If you had the time, resources and desire to shop at Amazon.com or its international counterpart, Amazon.ca, what would you purchase?
With the launch of Amazon Prime Now in January 2015, customers can now enjoy speedy delivery from the online retail giant.
Are you a savvy shopper on Amazon? Have you mastered the ins and outs of navigating its labyrinthine site? If so, buckle up! I’ve compiled an abridged guide for anyone seeking pointers and tricks about how to navigate through it like a pro – from finding what they’re looking for to racking up savings along the way. Let’s get started!
Amazon Prime is an essential component of any online shopper’s arsenal. It streamlines delivery and provides access to exclusive benefits such as free two-day shipping or high-speed one-hour delivery options.
The primary benefit of Amazon Prime is the opportunity to enjoy free two-day shipping at no additional cost; however, there are other perks obtainable only when utilizing this service:
Accessible exclusively to those individuals with an Amazon Prime membership, this facility allows you expedite your order in just one hour! Furthermore, if you decide on ‘Rush My Order’ option within the application page – it will take only 15 minutes max before dispatching your goods. Customers who use this function effectively can experience noteworthy gains like skipping queues at busy locations and getting their packages delivered within hours – all without needing to wait for longer periods for its arrival!
If you’re able to apply for a credit card from Citibank, Mastercard or Visa, then one of those companies may provide you with an offer of 0% APR financing on qualifying purchases over $3000. To find out more about these opportunities be sure to visit Bankrate’s website.
1. Take advantage of Amazon’s Lightening Deals
At any given moment, an array of discounted merchandise will be available on Amazon’s website. As an avid consumer, you may find that these sales make for the perfect opportunity to stock up on essential household items at a fraction of their regular cost.
To locate Lightening Deals for your region, simply access the Lightning Deals tab from within the ‘Gifts’ section and select from the list of available items. If you do not find what you are looking for there yet, don’t fret – it is possible to create one! Just click ‘Add Lightning Deal’; then input when it starts and ends date as well as which categories should be included in your offer; after which you can proceed with providing coupons/discounts or even create a new deal altogether!
2. Check for Amazon Warehouse Deals
Amazon Warehouse is a special collection of products, typically with limited to no sales or customer feedback. This can be an optimal time to find bargains!
With Amazon Warehouse Deals, you have the opportunity to purchase goods at purportedly reduced prices – which could make for some exceptional savings!
Don’t forget: You don’t have to commit to purchasing items from Amazon Warehouse Deals if you decide they aren’t suited for your needs or budget. Instead of investing in these items immediately – why not pick them up later on? There may even come a day where you find that perfect item within one of these deals!
3. Use Alexa to help you find the best deals on Amazon
Alexa’s voice assistant is one of the most effective tools we have at our disposal, so don’t forget to utilize it when shopping on Amazon.
Alexa can provide you with useful insight into what products are likely to offer savings during your next purchase – even if these items aren’t also found on Amazon! Simply ask her for a “good deal” or mention that you’re looking for an item with a particular title and she will be able to give you suggestions based on past purchases from other customers.
