Amazon UK Runs Huge Promo But Excludes 3P Sellers

By: Ina Steiner

Sponsored Link

Amazon is running a huge promotion for buyers in the UK today, August 3, 2015: It's giving 10 pounds off any order of 50 pounds or more. All UK customers can take advantage of the deal - all they have to do is insert the promo code "BIGTHANKS" at checkout.

The company said it was running the 1-day promotion to thank its customers for ranking it number one among British retailers, and cited a survey by Havas.

The good news: the promotion will drive shoppers to Amazon.com.

The bad news: the promotion excludes items for sale by third-party sellers.

According to the terms and conditions: "The Offer only applies to items sold by Amazon at the website www.amazon.co.uk (the "Website"). The Offer does not apply to purchases made from Amazon's Warehouse Deals or from third-party sellers on Amazon's Marketplace platform."

Be sure to read all the details and restrictions if you're interested in this customer promotion.

As an Amazon 3P seller, I wouldn't want to be included because I would suspect that the discount would come out of my income. Thanks but no thanks. That is a 20% discount is my math is right and that is a big chunk to lose for a 3P seller when Amazon wants give a thank you gift.

I've sold on amazon for around 14 years now and have never received a bonus or anything else from them in all these years, no matter how profitable they have become. Like what about some stocks for each seller that sells a certain amount each year?

Amazon will be rid of 3P sellers entirely VERY soon..Mark my words...This has been the trend for several years now.
