and what a load of **** it is too. i did find the recently browsed items/recommendations useful but now it's just images with no prices or details. now you have to hover your mouse over each item. lame.

Think this has to be the first time I've found a webpage "update" horrible.

Up for me with a new homepage.

That's obviously why it was down then I guess.

The front page has been like that for a day or two.

My Amazon page still looks exactly the same as before, even with a few refreshes to make sure I'm not looking at a cached version.

I'm sorry. My wife wore Amazon out.

GeezerButler · 15 Feb 2015 at 21:43

Yep - gone again...

Kelt · 15 Feb 2015 at 21:49

Yep, on Virgin and it's down for me.

I'm on BT, and its down for me too.

Maybe Amazon should pay its taxes then. /s

It would be interesting to know how much even 10 minutes of downtime costs a company the size of Amazon. I imagine it could easily run into the millions.

Fine here i bought a few things after a long browse just after 6pm.

I needed a new basting brush but Amazon is down = life over what will I baste with now?

ianh · 15 Feb 2015 at 22:04

It seems to be down again, it was fine earlier for me but now it's gone again.

Hundreds of millions. (though thats for a whole day) ~2m every 10 minutes.

Crudest of maths.

It's been only intermittently working for me for the past few hours. Right now, it's down.

mikegeekpc · 15 Feb 2015 at 22:09

Back down again, might be doing maintenance or something.

Amazon UK revenue isn't quite that high

£200m per day is £73bn per year.

robgmun · 15 Feb 2015 at 22:11

That's pretty bad for a company this size, must have lost several million by now as it's still down for me 3 hrs later

Which is pretty much their revenue, but yes that would be worldwide.
