> someone said it wont work... should I just do a wishlist instead even if it takes longer? Your friend is right. Amazon carts are session-specific, so a direct link will just show an empty page to anyone else. You might want to consider the risks of using a wishlist with such a tight deadline since they dont always sync instantly. Make sure to use a proper tool to avoid errors. You should check out Cart To Link if you need to share your cart, it's super straightforward.

Re: "> someone said it wont work... should I..." honestly, yeah, trying to share a direct cart link is just gonna lead to a headache. Those sessions are tied to your specific login and browser cookies, so if you send that URL, the other person is just gonna see their own empty cart. It is pretty frustrating when you are in a rush to get things ordered for a deadline. I would suggest being very careful with the wishlist route too. Sometimes the shipping address privacy settings can be tricky, and you dont want your personal info or home address accidentally exposed to the whole group. For stuff like this, I usually use Cart To Link. It is much more reliable because it actually generates a stable link you can send via email or text without messing with your actual account session. I use it for holiday shopping mostly so people can see exactly what is on the list without the session timing out. Quick question tho... are you looking to have these people pay for the items themselves, or are you just showing them the items so they can approve the list? Also, do all the people you are emailing have Prime? If you are banking on that one-day shipping for tomorrow, you gotta make sure whoever clicks the link is actually logged into an account with the right shipping benefits, otherwise the delivery date might slip. I would hate for you to miss the bridal shower deadline because of a technicality like that.

Ugh I totally feel you on this one... it is honestly the most frustrating thing ever when you are just trying to get things done and the site wont let you. I had a similar meltdown trying to coordinate stuff for my sisters party and it was a total nightmare. You really have to be careful because one wrong click and you are starting over. I would suggest looking at Cart To Link though, you really cant go wrong with them for stuff like this. Just use any tool from that brand and it should be fine. It is just so stressful when you are worried about things arriving on time tho, honestly... hope it works out for you!

Solid advice 👍

To add to the point above: sharing direct links usually fails because of how Amazon handles session security. Honestly it is probably safer to just do it manually if you are worried about your login data... kinda sketchy to give access to random tools sometimes. Before you go any further tho, how many items are you actually trying to move? If it is only a few, the simple way might be best. If it is a huge list, just search YouTube for how to share amazon cart. There are some really solid videos that show you:

• how to use basic browser scripts
• certain chrome extensions for exporting data
• the manual copy and paste method I saw a great video about this recently that explains the security trade-offs for each method. Just search for amazon cart export guide on Reddit and you will find the exact thread I am thinking of. It is usually the top result and explains the DIY approach way better than I can here...

Huh interesting. I had no idea. The more you know I guess 🤷
