How To Provide Feedback to Amazon About Their Website
I order a lot from Amazon and use Quicken to track my spending. When I get a credit card bill, I look at my order history to match amounts with orders so I can categorize spending. Sometime between now and the last time I looked, Amazon removed the order amount from the order history page. Any ideas how to contact Amazon to suggest they put this back? Sometime ago, they changed the amount to exclude tax, but after a time changed it back.

Click " View Order Details" on the item, all transaction info is there.

Thanks, but I'm not interested in getting into a lengthy chat discussion with one of their less-than-competent CSRs. I'm looking for a link to provide feedback without a discussion.

This is likely a design feature to encourage additional spending, they've also removed order totals from email notifications as well.
My theory is it reduces buyer's remorse and subsequent product returns.

They don't care. They intermingle products "shipped and sold with Amazon" with third party products to get you to buy questionable products, including counterfeit products without solid supply chains, without realizing it. The whole site is designed to manipulate you. Even if you buy something shipped and sold by amazon they intermingle it with seedy third party sellers who may be selling counterfeits when they ship the products. The site is a game to them, if more people are clicking buy that's all they care about.MarkerFM wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 7:32 am I order a lot from Amazon and use Quicken to track my spending.

Most tech companies modify their UI/UX based on analytics and A/B testing in order to maximize revenue and engagement. Amazon taking away these totals from this view is most likely very deliberate. Telling them you want it back will mean nothing because they've already proven they are better off financially without it. If they weren't they wouldn't have changed the page.

No need for a lengthy chat. Just dump your feedback and leave.MarkerFM wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 9:20 amThanks, but I'm not interested in getting into a lengthy chat discussion with one of their less-than-competent CSRs. I'm looking for a link to provide feedback without a discussion.
It will have the same impact either way.

Re: How To Provide Feedback to Amazon About Their Website
Interesting. I see the order total on every purchase email notification. After purchasing an item, almost immediately I hear the "ding" from my email program confirming my purchase from Amazon via email.
Since I had just made a purchase, even with my sometimes poor memory, I can remember long enough to verify the charge was accurate.
I also see the order total on the email notice of shipping, but not on the email notice of delivery. OTOH, all my orders have been inspected immediately after purchase.
So far as the confusing issues for shared accounts, as mentioned by someone else, we don't have those issues at all. We each have an account via my Prime membership. DW orders and pays for her purchases with her credit cards, I order and pay for my purchases with my credit cards. I can't (and I don't want to) see her purchases, and she can't see mine.
If one of us is ordering something we both want for the casa, or buying a gift for someone, one of us will order, and the other transfers the share of the payment to the other.
DW and I are not messing around in each other's Amazon accounts, or with each other's credit cards, and such.

Re: How To Provide Feedback to Amazon About Their Website
I was also extremely annoyed by this. I left feedback with an associate from the customer chat team, he assured me he will pass it to the specialist team, so maybe if there are enough annoyed voices we can convince them to change back.MarkerFM wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 7:32 am I order a lot from Amazon and use Quicken to track my spending.

Twitter is the most likely place to get someone's attention at corporate, especially if you got a lot of retweets, but honestly, this isn't worth your time. Yeah, it'd be great if they had an easier way (I deal with this too), but they're like the 3rd largest company in the world. They made this change for a reason and someone's suggestion isn't going to go anywhere. I guarantee you they have a process and a panel that evaluated the change and consciously chose to display their data this way.
Passing it to a customer service rep is probably as useless as calling your senator to ask them to change their vote. Yeah, good luck.

Re: How To Provide Feedback to Amazon About Their Website
I don’t have a suggestion but thanks for posting this. I thought I was going crazy the other day when I was looking for the amounts in my order history. Anyway, when you give them the feedback you can tell them there are at least two people that don’t like this change.MarkerFM wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 7:32 am I order a lot from Amazon and use Quicken to track my spending.

There is an alternative ...
Just to the left of the "Orders" link there is a link for "Accounts and Lists."
From the drop down click on "Account"
On the page that comes up click on "Your Payments" (near the middle of the page)
Next click on "Transactions"

This^^^
Amazon knows exactly what their doing and why.
Re: How To Provide Feedback to Amazon About Their Website
This still requires one to click on each order to see what it was. On the order page, you can tell immediately what you ordered.bertilak wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 11:08 pmI already did that and someone chimed in that they did also.MarkerFM wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 7:32 am I order a lot from Amazon and use Quicken to track my spending.

Those steps get you to a list of orders with total cost (item, shipping, tax) shown for each order in the list. It is the very reason I posted those steps. One can see everything at once without clicking through to each order. One can simply scan down the list to find the amount that matches the charge on the credit card. It's all right there.

Re: How To Provide Feedback to Amazon About Their Website
Ummm, it tells you the amount and the order number, but does not display what was on the order. Determining that requires clicking the order to display the item.bertilak wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 7:40 amThat is not true.MarkerFM wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 7:29 amThis still requires one to click on each order to see what it was.

Re: How To Provide Feedback to Amazon About Their Website
My apologies. You are right. I was focused in finding the order, not seeing all the details of the order. Once I've found the order I don't mind having to look at the order to see the details.
One advantage of that list is that is is more concise than the normal list of orders. I do agree that it is unfortunate that one has to go through those steps to see the list but I honestly like that list better as a way to FIND orders that match credit card charges. You can see more on one screen.
I also agree that Amazon probably has ulterior motives for the change. They are less interested in your convenience than in their marketing effectiveness.

Under “ordering and shopping preferences” there’s an option to “download order reports”
That allows you to specify dates and download CSV files of your purchases with prices.
Remember when you wanted what you currently have?
Re: How To Provide Feedback to Amazon About Their Website
Happy news - I just saw that the order totals are back.
So maybe they did listen if enough people left feedback, I certainly did.
