Amazon has launched a huge sale off home essentials

Amazon's Everyday Essentials Week runs from 21 to 27 May, slashing the prices on groceries, cleaning items, beauty products, and more.
Products from big brands like Andrex, Fairy, Flash and Gillette Venus will all be discounted.
Shoppers will also be able to snap up grocery products from brands such as Cadbury and Twinings, for up to 30% cheaper.
The discounts will apply to all UK customers, with Prime members also able to access free delivery and same-day delivery in over 80 towns and cities across the UK.
Amazon said that the event will offer shoppers savings 'on products for every room of the home, and for every member of the family – from baby wipes, shampoo, and toilet roll, to coffee pods, pet food, and fabric softener.'
Bargain fans will also be pleased to learn that there will also be up to 15% off Amazon's own brand lines, including Amazon Basics and Amazon Essentials.
Whilst the sales are exciting, they've also caught the attention of vile scam artists.
Experts have revealed the most common Amazon scams and how to avoid them during the shopping frenzy.
The first being the Prime membership scam, where criminals contact victims via email or text to alert members of an 'issue' with the account.
They then send an email with a link, prompting users to 'verify' their account details.
"To avoid this, always check the sender of any email or text you receive," the QR Code Generator team told The Sun.
"As convincing as scammers can be, Amazon will never ask you to share sensitive information via phone, text or email.
"If you receive one of these messages, don't engage with it. Instead, go directly to the Amazon app or website to check the status of your account."
Another to look out for is the fake order confirmation scam, where criminals send fake emails claiming there was an issue with the order.
These emails usually contain links to fraudulent websites designed to steal personal details and payment information.
The experts told us: "If you receive an email regarding an issue with your order, do not click any links. Instead, check the status of any orders through the Amazon app or website.
"It is also advisable to enable two-factor authentication for extra security."
The third scam is the fake listing scam where scammers create false shop fronts on Amazon, offering high-demand items at unbeatable prices.
Shoppers will then be sent a counterfeit product or nothing at all.
The experts said: "It is important to always check a seller's reviews and be cautious of deals that seem suspicious. Stick to well-reviewed sellers or those marked as 'Amazon Verified.'
"If you do fall victim to a fake listing scam, you can often resolve this by contacting Amazon.
"Click 'I have an issue with a seller' on the Amazon app or website to start the refund process. However, while you may get your money back, it is safest to avoid this scam altogether."
This comes after Amazon launched a rival to Temu and Shein, with thousands of products selling for £20 or less.
'Haul' was unveiled in the UK last week, after being launched in the US last year.
The service is initially being trialled among select customers before being rolled out for all customers "in the coming weeks".

Major change kicks in for EVERY driveway in England ‘to save months of delays and cut costs'
It hopes to accelerate the rollout of EVs CHARGING AHEAD Major change kicks in for EVERY driveway in England 'to save months of delays and cut costs' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR rule change has come for drivers around the UK in a positive move for home and vehicle owners. The change involves the installation of electric vehicle (EV) chargers for both public and private use. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The new driveway law is for every household in the UK Credit: Alamy 2 It is expected to save thousands of pounds a year and wait times Credit: Alamy There is a current target to install 300,000 chargers across the UK by 2030, a goal set out by the previous Conservative government. From this week, those wanting to install an EV charger will no longer require planning permission from a local authority. The new move by Labour is expected to save driver £1,100 a year, as well as months of delays. Liberty to install EV chargers was already the case for most on a private property with off-street parking. But for larger public developments, a green light from local authorities was required. CEO of charger provider Osprey, Ian Johnston, told Autocar last year: "The problem is you've got to go through a process which is under-resourced and takes six to nine months to get planning permission.' The process has been deemed a key bottleneck in the roll-out of the nation's EV and charging network. The Future of Roads Minister, Lilian Greenwood, said: "We're cutting down on paperwork to power up the EV revolution so that drivers, businesses and those looking to make the switch will have more charge points to power from and less red tape to deal with." These rule changes hope to help the "EV revolution" by what Ms Greenwood considers making it "easier than ever to install EV chargers" for EV drivers across the UK. The Labour MP continued: "We continue to make the switch to EVs easier, cheaper and better by investing over £2.3billion to support drivers and back British carmakers through international trade deals - creating jobs, boosting investment and securing our future as part of our Plan for Change." Audi launches NEW superfast charging hybrid with eye-watering price Operations Director at Osprey Charging Network, Lewis Gardiner welcomed the government's "practical change" in policy which he believes will make a "huge difference" for the industry. He added: "Removing the need for planning permission for essential electrical infrastructure like substations across the majority of sites will save months of delays, reduce costs and accelerate the delivery of the rapid charging hubs drivers need." Jack Counsens, head of roads policy at The AA, praised the positive step but said the government should be doing all it can: "The crucial element is ensuring grid connection in a timely manner. "This is especially important in rural locations and areas where there is no dedicated off-street parking." A charger mapping by firm Zap-Map has shown there were more than 79,000 publicly accessible charge points across the UK at the end of last month. This is an increase of 6,000 since the end of 2024, but just a quarter of the final goal for the next five years.
