Trying to organize all this gear for a camping trip in the Catskills next weekend and I am honestly so fed up with Amazon right now. My logic was that I could just fill a cart with the shared supplies like the stove and lanterns and just send the link to my brother so he can pay for his half but there is literally no button for this.
I tried copying the browser link but obviously that doesnt work since its tied to my login. It is so annoying. I dont want to make a whole public registry or list just for some basic camping stuff... is there a workaround or maybe an extension that actually works for this? its taking forever to manually screenshot everything...
Building on the earlier suggestion, I've used these cart transfer tools for years and they are seriously a lifesaver for group trips!! Amazing way to stay organized. Quick question tho—are you and your brother both on Prime accounts or just one of you? It actually makes a huge difference because if one of you doesnt have it, the price or shipping speeds might flip out when he tries to check out on his end. I absolutely love using a cart tool because it basically grabs the unique product IDs and tosses them into a fresh session for the other person. Most people dont realize that Amazons cart is super finicky with browser cookies and session data, which is why your manual link failed. These tools create a temporary manifest that bypasses all that login junk. Its fantastic for making sure no one forgets the stove fuel or the specific lantern batteries you picked out! Way more reliable than screenshots which are basically useless if he wants to buy the exact same model.
> I dont want to make a whole public registry or list just for some basic camping stuff... Registries are a mess for quick trips. I usually suggest Shopping Cart Share for this stuff. It basically clones the cart manifest into a temporary link so you arent fighting the login cookies. Its free, but I gotta ask... is your brother using the Amazon app or a browser? Some of these extensions wont bridge over to the native app very smoothly, which might save you some troubleshooting later.
> I dont want to make a whole public registry or list just for some basic camping stuff... I usually use Share-A-Cart for gear. Do you need him to be able to add his own items too, or just pay for yours?
Man I wish I found this thread sooner. Would have saved me so much hassle.
It's true, but I had a nightmare last winter when my gear list vanished...
