Since 25 years I am an Amazon customer. Since 2017 I am actively trying to avoid Amazon and use alternatives as much as possible, but still had purchases with Amazon.
Yesterday (cause of this call for boycott) I started my personal full exit from Amazon by dumping all my orders from 2004 to 2025 into local files. Had to use a “Chrome” browser (used Brave browser) with this extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/amazon-order-history-repo/mgkilgclilajckgnedgjgnfdokkgnibi - took few minutes until I understood its usage, but on the extension page there is a good manual. So in the end I got all my orders with date, price, name, … in CSV files.
Also I have requested all my Amazon stored data by DSGVO (GDPR) request, but this can take up to one month (according to them). So deleting my account during this boycott week is not likely :(
Remaining steps are:
check if there is any more important relevant information stored with my account
check if there is a way to download all invoices and do it
check from which international Amazon I have purchases (I remember at least U.S. and Japan), and do the same there
export my rather large wish-lists, which I used to track products and prices (will just print them into PDFs)
write letter about reasons to leave Amazon as long-time customer
