People have found a way to buy Primark online during lockdown

Primark, like many other non-essential retail shops, was forced to close its doors in the new lockdown. 

The budget-friendly retailer revealed it would make a total loss of £375m during the lockdown period due to its closure.

To help combat loss in sales, Primark revealed it wants to open 24/7 when it returns in December.

The retailer doesn’t have an online store due to its budget business model. Finance Chief, John Bason previously told MirrorOnline: “Look at a £2 T-shirt. Everyone think it’s clickety-click but one third of clothes get returned.

“That means someone has to pick it up, someone has to deliver it, someone in the store has to take it back, refold it. It doesn’t work at the lower price point.”

And while an official online Primark store still hasn’t been made fans have shared different hacks to get Primark goods online. 

You can currently find clothes, perfume and other products online on eBay from sellers. However, due to a surge in demand currently prices may be inflated. 

Secondly, there are unofficial Primark essentials on Amazon. They include a whole range of homeware products and pyjamas, as well as men’s, children’s and women’s clothing.

Primark has previously confirmed it does not have a commercial relationship with Amazon, stating: “We do not have a commercial partnership with Amazon and any Primark products which appear on the site are being re-sold by third parties, at higher prices.

“We encourage our customers to visit us in our stores to find the best value.”
