to learn more about Amazon Warehouse and find out how to deal with late, damaged, or missing Amazon packages hassle-free!
Everything You Should Know About Amazon Warehouse
Amazon Warehouse resells pre-owned products that have been returned for various reasons. These items can be like new, slightly used, or damaged, and they are sold at a discount.
Amazon employees inspect and grade each product to establish the quality and price—the bigger the damage, the higher the discount.
Most items have a disclaimer regarding the damaged packaging, which doesn’t mean the product itself is faulty.
Amazon Warehouse—Product Conditions
Each product has a listing comment that describes its condition:
| Product Condition | Description |
| Renewed | A renewed item works and looks like new, and it has minimal or no signs of wear. This product has no visible damages from 12 inches away. You’ll receive all accessories, and the product will come with Amazon Renewed Guarantee |
| Used—Like New | A like-new item is in perfect working condition. The product might come in original packaging with minor damage |
| Used—Very Good | A product classified as “Very Good” is in good working condition even though it has seen limited use. Minor scratches and other cosmetic damages might be present. Some items might come without accessories |
| Used—Good | An item that remains in good working condition but shows wear and has cosmetic damage is classified as “Good.” The product could be missing:
|
| Used—Acceptable | An acceptable product continues to function properly even though it’s fairly worn. This item will come with dents, significant scratches, and other signs of cosmetic damage. It could also be missing accessories and most parts as well as assembly tools and the instruction manual |

To be eligible for a refund or exchange, you need to return your product within 30 days from the day of purchase. Items with the “Renewed” listing condition are covered with a 90-day return policy.
