Have you ever searched through your Amazon order history for a specific item, only to find it’s nowhere in sight? You know you bought it, but it seems to have vanished. Chances are, you’ve archived that order. Archiving is a handy feature for tidying up your main orders page, hiding purchases you don’t need to see regularly without deleting the record.
Whether it’s a gift you don’t want to spoil or a purchase you simply want out of your immediate view, archiving is the perfect solution. Let’s walk through exactly how to find those hidden orders when you need them.
How to View Your Archived Orders
Finding your archived orders is a simple process, whether you’re using a computer or the Amazon mobile app. On the desktop website, start by hovering over ‘Account & Lists’ in the top right corner and click ‘Your Orders.’ On the main orders page, look for the dropdown menu labeled ‘Last 3 months.’ Click it and select ‘Archived Orders.’ Just like that, you’ll see a list of all the purchases you’ve tucked away.
Managing Orders on the Amazon App
If you’re using your phone, the steps are just as easy. Open the Amazon app and tap the three-line menu icon. Go to ‘Your Account’ and then select ‘Your Orders.’ You won’t see the ‘Archived Orders’ filter immediately. Instead, tap the filter button, which often looks like a funnel or says ‘Filter orders.’ From the list of options, choose ‘Archived Orders’ to view them. You may need to scroll a bit in the filter menu to find it.
Bringing an Order Back to Your Main List
What if you need to un-archive an order? Perhaps you need to track the shipment again or find the product’s serial number. Once you’ve navigated to your ‘Archived Orders’ list using the steps above, you’ll see an option for each item labeled ‘Archive order.’ Clicking this button will actually move the order out of the archive and back into your standard order history. It’s a quick toggle to manage what you see on your main page.
Using the archive feature is a fantastic way to keep your Amazon order history clean and relevant. It helps you focus on recent purchases and active shipments while ensuring past orders are never truly lost, just neatly filed away for when you need them.
