F.A.Q's

What is Amazon Warehouse Deals?
From Amazon: Get deep discounts on open-box, like-new, refurbished, or used products that are in good condition but do not meet Amazon.com's rigorous standards as "new".

Warehouse Deals is part of amazon that has open box, new but with damaged packaging product aka "dinger" and trade ins in generally like new condition. They are considered 3rd party by affiliation and as such the "Amazon Warehouse Deals" distinction but are still part of Amazon.

Is the Amazon Warehouse Deals return policy the same as Amazon's return policy?
Yes! All purchases are eligible for Amazon customer service and 30 day return policy.

I'm using the games sort by console link, and the games will not sort by price properly. What is wrong?
You aren't doing anything wrong, the sort by price feature on Amazon is broken during restocks and or when pricing algorithm goes haywire. During those times, prices don't adjust and assimilate with the current inventory quickly enough to show the sorting as such

I'm waiting for a ps4, xb1, 360, ps3, 3ds, or PS Vita to pop up.. What time do they usually appear?
They can show up any time, the best way to find it is have the item tabbed on your browser, and download an auto refresh app and frequently check it, and or set alerts... Sometimes they will not pop up on amazon warehouse deals storefront, you will need to check the "used" section of the item

Why did all the prices of games randomly jump up?
Games on warehouse deals generally go on a cycle. They will get extremely low, great deals.. Then they will jump back up and restart the cycle of falling in price again.

I have a gaming credit and/or an Amazon gift card. Can both of these be applied to Warehouse Deals orders?
Gift cards can be applied to orders made on warehouse deals, however video game credit is only good for items shipped and sold by "amazon.com", warehouse deals does not count as this.

What was Penny Deals?
In early September of 2011, tons of newer release, more expensive games popped up for 1 penny each. Many CAG members placed orders, expecting them to get cancelled. Some were cancelled, however many CAGS got a large amount of games for a penny each. There has been no confirmation what exactly happened and why these games were sold for a penny.

What states does Amazon charge sales tax?
Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the following states are subject to tax:

Arizona
California
Connecticut

Florida
Georgia
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Massachusetts
Nevada
New Jersey
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Pennsylvania
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin

Note: No sales tax is charged when purchasing gift cards; however, purchases paid for with gift cards may be subject to tax.

What do you mean by a "dinger"?
Dinger = Item is new but the packaging is damaged in some way or form.

These are speculative guesses at best going by descritption of any given item and also taking into account the length of time an item has been out since its release. Shorter the span of time from release of a game or console, better the chance of scoring a new item with damaged packaging aka "dinger".

What condition are products from Warehouse Deals generally in?
First and foremost all games from AWD are considered used unless specified as new. Usually, games are re-shrinked wrap and depending on condition they can be perfect / brand new, brand new with damaged packaging aka "dinger" to just a game in a generic case. AWD has 5 condition criteria for their listings and they are:

New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unopened video game in perfect condition in its original packaging and with all original packaging materials included.

Like New: An apparently unopened video game in perfect condition (although it may be out of its original wrapping). The box and item are pristine, with no signs of wear. Suitable for presenting as a gift. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Very Good: A well-cared-for video game that has been played but remains in great condition. The game and its original packaging are complete and slightly worn, but unmarked and undamaged. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Good: The video game shows wear from consistent use, but remains in good condition. There may be clear external signs of wear and damage to the original packaging or instructions, but the game plays perfectly. The video game may have identification markings from its owner. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Acceptable: The video game is fairly worn, but it continues to work perfectly. The box and instructions may be missing or damaged. The video game may have identification markings from its owner. Sellers are required to note whether the box or instructions are missing in the condition notes field for the item. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Any game I have personally ever bought in good or above condition has been in near mint condition. Acceptable ones have been a gamble. Getting DLC with games has also been a gamble and since AWD games are considered used, don't expect unused DLC even though there will be occassions where they may come unused. In regards to DLC, ymmv. Conditon wise, some people have reported that games were scratched with stickers on the insert. Consoles are also usually reported in like new or new condition with box damage. Rarely, a console may be missing a key component such as a power brick. Games listed in "acceptable" condition likely have very beaten up cases, or are missing cases and inserts, and are in not so great condition, but generally have a working game disc. Consoles listed in "acceptable" conditon can be either new in damaged packaging and or a pure gamble in what conditon they will truly be in along with what is included in the box depending on the time frame from release of the console.

Here is an example of a like new handheld (PS Vita) - Thanks Slixshot

I got my Tales of Symphonia Chronicles Collector's Edition today. It is the Europe/UK edition, which is surprisingly is not as good as the American edition. It doesn't have the steelbook (though I already have a ToS steelbook) or the artbook. I am probably going to send it back.

 
Well let's see. Skylanders was brand new (unsurprisingly), games seem in good shape, haven't opened the Defiance CE but that seems OK as well. The SOCOM thing is missing the outer sleeve but complete and looks unused. Didn't realize that it came with the move camera and peripherals. Kind of tempted to keep it now but it boomerangs for so much.

