From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Online shopping giant Amazon is the place to peruse for pretty much any product, whether you’re seeking a new mattress, cordless vacuum cleaner, coffee machine or beauty buys. For many of us, it’s an easy go-to with the option of next-day delivery. There are multiple ways you can save money at Amazon, too, from keeping an eye out for the Prime Day deals landing next week to getting a list ready ahead of the annual Black Friday sales in November.

A lesser-known part of the website is the Amazon Warehouse, where you can get big discounts on a selection of used, pre-owned and open-box products across computers, home appliances, toys, sports, shoes and bags, pet supplies and even musical instruments. In fact, some buys in this secret section have up to 50 per cent off their price, compared with their brand-new equivalents.

If you’re wondering how it works, the retailer offers peace of mind on all Amazon Warehouse purchases, by carrying out a series of quality checks to test the condition and functionality of each product sold in this section. Within the system, Amazon grades items as “like new”, “very good”, “good”, or “acceptable”, and it will also inspect products for any missing parts or damaged packaging.

It’s worth knowing anything you buy from Amazon Warehouse is covered under its regular returns policy, meaning you can still send back anything that isn’t quite right, within 30 days of receiving it. However, Amazon is unable to replace returned items with another product in the exact same condition.

Should you be shopping for a specific item or fancy some inspiration, we’ve rounded up some of the best Amazon Warehouse deals to buy now, across big-name brands such as Apple, Vax and more.
