Can I send my Amazon cart to someone else for purchase?

Question

honestly so fed up with Amazons Share List feature right now it is actually making me want to pull my hair out lol. I have spent hours picking out the perfect parts for my new gaming rig but the wishlist feature keeps messing up the quantities and it wont show the specific sellers I chose to save money. its so glitchy and half the time the items just dont show up on their end when I send the link.

I am trying to stay under a 1200 budget for the whole build and my parents are being super sweet and offered to buy the stuff for me since I am graduating soon and moving into my first place in Chicago next month. I need everything to arrive by next Friday so I can actually be there to sign for the packages. Here is what I need to happen:

the exact items from my cart need to be there

they have to see the specific used or refurbished options I picked to save them cash

it needs to be one click for them because they are NOT tech savvy at all and will definitely click the wrong thing if it is a list

Is there like any possible way to just send them a link to my actual live cart? I tried googling it but all I see are old articles about Amazon Fresh and it is just not helping. Im getting so excited to finally play games on something that isnt a potato but if I cant figure out how to get this list to them without them buying the wrong parts I am gonna lose it...

yo congrats on the move to chicago! hope you are ready for that wind lol. anyway, amazon makes this way harder than it should be because carts are tied to your specific browser session and account id. if you just copy the url, it shows up empty for everyone else. since you are dealing with used and refurbished parts for your gaming rig, you definitely need something that locks in the merchant id. i have had a decent experience using Cart To Link for these exact scenarios. it is basically a web tool that converts your active cart into a shareable landing page.it pulls the specific skus you have selecteddoesn't require your parents to install any weird extensionscreates a simple add all to cart button for them the only thing to watch out for is that used inventory is super volatile. if a part you found for cheap sells out while the link is sitting in their inbox, it might error out or default back to a more expensive new version. honestly might be worth just sitting on the phone with them for five mins while they click the button just to make sure the total at checkout matches your 1200 budget. it works well for the most part though, definitely beats trying to walk them through the absolute nightmare that is the wishlist ui...

honestly amazon built-in sharing is a total mess for custom builds. i would suggest using Share-A-Cart instead. it is a browser extension that generates a single code for your entire cart while preserving the specific merchant IDs and used inventory SKUs you picked. be careful tho, used stock levels fluctuate fast, so make sure they click the link immediately to lock it in. this should basically fix those glitchy wishlist issues.
