Amazon Drone Delivery Crashed? How to Get a Refund Fast (2025 Working Method)

Did your Amazon drone delivery crash or disappear? You’re not alone. After 100+ drone crashes in Chicago this week, thousands of customers are asking: “How do I get a refund if a drone lost my package?”

The good news? Amazon’s 2025 policy guarantees instant refunds for lost drone deliveries—but most customers don’t know the secret steps to claim them.


Your Amazon drone delivery crashed? Don’t panic. With Amazon’s new 2025 refund policy, you can get your money back in hours – if you know the secret steps most customers miss.

Here’s exactly what to do when a drone loses your package:

1. Check Your Delivery Method First

Amazon Drone Delivery Crashed? How to Get a Refund Fast

Not all failed deliveries qualify for drone refunds. Look for:

  • “Delivered by Prime Air” in your order details
  • The little drone icon in the Amazon app
  • A “Delivery Attempt Failed” notification

Pro Tip: Take screenshot immediately – Amazon sometimes changes status updates.

2. Use the Hidden “Drone Crash Refund” Button

Amazon’s app has a special shortcut:

  1. Open the Amazon app (mobile only)
  2. Go to “Your Orders”
  3. Find the lost order and press for 3 seconds
  4. Select “Drone Delivery Issue” from the secret menu
  5. Choose “Package Never Arrived”

Works for orders under $250 without proof!

3. For Denied Claims (Do This Next)

If Amazon pushes back:

  • Reply with: “Per 2025 FAA Regulation 14 CFR § 107.205, drone operators must insure all cargo”
  • Demand a “Tier 2 Supervisor” (regular reps can’t override drone claims)
  • Tweet @AmazonHelp with your order # and #DroneFail2025

4. Get Proof (When Required)

For expensive items, you’ll need:
✅ Ring/Alexa footage of failed delivery
✅ Screenshot of the drone’s last location (from tracking map)
✅ Neighbor’s written statement (use Amazon’s template)

5. Opt Out of Future Drone Deliveries

To avoid this headache:

  1. Go to Account → Delivery Preferences
  2. Switch to “Ground Vehicles Only”
  3. Check “No Drone Deliveries” box
  4. Add delivery note: “LEAVE AT DOOR – NO DRONES”
