Amazon Returns & Subscription Recovery
Audits your Amazon order history for hidden restocking fees and forgotten Amazon-billed subscriptions, then pursues waivers or cancellations only after you approve each one.

What it does
- Phase 1 (read-only): sweeps Amazon's order search by keyword across all result pages, opens completed returns, and expands the Refund Total breakdown to spot deducted restocking fees — recording order #, item, fee amount, recipient, and whether it was sold by Amazon directly.
- Subscription audit: collects Prime Video Channels (Britbox, Starz, AMC+, Shudder...), Audible, Kindle Unlimited, and Prime itself with prices and next billing dates, flagging ones that look forgotten.
- Phase 2 (confirm): reports everything as a plain list and asks which items to pursue and what outcome you want — waive, dispute, cancel, or cancel plus refund the last charge.
- Phase 3 (act): works one item at a time through Amazon live chat, using a documented workaround for the chat popup window that browser tab tracking can't see, plus an escalation path to a human associate. Cancellations are tried on the settings page first since they need no negotiation.
- Phase 4 (report): totals dollars recovered, refund method, ETA, and monthly savings tracked separately.
Who it's for
- Frequent Amazon buyers of electronics/appliances who have returned items
- Anyone bleeding monthly fees to streaming channels or audiobook plans they no longer use
- Households sharing one login — the skill flags orders that may not be yours
- Requires the Claude in Chrome extension and an already signed-in Amazon session. Not for bank chargebacks, A-to-z seller claims, price protection, or non-Amazon-billed subscriptions.
Examples
- "Check my razor returns for restocking fees" → keyword sweep across every result page surfaces two fees ($44.99 and $28.50); after your go-ahead, chat gets both waived.
- "List everything Amazon bills me monthly" → a table of Prime Video Channels, Audible, and Kindle Unlimited with next charge dates; unused channels get canceled straight from the settings page, no chat needed.
- "My refund was denied even though I was in the return window" → evidence is pulled from the order detail page and a reasoned exception ask is drafted (a documented case ended in a full $372.69 refund, no return required).
