I bought a second hand laptop, unknowingly. …
I bought a laptop from Amazon which cost £580 in February last year. It came with a 1 yr manufacture's warranty and a 2 yr warranty from Amazon. It broke down within 7 days of the 1 year warranty expiring. To cut a long story short, I discovered that I purchased the laptop from Amazon Warehouse and that it had been purchased and returned to Amazon, reconditioned and resold. On my receipt it doesn't state that it was 'used'. The call centre representative said that people know that Amazon Warehouse means items are reconditioned because it would have stated it on the item page. I obviously didn't notice the 'used' word which was apparently on the page and I didn't know to check. Amazon state that because the item is no longer available, the original profile of my laptop advert has changed on my receipt so they can't prove it and I have to take their word. I have asked my friends, none of them knew this. The price I paid was comparable to other companies so I wasn't aware of any reduction. I would like to see some transparency so that customers know that they could be buying second hand, returned goods if they shop with the default 'All department's' tab rather than filtering so that Amazon Warehouse is filtered out.
