There are extra savings hidden in plain sight during retailer’s spring sale. Here’s how to find them
March 28, 2025
US WHAT THIS WILL MEAN FOR YOU. MORE THAN 400,000 PRODUCTS SOLD THROUGH AMAZON MAY BE AFFECTED BY THIS ORDER FROM THE U.S. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION. THE CPSC. THE ORDER GOES INTO EFFECT THIS COMING SUNDAY, JANUARY 26TH, AND IT REQUIRES AMAZON TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT DANGEROUS OR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS SOLD THROUGH ITS WEBSITE. AMAZON WILL DO THAT BY POSTING A RECALL NOTICE ON AMAZON.COM ON THE SAME DAY THAT THE RECALLS ARE ISSUED BY THE CPSC. AMAZON THEN ALSO HAS TO DIRECTLY NOTIFY THE AFFECTED CUSTOMERS THROUGH EMAIL AND BY POSTING RECALLS ON EACH CUSTOMER’S PERSONAL ACCOUNT PAGE. THIS ORDER APPLIES TO ALL PRODUCTS SOLD BY AMAZON AND PRODUCTS SOLD BY THIRD PARTY SELLERS ON THE SITE THROUGH AMAZON AND AMAZON MUST ISSUE A FULL REFUND IN THE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE TO ANY CONSUMER WHO SUBMITS PROOF THAT THEY DESTROYED OR DISPOSED OF A RECALLED PRODUCT. THIS ORDER IS THE RESULT OF A LEGAL COMPLAINT FILED WAY BACK IN 2021, ALLEGING THAT AMAZON CONTINUED TO SELL DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AFTER THEY WERE RECALLED, INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS, HAIR DRYERS, AND CHILDREN’S PAJAMAS. AGAIN, THIS ORDER GOES INTO EFFECT THIS COMING SUNDAY, JANUARY 26TH
This hack could get you even more savings during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is in full effect and if you’re flocking to their site to check out the deals that are going on, you might not be aware that there are more savings for you hidden in plain sight. Amazon officials said shoppers can expect to see products up to 40% off sale during the Big Spring Sale that lasts through the end of March. We’ve been able to locate some deals that are actually even higher than that, but upon seeing these deeper discounts, we noticed something else that you should know. As we’ve documented in the past, Amazon has a warehouse outlet, now known as Amazon Resale (formerly known as Amazon Warehouse), where you can get like-new or gently-used products for a fraction of their cost. Take the Beats Studio Buds, for example. As part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, there’s a Big Spring Deal of 33% off its original price. That’s a savings of $50 on a brand new pair of noise-canceling earbuds. But underneath the “Buy New” selection, there’s another selection available called “Save with Used – Like New.”The “Like New” option is sold by Amazon Resale, and it is priced at about $66. That’s over 50% in savings available, meaning deeper savings for your wallet for a “like new” version. Amazon defines a “Used – Like New” item as an item that is in “perfect working condition” and the packaging may have minor damage. Other labels to look out for include the following: Used – Very Good: An item in very good condition that may have seen limited use and fully functions. The item may have minor cosmetic imperfections. It may arrive with damaged packaging or be repackaged and could be missing some non-essential accessories. Missing accessories are shown under individual item description.Used – Good: An item in good condition that may show wear from moderate use and fully functions. The item may arrive with damaged packaging or be repackaged. It may have minor cosmetic damage, such as a small scratch. The item may be missing some valuable accessories and it may not be used until those accessories are purchased separately. Missing accessories are shown under individual item description.Used – Acceptable: An item may have clear signs of usage but still serves its main function. Item may arrive with damaged packaging or be repackaged. The item may have cosmetic damages on it or show other signs of previous use. Signs of usage can include scratches, dents, and worn corners or edges. The item may be missing some valuable accessories, components or spare parts, and it may not be used until those parts are purchased separately. Missing parts are shown under individual item description.Used – As Is: The item may have extensive wear or cosmetic imperfections but still serves its main function. The item may arrive with damaged packaging or be repackaged. Images will be provided to show the exact condition, including any package damage. The item may be missing some valuable accessories, components, or spare parts, and it may not be usable until those parts are purchased separately.The definitions are from Amazon Resale’s landing page.
