Barcelona becomes the epicenter of retail innovation with the opening of Prime Deals, a store on Carrer Manso, Sant Antoni, that is changing the way Amazon’s returned products reach consumers.
Prime Deals seeks to combat waste by offering significant discounts of up to 40% on products returned by Amazon users. This unique approach not only appeals to bargain hunters, but also resonates with those concerned about sustainability.
The store acquires its products through auctions, where it takes returned items, submits them to rigorous revisions and, once their quality is guaranteed, offers them for sale in its physical store.
Each product in the store has a QR code that reveals its current price on Amazon, allowing customers to compare and appreciate the discount offered on these returns.
Discounted Amazon returns
The initiative is not only about saving money, but also about offering a unique and enhanced shopping experience. Customers have the opportunity to examine and evaluate products in person, an advantage that is often lost when buying online.
In an interview with Betevé, Felipe Atehortúa, manager of Prime Deals, highlights how this process not only reduces waste but also gives a second life to fully functional and useful products.
Amazon’s returns chain, once a mystery to many, finds its answer in Prime Deals. Here, returned products are not considered lost, but have the opportunity to reach new households at irresistible prices.
Unique location in Barcelona
For the time being, this innovative business model is only available in Barcelona, highlighting the city’s pioneering role in the adoption of new forms of retail.
The physical location allows customers to inspect products before purchasing, a luxury that is rarely present when shopping online.
Prime Deals is not only revolutionizing the way we view Amazon returns, but it is also driving awareness about sustainability and the need to reduce waste in the retail industry.
Other hidden online offers in the Amazon Secret Shop
Amazon also has a little-known online section. This is Amazon Warehouse, where consumers can access products with discounts of up to 50%. The reason behind these significant reductions lies in the fact that the products, although in perfect condition, have had the packaging opened, which classifies them as “second hand”.
Accessing this secret store is simple. By going to the Amazon Warehouse URL, users can browse a variety of refurbished products that are in top condition.
