Im trying to organize this big retirement gift for my boss and it is literally driving me crazy because I have like 15 different items in my cart right now and I need the other organizer to look at them before I actually hit buy. Im in Toronto and the party is this Saturday so I am really on a tight deadline here and I am so stressed I will mess it up. We have a total budget of about $400 and I dont want to accidentally buy the wrong version of the coffee maker or those specific filters she likes. I looked online and saw people mentioning Amazon Household but that is for like, families who live together and share Prime right? This is just for a coworker so I definitely dont want to link our whole accounts together or share payment info. Then I saw some browser extensions mentioned like Share-A-Cart but I am always kinda scared to install random plugins and I am not even sure if they actually work on the Canadian site since everything usually works better on the US one. Is there a simple way to just send a link to the whole cart contents? Or do I have to make a wish list? I feel like wish lists are different because they dont always show the exact quantities or the specific sellers I picked out. How do I actually show someone my live cart on Amazon.ca without giving them my password?

Adding my two cents here since I do this for office stuff constantly. Are you guys both using desktop or is she checking from her phone? I have been super satisfied using a Wish List for this. If you move items to a new list, it saves the specific seller and quantity perfectly. It works well for coordination. Random tip but Cart to Link is great if you want to send someone your exact Amazon cart without copy-pasting every item.

Just caught this thread and honestly, I've spent way too many hours over the years trying to coordinate group buys like this. Like someone mentioned, Harpreet is spot on about the Wish List being the safe route, but it can be a total slog when you're on a deadline like yours. In my experience, if you want high performance and zero mistakes on quantities or sellers, using a direct cart sharing tool is really the only way to go. I used to be super sketched out by extensions too, but most of the top-rated ones for Chrome or Firefox are safe and actually work fine on the Canadian site. Basically, they just grab the item IDs and generate a single link that rebuilds the cart on the other persons end. It is way faster than manually adding 15 things to a list and hoping the other person sees the quantity notes. Since you're in a rush for Saturday, I'd just grab a tool like Cart to Link or one of the extensions, send the link, and have them confirm in two minutes. Saves so much stress compared to the back-and-forth of did you see the specific coffee filters? or wait is that the right pack size? lol. Trust me, when you have 15 items, the manual way is just asking for a mistake.

In my experience over the years, I've found that these features change way too fast for old advice and it can get expensive if you order the wrong thing.

  • honestly just search YouTube for sharing amazon carts... saw a great video on it once.
  • check Reddit for the latest workarounds.
  • i usually just find a handy tool online that manages the security for me.
