That was apparently due to customer complaints, as people did not want “Shipped, I dozen extra small condoms” 
to show up in their email.
Sure you can. Just click on the “3%” or whatever next to the ratings. I just did that. Quite a few others here also had no issues.
Same here.
I found it slightly annoying but I understand why the change.
Yep, I noticed it a couple of days ago.
My last Amazon order email was from an item delivered to us on July 25th. My wife orders frequently, so I’ll keep an eye out for the next one.
My screenshots were for items delivered yesterday.
Cite? Any reason this couldn’t be an option, instead of being forced on everyone?
It does not work for me, I have tried multiple times and in multiple ways. I’m sorry if you don’t believe me, or think that I am a moron.
So they are.
Google Gemini, FWIW, reports that the first day the email change kicked in was July 8th. Like you, I’m also a longtime Prime member … and I’m wondering if that’s meaningful in some way. Maybe our account options are somehow frozen, and we’re not experiencing the various changes newer Prime users are. Seems odd, but I don’t have any better information.
Something that occurred to me: Could it be anything to do with your browser and/or extensions/ad-blocking software? Have you had a chance to try all this on multiple devices/browsers?
EDIT: Wait a minute – a lot of this is Amazon’s response to AI data scraping and related issues. @Roderick_Femm , see article below:
When you were asked to send an email to see reviews, you are actually asking for an appeal to have your interactions with the Amazon site returned to their prior state. According to that article, once Amazon gets such an appeal and confirms a human is using the account, your usual interactions are restored.
Same here. My wife orders a shit-ton of stuff from Amazon - we get deliveries almost every day. Even at that I easily know what items are shipped from that vague description.
Plus, nothing ever takes longer than two days at the most. When we lived in Visalia sometime we would receive things the same day. I’m just not seeing this as that big of a deal.
I’d be willing to bet they have less complaints now.
Just an online rumor. Which is why I said “apparently”.
Not at all. But why jump on me?
So, maybe you got some change no one else here has?
I don’t think that’s it. I am a long time Prime member (a quick search shows I joined in 2013) and I’ve got the new, more anonymized confirmation emails. I also don’t care for them much, but it’s not a deal-breaker for me.
Others have had this change. Many others. This is a very weird thing if you’ve been using the Net for 25+ years and haven’t run into any kind of targeted actions from a consumer site. But yeah … now we’re in a world where Amazon can and does deliver wildly different interface experiences to different users, for better or worse.
Man, is the AI stuff THAT big a conundrum for Amazon? I do understand the email changes … but locking down review filtering? BTW – AI will get around all this stuff, too, and probably in five minutes. Do better, Amazon.
Thank you for your suggestions. I have not yet tried it with a different browser, I will do that.
And especially thank you for that link, it makes sense, in that it sounds exactly like the sort of nutty thing that happens when AI is in the process. So I will wait my 5 days to see if my “request” produces any results.
It’s kind of the reverse – these user-interface inconveniences are Amazon’s response to AI being in the process. The process of purchasing items, or collecting review data, and so forth.
Now I’m curious as to what, exactly, a legit human user does (presumably inadvertently) to make Amazon think “That’s an AI bot!!”?
