virtual warehouse that sells discounted, like-new, open-box, and used items in all categories — from TVs to toiletries and kitchenware to baby stuff. Often, these are items returned by customers or sent in as part of Amazon's trade-in program.
To see what's available, just head to Amazon's Warehouse deals section. From there, you can shop by category and check out, just like you'd normally do on Amazon. All Warehouse items are Prime eligible, so you get free shipping if you’re an Amazon Prime member.

Amazon Warehouse Savings Hacks
If you're not used to shopping Amazon resale (or other used or refurbished shopping portals), it can feel a bit different from shopping brand-new items. Keep these tips in mind:
Look carefully at the conditions, so you know what you're getting.
Amazon Warehouse has five different conditions to rate the shape an item is listed on the right-hand side of the product page. Here they are:
Renewed: The item works and looks like new and includes any original accessories. Will most likely come in its original packaging. The product comes with the Amazon Renewed Guarantee, giving you a replacement or refund within 90 days of purchase if the product doesn’t work as expected.
Used: Like New: The item works great but might not have all of its original protective wrapping or packaging. Comes with all accessories.
Used: Very Good: Still in good working condition but may show signs of wear — like scratches or other cosmetic imperfections. May come with damaged packaging and could be missing some accessories. Missing accessories are clearly defined for each item.
Used: Good: Visible wear, but the product is in good working condition. It could arrive in damaged packaging and have some missing parts, instructions, or accessories.
Used: Acceptable: An acceptable item is visibly worn — including scratches, worn corners, or dents — but can still function properly. It may also be missing multiple parts, assembly tools, and/or instruction manuals.
Check that you’re shopping Warehouse items by looking for the condition near the price.
When shopping for Amazon Resale items, you’ll find that Amazon will flip-flop from new items to used items. Other than searching through the Warehouse area directly, you can also find Warehouse items by selecting that blue “used offers” button/link that’s easy to ignore on the right-hand side of product pages.
Act fast because quantities are limited.
Amazon Warehouse items aren’t regularly stocked like typical Amazon products. The quantities per condition will vary. One moment you could be looking at a great deal on a Used: Like New product, and the next moment it’s gone.
That’s because Amazon Warehouse inventory is totally dependent on what is being sent to the warehouse from Amazon sellers.
All that to say, act fast if you see a great deal that you really want.
Amazon Resale is a safer way to shop used, compared to many other resale sites.
If you can get over any fear about having refurbished, used, or open-box electronics, you’ll save big. Much of Amazon Warehouse’s inventory is made up of unlocked cell phones, TVs, digital cameras, and lots of Amazon devices like Echo Dots, Fire tablets, Alexa accessories, and more. If you want a great deal, this is a way safer place to buy used electronics than your local seller on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace because you can turn to Amazon's return policy if things don't work out. Plus, you know that Amazon has inspected the item and found it to be in, at least, working condition.
You can often save an extra 20% during Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday, and Earth Day.
During Amazon Prime Day, Amazon's October Prime event (Prime Big Deal Days), Amazon Black Friday, and Amazon's Earth Day sale, Amazon tends to offer an additional 20% off select Amazon Warehouse items. Just look for the “Prime Savings save 20% at checkout” text on the product page. Once you add those items to your cart and go to checkout, an additional 20% discount will automatically apply.
You can get 90-day returns with “renewed” condition items, but you won't get the manufacturer's warranty.
Amazon’s return policy of 30 days applies to all Amazon Warehouse purchases, but any product that falls into the “Renewed” condition category — the highest of Warehouse quality — has a total of 90 days to be returned to Amazon for a full refund. That’s because it falls under the Amazon Renewed Guarantee. To return a Renewed item, follow these steps:
Talk to an Amazon associate by calling (800)-362-5703.
Or, on your “My Orders” page, click “Get Product Support” and follow the prompts.
KCL TIP: Unlike regular Amazon purchases, you can’t request a replacement for a broken or unsatisfactory item — only a return and refund.
Amazon Warehouse products don’t come with the manufacturer’s warranty. Womp. If that’s something that’s important to you, stick with the new items.
Always check the price on the new item to make sure you're actually getting a good deal.
Before you check out with an Amazon Renewed item, search for the same item on Amazon's regular site to see what the price is. You might find that Amazon is running a sale that makes the price of the product (brand new) just a few bucks more than the Amazon Renewed price.
