3. 2. Gear Up
Going back to school means lots of purchases.
Anything you might need for school, be it a new
laptop, satchel, or even clothes, Amazon will
have the sharpest prices, quickest delivery, and
easiest return policy.
4. 3. Use Amazon Locker
Getting an MBA means long hours. Don’t trust
your devious neighbors or roommates with your
packages? Have them shipped to an Amazon
Locker near you. Simply stop by, enter your
unique passcode, and viola! Safe, secure, and
convenient delivery.
5. 4. Consider Textbook Rentals
Want to avoid going into the crowded and
sometimes depleted campus bookstore? Try
renting your textbooks through Amazon. This
new service ships your books to you and
provides free return shipping at the end of the
semester.
6. 5. Clean Up with Trade In
Going back to school usually means moving,
leaving a job, and taking out loans. On Amazon
you can trade in old books, electronics, and
media that you no longer use. Free up space
and add some extra dough to your wallet.
7. 6. Subscribe and Save!
Finding yourself needing to buy the same items
over and over again? Toilet paper? Cleaning
supplies? Shampoo? Diapers? Lighten your
load and save some money with Amazon’s
Subscribe and Save program. Add 5 items to
be delivered on a regular basis and save 15%
on your order!
8. 7. Audiobooks
As an MBA student, you are going to be asked
to read a lot, and then some. Why not join
Audible.com (owned by Amazon) and offload
some of that reading from your eyes to your
ears. Listen to “The Goal” while you drive or go
for a run. Get more done in less time!
9. 8. Amazon Cloud Drive
Get your own free slice of the most powerful
web service platform in the world. Amazon
Cloud Drive is a great alternative to Dropbox
and Google Drive that runs on Amazon Web
Services, the same system that powers Netflix,
Reddit, the NASDAQ and many, many more.
