    Hi, We have been working with Amazon Relay for about a year doing box trucks with no issue. About 2 weeks ago in the middle of the day we suddenly couldnt see the loadboard. We opened a support ticket with no response but in about 2 hours we got an email stating.

    Dear Carrier,
    We have detected some irregularities in your company’s Relay account. Accordingly, your company’s Relay account will be suspended, effective immediately, pending the results of our internal investigation.

    Please contact relay-am@amazon.com with any further questions.

    -Relay Account Management


    We emailed them but never got a response. About 8 hours later the account was back to normal and they never provided any information about what happened or why it was suspended. That was 2 weeks ago.
    Now 2 days ago the same thing happened with the same email coming to us about 2 hours after the loadboard disappeared. We still get no response trying to email them. It's now been 2 days and the account isn't back to normal.
    Does anyone know what this means? Is it taking longer this time for a reason? The first time it happened was right before Prime Day so I don't know if they pushed it thru faster that time because of that. Are they not going to unsuspend it this time, are they not going to give a reason?

    We also had some people steal all our MC information(including insurance docs, EIN) earlier this year and they booked loads with a carrier(Landstar) in order to double-book the loads. It was caught that time but who knows any other times it may happen. I don't know if they have been trying to use our info to do something with Amazon or what, amazon wont explain anything to us.

    It seems that every week there is a new story about problems with Amazon. They are just too much trouble to deal with in my opinion. Nobody ever seems to get anything straightened out with these people.

    As long as I get my package of chatterbaits on time there won’t be any trouble. Otherwise, there’s gonna be some necks with more holes in them than they were born with!

    Yes, the devastating news that my monthly trip to Kentucky has been postponed a week has me a bit on the cranky side. :(

    Took the words right out of my mouth. This is like the 4th or 5th horror story in less than 2 months regarding Amazon cutting people off at the nads! The warning signs are there but nobody listens!
    Folks,maybe it’s time to drop Amazon before they drop you!
    Drop their butts like everyone who is dropping Yellow!

    I don't know anything about Amazon. But it is possible that the the theft and illegal activity with your MC# triggerd something with Amazon.

    Good luck with Amazon. Good rates back in the day and actual carrier support channels. Not so much these days.

    they have more carriers signing up daily then they know what to do with. So them closing accounts with a hint of an issue is basically being on the cautious side.

    That's what I'm worried about but they won't even communicate their issues. It's crazy.

    Why should they tell people they cut off to cheating, stealing, etc. why? The more Amazon tells these people, the easier it is to find loopholes to keep up their shady work.
