THOUSANDS of Brits are struggling to access online shopping giant Amazon this morning.

Reports on social media suggest both the Amazon app and website are not working in the UK, with frustrated users being shown a blank screen.

The issue emerged on Thursday afternoon and has continued into Friday, according to online outage tracker DownDetector.

More than 2,000 people have logged complaints with the site since yesterday.

Problems with Amazon don’t appear to affect residents in other European countries, or users in the United States, DownDetector shows.

In the UK, it seems only a small number of users are experiencing issues. We tried the Amazon app and website at The Sun HQ in London and they both appeared to be working.
