About Amazon outages
Amazon.com is the world’s largest online retailer. Full storefront outages are extremely rare; when they happen — often during Prime Day load — shoppers see the famous "Dogs of Amazon" error page instead of listings.
What to do when Amazon is down
- Try the Amazon mobile app if the website fails, or the reverse, since they hit different edge endpoints and one can work while the other errors.
- Outside the US, test the regional domain you normally use, such as amazon.co.uk or amazon.de, since Amazon runs region-specific storefronts that can fail independently.
- Check 'Your Orders' before resubmitting a purchase, since an order that appeared to fail at checkout sometimes still processed successfully on Amazon's end.
- Clear cookies or try a different browser if the dog error page keeps appearing on one device only, since cached session data can trigger it locally too.
Amazon alternatives to use in the meantime
If Amazon checkout or browsing is failing, retailers such as Walmart, Target, or Best Buy carry overlapping inventory for most everyday purchases, and many smaller sellers list the same products directly on their own sites. For anything urgent, picking it up at a local store avoids waiting on shipping estimates altogether. Avoid resubmitting an order that appeared to fail at checkout — check 'Your Orders' first, since it may have already gone through.
Amazon FAQ
Why am I seeing the "Dogs of Amazon" error page?
The dog error page is Amazon’s friendly 5xx — the retail site itself failed to render your request. It typically appears during high-load events and clears on refresh within minutes; persistent dogs across pages indicate a genuine Amazon incident.
Is Amazon down or is it just checkout failing?
Amazon degrades in slices: search, product pages, cart, and payments are separate systems. Checkout erroring while browsing works is a known partial-outage pattern — your order usually completes once the payment pipeline recovers, so avoid submitting it repeatedly.
Is Amazon down for everyone or just me?
We test Amazon (https://amazon.com) live from our own servers. If our check succeeds but you still can't connect, the outage is probably local to you — try another network or device, clear your cache, or check Amazon's official status channels.
