Amazon benefits that the merchant hides well

While we wait for Amazon Slovenia (if we ever get to see it at all), every Slovenian buyer can take advantage of some lesser-known benefits from the American online retailer Amazon. In the previous article, we pointed out what Amazon Prime membership is, whether it is worthwhile for Slovenians and what the monthly membership fee to this exclusive Amazon club offers. Since Amazon Slovenia or Amazon Prime Slovenia do not exist, Slovenians mostly shop via the German Amazon.de or the Italian Amazon.it.

German Amazon.de has an English translation option. Next to the search bar, select the language "English" or save our link, which will take you to the translated Amazon.de, to your favorites or bookmarks. The Italian Amazon.it does not have a default English translation option, but you can use Google Translate in the browser's address bar to help.

Even if you have already taken advantage of this free benefit, you can create a new profile and take advantage of the free period again. You can unsubscribe at any time, with no hidden cancellation costs.

Let's put Amazon Prime and all Prime benefits on the back burner for a moment, because Amazon has quite a few other benefits and tricks to help you shop and find the lowest possible price. Let's see what they are.

Amazon Outlet - a hidden discount store

We bet many of you have never noticed that Amazon has a special Amazon Outlet section where you can find all product categories but at lower prices. You can still filter by categories, such as electronics, furniture, kitchen gadgets... to make your search easier. You will also notice a special "Super Discounts" category, where the products with the biggest discount are usually hidden. Products are updated daily, so it's worth taking a daily peek if the exact product you're looking for is available.

Examples, cash discounts and reduced prices are waiting for you in the Amazon Outlet (at the time of writing):

• Graphics card PowerColor AMD RX 6800XT 16GB: price €738
• HDD disk capacity 2TB Seagate EXOS: €62

Amazon has warehouses full of used or open-box products at a low price.

Amazon Warehouse - a warehouse of used products at a lower price

If you've ever wondered what Amazon does with all of your product returns, you'll find the answer in their Amazon Warehouse. This is the place where all used products, products with open or damaged packaging go. Their common denominator is low prices or solid discounts. Amazon classifies them according to condition or quality: almost new, very good, good and acceptable.

You may have doubts about buying used products, which is completely understandable, but in this case you do not need to worry. All Amazon Warehouse products have a valid warranty. If you are not satisfied, you can return them to Amazon within 30 days.

Examples of used products and what prices you can expect at Amazon Warehouse:

• SSD NVMe disk Crucial P3 capacity 1TB: €59.43
• Two-in-one Logitech keyboard and mouse set: €40.92

Amazon Business – a paradise for Slovenian entrepreneurs

Until now, we have been more or less focused on consumers, but Amazon is also targeting entrepreneurs. They created a special Amazon Business program where Slovenian entrepreneurs can make their purchases. If you are an entrepreneur, why would you even want to shop on Amazon.de?

Amazon Business offers volume discounts on certain products, various payment methods (SEPA, advance invoice, PayPal, credit card) and group purchases. You can add your employees to the company's business profile, who will be able to benefit from all the benefits on behalf of the company and perhaps save the company a few euros at the end of the month. All purchases will be under your control, as you will need to pre-authorize them. These are quite a few reasons why it might be worth checking out what the American retailer has to offer. But there is one more.

Slovenian companies that are liable for VAT can, within the framework of the Amazon Business program, make purchases without invoiced VAT.

Create an Amazon business account (add co-workers if necessary) and equip your offices with the latest computers, printers, servers, ergonomic chairs and other equipment at business discounts. VAT will also be deducted automatically. The benefit applies to companies and also SPs.

Among the Amazon benefits, we also find a catalog coupon.

Amazon Vouchers - catalog of coupons and additional discounts

The culture of coupons and loyalty cards has been relevant among Slovenian consumers for quite some time. The most famous are probably coupons from food retailers, followed by coupons and discounts received via e-newsletters. A lesser-known fact is that Amazon also offers coupons on certain products. If you haven't noticed this until now, we can't blame you, because it's not exactly advertised on the front page. To get to the Amazon Vouchers program, follow our link and you will find the entire catalog of coupons for the day you choose. The offer is refreshed daily, so it might be worth visiting their online catalog once a day.

To redeem the coupon for the selected product, click on "Collect Voucher", add the product to the cart, and before completing the purchase, the system will automatically calculate the discount. Discounts can be percentage (5 %, 10 %, 15 %...) or value (€3, €4...).

Coupon example:

• Tozo T6 Wireless Headphones: €29.99 + 10 % discount with coupon
• 3-in-1 charging station for Samsung devices (watch, phone, headphones): €39.99 + €6 discount with coupon

Finding gifts or gift ideas is one of Amazon's hidden perks.

Amazon gifts for partner, children and friends

Birthdays, Valentine's Day, Women's/Martyrs' Day, Christmas, New Year... Days that are a source of frustration for many, but for others the most beautiful days of the year, because they have the opportunity to give gifts to their partners. Both always struggle to find a convenient or perfect gift (does such a thing even exist?). Each of us scours Google, forums, and past posts to find at least an idea of what to buy our partner. Given that Amazon has the largest digital library of products at its disposal, it only makes sense that there is no shortage of ideas on its side. Even better, the store has a dedicated Amazon Gift Finder section to help you find gifts. For some reason, this section is not very well highlighted, so many buyers overlook it.

The gift search is divided by categories: men, women, teenagers, pets and children of different ages. If you can't find a suitable gift or at least an idea for a gift, you still have the option of buying an Amazon gift card, which the recipient can use to buy what they really need.

Amazon Prime Day 2023 – a day reserved for Amazon users

Amazon Prime Day 2023 is exactly what you think it is. A day that Amazon users look forward to all year. It is a two-day event full of interesting promotions and discounts. Most of the best deals are reserved for Amazon Prime users, so it's worth signing up for a free Prime trial during that period and taking advantage of the deals on offer. The exact date of Amazon Prime Day 2023 is not yet known. The event usually takes place in July, and the retailer releases the exact date a few weeks before it starts.
