Amazon's 'secret section' which gives shoppers huge discounts - everything you need to know

As prices across the UK continue to rise there's no doubt the majority of shoppers are on the lookout for extra discounts, whether it's on everyday essentials, the newest tech device or household gadgets. Knowing exactly where to shop could increase how much money consumers save.

Unbeknown to a lot of shoppers there's a specific page on Amazon that launches additional discounts on items, meaning the same products listed on its main retail site can be found for hundreds of pounds cheaper.

The site has built up a reputation for posting 'covert' deals, consumer expert Martin Lewis has previously referred to it as a 'hidden' page, and just last month we found this £30 Dyson AirWrap dupe on offer on what we refer to as Amazon's 'secret' sale page.

The 'hidden page' is officially known as Amazon Warehouse, a deals section of the site where shoppers can find discounted brands, where digits are knocked off the original retail price. Items available to buy here include everything from the latest laptops and phones to kitchen gadgets and 'raved-about' beauty tools including Dyson Airwrap or the Shark FlexStyle.

And whilst it's not known when the next major Amazon sale event will launch, we've found some huge savings on normally expensive products as Amazon launch 30% off its Warehouse products.

The Shark Style IQ Hairdryer is now £117 compared to its original £179.99, the ghd Platinum and Styler Gifset edition is currently £50 off the original price, and this Tower Airfryer is reduced to £109.

Why are Amazon Warehouse products so much cheaper?

The items stocked on Amazon Warehouse are previously owned or 'like-new' products, but it does not always mean the items have been used before. So, if you're looking for a brand new hair straightener or iPhone 14 (for example) you could still get it here, but for a lot cheaper.

Amazon sets out clear thresholds on the re-selling of the items on the Warehouse page; used - like new, used - very good, used- good and used-acceptable. Products are priced depending on the status, with the cheaper options being used- acceptable and the more expensive are used - like new.

The cheaper the product is the more likely that it has been used before, or shows signs of minimal 'wear and tear'. However, a lot of items can be found 'like-new' meaning the items have never been used before. This is because Amazon can't sell a product that has previously been sold before as 'new', even if it has been returned and never opened.

This is why a lot of the Warehouse products are in the same condition as the products listed on its main store.

The deals we've found on 'like-new' products

With all the different threshold of conditions it is safe to say that shoppers on the lookout for a 'brand new' item for a cheaper price will have to shop around, but they can be found.

Below is a list of some items we've found, in either 'like-new' or 'used-very good' condition
