Amazon shopping cart empty?

Anyone else having problems with Amazon's website today? The site is very slow to respond, and my cart which should have 20 items in the "Save Later" category is empty. What gives?

Amazon's been down for about an hour now. I figured out it wasn't just me by searching Twitter:

I noticed this today.

I have over 300 items saved in my cart since 2007 and I hope I don't lose them forever since I will buy an item if the price drops and reaches a reasonable rate.

You left your empty cart in the parking lot and it rolled and dinged my car!

I'm getting a 404 - Document Not Found.

"We're sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site."

Bah, and I was just about to order Death Race 2000 on BD.

I was able to get into my seller account and this is what they posted:

Re: Amazon shopping cart empty?

I went to buy a book for a housewarming gift for a newly divorced friend and thought it was sold out. Then I freaked out and thought it was OOP already and went to BN.com and bought it there.

Went back to Amazon later and couldn't find anything in stock.

And for your entertainment . . . THE BOOK



Might be NFSW if you watch the video . . .

Re: Amazon shopping cart empty?

For me. No pictures load on home page. Every single item is discontinued/no longer available. Search works but all individual product links are dead.

Re: Amazon shopping cart empty?

Yeah, I dunno bro. The 1st thing I do when I get online is get on here (it's my homepage) and also open a tab to check what my cart looks like now w/ the change in prices.

Re: Amazon shopping cart empty?

It was just up for me, but it's search engine is completely hosed. I search for titles and the results have absolutely nothing to do with what I searched for.

Re: Amazon shopping cart empty?

I just spent some time yesterday adding even more items to my saved cart and it put me right at the max limit so having to start over just can't be on my mind at this point. I'm hoping it's still something they will be fixing soon.

This happened to me once before and it returned to normal later on. I did call about it, though, because I was concerned for many reasons a lot of you are and they did say they can't guarantee the items would return, but they did return to the cart.

Mine have not returned , I only had around 18-21 items so no biggie.
Some of them were in there so long I can't remember what they were?

Re: Amazon shopping cart empty?

Mine's fine, but this thread has scared me. Perhaps I should print or otherwise save the hundreds of items I have in my 'saved for later' cart.
