3. Download the Which? Reviews app
Which? members have full access to the Which? Reviews app, which puts all our expert product reviews in the palm of your hand.
If you spot a tempting Prime Day deal, you can open the Which? Reviews app to find out how the product fared in our test lab.
From the Which? Reviews app, you can also create a shortlist of products to keep an eye on for Amazon Prime Day. Our handy 'Compare' tool lets you see test results side by side.
For a full breakdown of the app's key features, see our guide: .4. Check if you're buying directly from the manufacturer
Once you've spotted a Prime Day deal, check whether you're buying the product directly from Amazon or through a third-party seller – this will potentially affect your rights if there's a problem.
In the example below, we're looking at the Amazon product page for a OnePlus smartphone. Although the phone is made by OnePlus, this specific item is sold and dispatched by a third-party seller (circled in red).
5. Be wary of fake reviews
Tread carefully if you're reading Amazon user reviews when deciding whether to make a purchase – our research has found that online customer reviews can't always be trusted.
Many dishonest reviewers (often working in partnership with the third-party seller) will use five-star reviews to boost the overall score of the product. Try checking four-star reviews and below for a more honest assessment of the product.
Keep an eye out for five-star reviews that contain lots of images. Our research has found fake review groups that encourage members to post pictures or videos alongside a positive review to get a refund for their purchase.
How to return Amazon items
If you buy a product on Amazon Prime Day and it arrives on your doorstep damaged, the retailer is fully responsible.
Under the Consumer Rights Acts, your purchase needs to be of satisfactory quality (not faulty or damaged), fit for purpose and as described. If your Prime Day product doesn't meet one of these requirements, the retailer (not the manufacturer) is in breach of the Consumer Rights Act.
Amazon will refund the cost of sending an item back if it was sold or dispatched by Amazon. If the item you purchased isn't eligible for a free return, and you’re using a pre-paid return label, Amazon will deduct the cost of the return from your refund.
How to recycle your old tech
If you're looking to replace some ageing technology by shopping the Prime Day sales, make sure you dispose of your old items in a responsible way.
You have a few options if you want to offload your unwanted electronics. Kerbside collection is suitable for small electrical items – in many cases, your local council will collect smaller items such as toasters and kettles. Alternatively, you can drop items at a local recycling centre.
