Amazon promo codes & deals

Amazon is a retail giant that continues to dominate its industry. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon as an online bookseller in 1994 in Seattle, Washington, and it (along with its marketplace of millions of sellers) has grown to encompass tech and electronics, fashion, home goods, groceries, digital subscriptions and so much more. And don't forget about Prime Day (not that anyone could). Amazon's yearly sale acts as a mid-year counterpoint to Black Friday and offers its members exclusive deals.

Amazon exists as the shopping cart for literally everything you want. Want to order groceries in a mere hours? Amazon will do that. Want to buy a new tablet, a swimsuit, toys, furniture and cereal in bulk, all in one order? You can do that on Amazon. Amazon has also gotten into the streaming business and entertainment powerhouse, too, with Prime Video and Amazon Music Unlimited. Oh, and thanks to Amazon's Echo smart home line, you can use its smart assistant, Alexa to control your lights, play music and order more stuff from Amazon, of course!

Third-Party Sellers

Amazon offers plenty of opportunities for third-party sellers to sell products and generate revenue. Each year, nearly 225,000 sellers sell more than $100,000 worth of products on this platform. Amazon provides all the things companies need to be successful in the marketplace.

Amazon's return policy depends on the items that customers purchase, but most items sold and shipped by Amazon are eligible for free returns. Customized product returns are accepted within 14 days of purchase. Electronics can be returned within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.

When customers enroll in Amazon Prime, they’ll enjoy many perks beyond just shopping at Amazon. Benefits range from fast free shipping to access to streaming services and discounts at Whole Foods. An annual Prime subscription costs $139/yr., or you can choose a monthly plan at $14.99/mo. Discounted Prime memberships are also available for students and qualifying government assistance recipients (EBT, Medicaid, SNAP, etc.).