The Batman CE is a huge disappointment. Packaging was fine enough, everything's there and the only thing that's not factory sealed is the game (though the case for the movie is crushed). The statue was factory sealed but wow it's cheap and not nearly as nice as it looked online. Really cheap plastic, super light weight, everything's basically held on with modeling glue (smells of it and there's strings from it I had to remove all over), not surprised at all people were getting broken ones. For $10 it's still neat but I expected a lot more of it and are really glad I didn't pull the trigger the various times I almost bought it around $40.

Oh and it's amazing mine's not broken since NORAM shipped it to the warehouse in the CE box and nothing else.

By now, everything except for the Xbox 360 consoles have shipped for me and surprisingly, they're all due tomorrow. Even the MGS4 PS4 console that had an estimated delivery of the 13th already shipped. It helps that everything but the AC IV LE is lumped into the same shipment and coming from Whitetown, IN, which is only about two hours away from me.

 
Somebody doesn't know how to grade. LN Forza 5 LE cardboard slip was torn at the top and steelbook is dented at the top. Oh well, for the price I paid, I can deal with it.

 
Received Hitman Absolution Professional Edition ~ 3.XX

Parasite Eve ~ Complete came with all discs even bonus disc

The Legend of Dragoon ~ Came complete 

Resident Evil 4 X2 ~ Came complete and one seems brand new it has the label outside the shrinkwrap so idk 

Tomb Raider Collectors Edition ~ Complete should have bought more as gifts 

The only one that sucked was Resident Evil 6 Archives ~ it didnt come in case just a generic 360 case wonder if the codes still work but for $5 im not complaining 

 
First order arrived today.

ACIV PS4 CE was fully complete, nothing seems to be missing (CE code was valid too lol)

My Blue DS is kinda scratched up and came with no box or charger, but it works (Might still keep to use since it was only 12$)

And my Ryse and GoW Judgement were unscathed, but GoW was missing manuals. (Ryse still has the Day 1 code which i will try later)

For 40$ for just that stuff I cant complain at all. Praying my Galaxy Note is really pristine tomorrow. (And the Batman CE isnt a shoe in a box)

I should've just bought more things in general.

 
Got 11 items today, 23 are in route, 2 not shipped, 2 cancelled (Ipad, PS3).

The ones in route are all scheduled to arrive tomorrow which means a ton of boxes.

Good:  Tomb Raider CE is brand new, may be one I traded in from Gamestop. 

 
Everything but the Xbox has finally shipped. Looks like they're coming together. My only regret was not ordering more when I had the chance. 

 
11 items delivered today in 5 boxes.  23 arrive tomorrow in probably 10 or more.

Tomb Raider CE and DJ Hero bundle were brand new, the rest of the stuff came as expected so far.

I went to bed around the same time (EST), set an alarm for 3am just in case, and slept right through it (apparently deactivating the alarm in my sleep, not just hitting the Snooze button). I'm glad I didn't wake up kicking myself.

Hehehe. I've done that many times. It's especially easy to do if you're really tired and keep the alarm clock right next to you. That's why I keep it a decent distance away, now.

wow just wow. I placed an order for a $99 assassins creed iii ps3 bundle thru WHD...what i received was this:

not even close...

Would be hilarious if all the "greedy" (jealous-stricken poster's words..not mine) lurkers and whd-stalkers opened their shipments of 5+ console bundles to find something entirely different.

Dafuq??? And this was from amazon themselves??

Got my niece call of duty ghosts hardened edition today is there anyway for me to check if the codes are valid without redeeming them?
Click to expand...
Type in in on Xbox.com

It'll either give a "code already used" message or tell you what the code is for and ask you if you want to redeem it. (at which point hit "cancel" or close the page_

 
Ugh, and just when I get a $50 giftcard to amazon for my birthday.  What's the likelihood of deals like this happening again?  Wondering if I'm better off waiting it out or biting on something now.

 
My tomb raider and forza came in today.... gotta love prime! The rest of the haul is coming in tomorrow. They noticed they shipping a lot of them together.. I was expecting a ****load of boxes tomorrow but it may only end up being 4-5 huge boxes.

I think that just redeems it, you need to do it on an actual xbox which you can cancel after typing it in. On the site once you type it in it redeems it. They may have changed this without me noticing though
 
Even though I'm basically 100% sure its not gonna happen tonight, I'm still staying til 3! It may feel bad to stay up for nothing, but it would be far worse to wake up and realize I missed it.

Forza 5 LE and the 360 Arcade unit have jumped into the likely cancelled pile. :whistle2:(

My 360 Arcade unit and MGS 80GB PS3 both have "Not Yet Shipped" with an estimated delivery of Wednesday. I ordered with Prime. I think these are likely to be cancelled, but I hope I'm wrong.

It was frantic, but I think I remember when I ordered the 360 Arcade, it was "out of stock", but there were 20+ available to order. I think it said that thing like "Order now and we'll ship when they're in stock" or something like that.

Usually they happen when people least expect it. Atleast in my experience.

A date is a big improvement over mine. Mine had a date and they took it away and gave it to Olengie.
