Is Amazon down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Amazon right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Amazon continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are website / app down, can't log in, store or purchases, checkout or payment, search not working, orders or tracking, images not loading and slow or laggy. Those are the options the report button offers for Amazon, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Amazon specifically, the storefront, checkout, payments and the seller tools are separate, and Amazon runs a separate site per country. amazon.com can be fine while another country's site is not, and checkout can fail while browsing works perfectly. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Amazon, open the site in a private window on another network. Browsing working while only checkout fails points at checkout or your payment method. Your regional site failing while another country's loads points at that site. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Amazon's side. Specifically: do not place the same order twice. A checkout that appears to fail frequently completes with a late confirmation email, so reordering creates a duplicate you then have to cancel. Check your orders page first. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Amazon does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe amazon.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Amazon says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Amazon or amazon.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Amazon's own support, not us.
