How to Find Archived Orders on Amazon

Launched in 1996, Amazon was just a web platform that sells only books. Throughout these, Amazon has evolved from a small-scale online bookseller to an international business giant. Amazon is now the largest e-commerce platform in the world that sells almost everything from A to Z. Amazon is now the leading enterprise in web services, e-commerce, selling, buying, and a multitude of businesses including the Artificial Intelligence bases Alexa. Millions of people place their orders in Amazon for their needs. Amazon really has an easy and organized user interface. Almost all of us have ordered something or wished to order something on Amazon. Amazon automatically stores the products you have orders so far, and it can also store your Wish List so that people find it easy to choose the perfect gift for you.

But sometimes, there will be instances when we wish to keep our orders on Amazon private. That is, hidden from others. If you share your Amazon account with other people such as your family members and friends, you might encounter this situation. Especially, you might want to hide some embarrassing orders, or if you want to keep your gifts a secret. A simple thought could be of deleting the orders. But unfortunately, Amazon does not let you do so. It keeps a record of your previous orders. But still, you can hide your orders in one way. Amazon provides an option to archive your orders, and this would be of help if you wish to hide your orders from other people. Come on! Let’s learn more about archived orders and how to find archived orders on Amazon.

How to Find Archived Orders on Amazon

What are Archived Orders?

Archived orders are the orders that you move to the Archive section of your Amazon account. If you want an order not to be seen by others, you can archive it. Archiving an order moves that order to the Archive section of Amazon, and hence it would not show up in your Order History. This is particularly useful if you wish some of your orders to remain hidden. Those orders will not be a part of your Amazon Order History. If you wish to see them, you can find them from your Archived Orders. I hope now you know what an archived order is. Let us now jump into the topic and see how to find Archived Orders on Amazon.
