About Amazon problems

Amazon problems can affect a single step such as sign-in, search, checkout or order tracking, while the homepage still loads. Browser extensions that change prices, coupons or ads can interfere with Amazon pages and checkout. We have not verified an official status page for the Amazon store, so try a private window and another network before assuming an outage.

How this check works

  • One measurement location (single-self-hosted-probe), not a worldwide test.
  • We read only the response headers of the HTTPS homepage; page content and features are not tested.
  • We follow at most 5 HTTPS redirects and check every new address again.
  • The whole check stops after 10 seconds.
  • Results are reused for 60 seconds; this page refreshes its saved check at most every 10 minutes.

Typical Amazon problems

An editorial list of typical problems, not based on live user reports.

  • Sign-in keeps looping If the Amazon sign-in page keeps coming back, clear cookies for amazon.com only and sign in again. Guide: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
  • Checkout broken by an extension Coupon, price tracking and ad blocking extensions can stop parts of the Amazon checkout from loading, so test checkout in a private window. Guide: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT
  • Sorry, something went wrong page An Amazon error page that appears on several pages can come from Amazon's side, and trying again a little later is the right first step. Guide: 503 Service Unavailable
  • Amazon does not load on this network If amazon.com times out on one network but loads on mobile data, the network or router is a likely cause. Guide: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
  • Payment declined at checkout A declined payment on Amazon can be decided by the card issuer or bank, so check the card details and contact the bank if it continues.
  • Order tracking not updating If Amazon tracking stops updating, use Track package in Your Orders to see the carrier and tracking number, then check with that carrier.

General fixes: Shopping

  1. Check your orders before retrying If checkout shows an error, look at your orders page and your email for a confirmation before you try again. This avoids ordering or paying twice.
  2. Pause shopping extensions Coupon, price tracking and ad blocking extensions can break checkout pages. Test the checkout in a private window.
  3. Check the card details A decline can come from the card or the bank. Check the card number and expiry date, or ask your bank whether it stopped the payment.
