    Amazon Warehouse?

    Advertisements
    Has anyone ordered a 'returned' item from the Amazon warehouse?

    I look occasionally, mainly at athletic shoes. I just found my exact same New Balance 'I'm too lazy to get dressed' cross trainers in a cute purple/gray for only $25! I've never ordered anything from the warehouse so I'm curious to see if they arrive as described.
    Never do anything halfway unless you want to be half happy.

    Is this a dream? If it is, please don't wake me from this high. I'd become comfortably numb
    until you opened up my eyes to what it's like when everything is right...I can't believe you found me ♥

    Does it specify final sale anywhere? If not then I would totally order them. Returned items usually just aren't in the original packaging, I doubt they're going to resell a pair of shoes that have clearly been used.

    QVC has an as is section on their website, amazon warehouse sounds similar.

    I hope they're fine, because I already ordered them. I can't pass up $25 for the same shoe that's normally $70! I'm lucky that I already know they'll fit because I have the same pair now. They were rated as excellent condition with small marks on sole, which I guessed means someone probably wore them around for a day and decided they didn't like them?

    I've ordered tons of items from the Amazon Warehouse. Everything is always pretty much new. I love the price markdowns hehe. I can live with a tiny scratch here or there, barely noticeable scuff marks, etc.

    Yes! I just ordered a case of air filters for our very picky HVAC system that are originally $70 for $35, and they just had been opened and re-wrapped. I inspected every one of them, and they're all in perfect condition.

    You ladies made me feel much better about it! I'm so excited to get them Wednesday I'll post an update on them for sure.
