Question

Will my family member see my purchase if I buy something from the Amazon Wish List?

Community Answer

If it's the family member's Amazon account. They will be also sent a confirmation email indicating that an order has been placed, and another alerting that the item has been shipped.

Question

If I archive something on Amazon, will I still be able to see the tracking?

Community Answer

Just because an item has been “archived” does not make it completely invisible to you (or anyone else who knows that it is archived). It can be unarchived. That being said, I usually take the original email that I receive from the Amazon purchase, and keep it in a folder on your phone or computer. Since archiving an item can only be accomplished on a computer using the full (not mobile) site version, it remains a bit of a laborious process. I suggest trying it on an item to see how it goes. I use it from time to time to keep my 2 boys from seeing what I’ve purchased. It’s always handy to hide all of my Christmas gift purchases.

Question

Can't see this option on my desktop page? What should I do?

Community Answer

Look in the top-right corner of the par above any order. You will see 'Order Details' under the order number, and next to 'Invoice'. Click on the Order Details button. The Archive button will be on the next screen.
