Honestly I am about to lose my mind with Amazon. My partner and I are trying to finish up our home office renovation here in Portland before my sister comes to visit next Friday and we have like 20 different items in my cart—cables, a specific monitor stand, some lighting stuff—and I just want her to look at it and click buy on her end because she has the credit card for our joint expenses. But for the life of me I cant find a simple share button for the actual basket.
I spent like an hour looking into this and I saw people talking about Amazon Household but that seems way too complicated for this? Like it wants us to link our whole accounts and share payment methods and I dont want to deal with all that just to show her a list of stuff for one room. Then I saw some third party browser extensions like Share-A-Cart or whatever but honestly I dont really trust putting some random plugin on my browser when Im dealing with my bank info and everything. Is it really this hard in 2024?
I tried making a Wish List instead like some people suggested on a different thread but then half the items had weird shipping dates once she opened it or she couldnt see the specific quantities I picked out and it just became a mess. We are looking at spending about 600 dollars on this gear and I really dont want to have to manually copy-paste every single link into a WhatsApp message because thats just ridiculous and knowing us we will miss something or buy the wrong version of the dock. Is there some hidden feature Im missing where I can just generate a link to my actual live shopping basket? Or is there a way to do it through the app that isnt buried under ten menus? I just want her to be able to see exactly what I have ready to go so we can get this stuff ordered... its driving me crazy.
Amazon really makes this harder than it needs to be. My partner and I went through a similar ordeal when setting up a home theater and learned the hard way that lists often glitch on pricing. You might want to consider using Cart To Link since it creates a direct link without the mess. Just be careful to verify the zip code on her end to ensure shipping stays accurate. It saved me some stress.
