Ever since Amazon got rid of order report functionality last year, I’ve been trying to find an easy way to export my order history. As it turns out, Amazon actually still offers a way to do this using their “Request My Data” tool, though it’s buried deep within their help pages.

Here’s the direct link to access: https://www.amazon.com/hz/privacy-central/data-requests/preview.html

There actually a number of different data sets you can download, most notably:

• Your Orders

• Search History

• Advertising

• Amazon Photos and Drive

• Prime Video

• Customer Support Communication

Unfortunately, the process to access the data requires a few steps – you submit a request, then have to confirm it by clicking a link sent to your email. You will then receive a link a few hours later to download the requested data.

I’ve only tried requesting order information thus far, but am pleasantly surprised with the robustness of the data. Here's a link to a high level summary I put together showing the full set of reports and fields Amazon provides when you request your order data

There are obviously a ton of things you can look at in this data, though wanted to highlight a few based on common questions I see on this subreddit

• Returns Tracking – a lot of folks have reported issues with not knowing the tracking numbers for returns (e.g., if they are dropped off at UPS via QR code). The “Return Requests” file lists the tracking number for all returns you’ve requested

• Return Reimbursement – the return reports also provide a comprehensive list of refunds from Amazon. You should be able to compare this information to your return requests to make sure that there aren’t any items that you sent back but haven’t been refunded for (I’ve already identified a few in my data!)

• Prime Subscription Tracking – transactions related to your Prime subscription are in the “digital order” reports, which may be worth checking to ensure you aren’t being double charged for Prime, etc.

Hopefully others find this as helpful as I did (and apologies if this was common knowledge already!)

I placed an order on the 9th for a new case and screen protector, then a rug for my little sister’s room. It was listed as “Out for Delivery” this morning. Then I ordered two books (for me and my mom to share/swap) today a few hours before I got this email saying that my account was placed on hold and any pending orders will be cancelled blah blah.

It’s probably on hold because I used my mom’s card for these purchases (with her permission ofc) and I’m sure her card is probably attached to her own Amazon acct so thats the only reason that makes sense. I sent in the verifications they’re asking for but I cannot access my account until the review is over. I called CS but the guy said he also can’t see my account because of the hold and when I asked if my items that were already marked “out for delivery” would still be delivered he said “I’m not sure”….

I’m hoping someone who has been through this has a more concrete answer about what to expect. It was estimated to be delivered between 3:15pm and 5:15 pm last time I checked but it’s 7:18pm now and I can’t tell if it’s actually not coming or if it’s just delayed.

Right now I have to open the Amazon app, click the order, scroll down, click view order details, then scroll down again to see the total paid for an order.

Is there an app that shows your orders with the amounts you paid right on the same screen?

This would be helpful because I’m using a budgeting app to track expenses. When I do an Amazon order I need to be able to go into the budget app and properly categorize each expense. $13.56 is pets, $21.45 is personal care, $15.73 is medical, etc.
