Amazon Request a Review queue: how to work through today's orders

A review request queue should make one decision clear: which delivered orders are ready for Amazon's official review request workflow today, and which orders should be skipped, routed, or left alone.

Quick answer

Work from a single queue of delivered orders, filter for orders that are ready and eligible, remove support issues, skip anything already requested, then bulk send official Amazon review requests for the remaining orders. Keep a record of sent, skipped, failed, and support-routed outcomes.

The point of a queue is not to make review request work fancy. It is to make the work repeatable. A seller, VA, or agency operator should be able to open the queue, make the same decisions each time, and close the batch with a clear history.

The queue should answer four questions

A practical daily queue workflow

  1. Start with delivered orders for the account and date range you normally review.
  2. Remove canceled, refunded, returned, pending, and failed-delivery orders from the send batch.
  3. Check whether an official Amazon review request has already been sent.
  4. Move orders with open buyer messages or support notes into a support queue.
  5. Bulk send official Amazon review requests for the eligible orders left in the queue.
  6. Review the batch summary before closing the work session.

What each queue status should mean

Status Meaning Operator action
Ready The order is delivered, eligible, and not previously requested. Send the official Amazon review request.
Already requested The order already has a request history. Skip it and keep it out of repeat work.
Support first The order has an unresolved buyer, delivery, refund, or return issue. Route it to support and keep the message focused on service.
Not ready The order is too new, pending, canceled, refunded, returned, or outside the seller's rule. Leave it out of today's send batch.
Failed The request attempt did not complete. Review the reason before retrying or closing the item.

Do and don't guide

Do Do not
Use one documented timing rule for eligible orders. Pick orders based on expected review outcome.
Use Amazon's official review request workflow. Replace it with custom buyer persuasion.
Separate support issues from review request sending. Add review language to a customer-service reply.
Record sent, skipped, routed, and failed results. Let the same unresolved orders reappear every work session.

Queue rule

If an order needs judgment about buyer happiness, keep it out of the send batch. Review request work should be based on order eligibility, request history, and a consistent timing rule.

How this changes for multiple seller accounts

Multi-account operators need the same queue logic, but they also need account separation. Each seller account should have its own timing rule, sent history, skipped reasons, and support-routed items. That keeps one account's backlog from hiding another account's ready orders.
