Massive Amazon sale featuring 40% discount on a multitude of items, including essential household supplies, concludes in a matter of days.
Starting May 21 through May 27, Amazon is hosting its Everyday Essentials Week sale, offering a plethora of discounts on various items including groceries, cleaning products, beauty essentials, and more. Participating brands include Andrex, Fairy, Flash, Gillette Venus, Cadbury, and Twinings, with savings of up to 40% for UK shoppers.
Prime members can also enjoy additional perks, such as free delivery and same-day delivery in over 80 towns and cities across the UK. The sale covers products for every room in the house and every family member, ranging from baby wipes and shampoo to coffee pods, pet food, and fabric softener.
Amazon Basics and Amazon Essentials brand lines will also be offered at up to 15% off during the sale. However, beware of an uptick in scams associated with such events. Here are some common scams to watch out for:
- Prime Membership Scam: Criminals may contact victims via email or text claiming there's a problem with their account. They may ask for sensitive information to 'verify' the account but Amazon will never ask for such details via phone, text, or email. Avoid engaging with such suspicious communications and directly check your account status through the Amazon app or website.
- Fake Order Confirmation: Scammers may send fake emails about order issues containing links to fraudulent websites designed to steal personal details and payment information. Do not click these links; instead, check the status of your orders through the Amazon app or website.
- Fake Listing Scam: Scammers create false shop fronts offering high-demand items at unbeatable prices. Shoppers may receive counterfeit products or nothing at all. Stick to well-reviewed sellers or those marked as 'Amazon Verified.' If you fall victim to a fake listing scam, contact Amazon for assistance through the app or website.
Stay safe and enjoy the savings offered during Amazon's Everyday Essentials Week sale. Remember to verify any communication purportedly from Amazon and only enter sensitive information on the official Amazon website.
