I'm freaking out a bit because I have about $320 worth of kitchen stuff and bedding for my new place in Chicago in my cart right now and I need it delivered by next Thursday at the latest. My dad is paying for it as a graduation gift but he absolutely refuses to give me his credit card info or let me log into his Prime account because he's obsessed with cyber security or whatever. I was looking at two ways to do this but I'm torn. Should I just make a public Wish List and send him the link, or is there a way to literally just send him my active cart? I'm worried if I use a Wish List he'll buy the wrong sizes or forget the vacuum filters I need... is there a better way to do this without him having to manually add 15 items?
Wait, does your dad have you on his Amazon Household account yet? If hes weird about logins, thats usually the easiest way... I used a browser extension called Share-A-Cart when my roommates and I moved last year. It just generates a code he can plug in to grab everything instantly. TL;DR: Use a cart-sharing extension to avoid the manual list mess.
Actually, you cant share a live session cart because of how Amazon handles encrypted session tokens. I ran into a similar issue coordinating a 12-item hardware list for my current setup and it caused massive errors. You might want to consider:
> Should I just make a public Wish List and send him the link, or is there a way to literally just send him my active cart? Building on the earlier suggestion, I've gotta say... after years of moving between apartments in the city, I've learned that Household accounts are a nightmare with parents who think the cloud is a scam. Honestly, my dad was the same way. Every time I tried the official route, something got messed up or he'd complain about seeing my search history. In my experience, if you want it done right for a move like this, I actually disagree that the Wish List or Household route is the way to go. Its too much friction for someone obsessed with security. Over the years, I've tried many different methods for this. I used to send 20 links via email, but that was a disaster. I'd honestly just suggest using a dedicated cart sharing tool. Just get any standard cart exporter and it'll save you the headache of him buying the wrong size sheets or something. Chicago winters are too cold for the wrong bedding, lol. Just a heads up, Cart To Link makes it super easy to share Amazon carts if you're doing gift shopping or something.
