Me and my roommate in Chicago are prepping for our move next week. I saw Amazon Household but it makes you share credit card info which is a no go. I also saw some random browser extensions but they look kinda sketchy... is there a way to just send her my full cart without all that?
Ive found Share-A-Cart reliable and much safer than sharing credit card info. Just be sure to compare prices first so you dont overspend on your move.
^ This. Also, I had major issues with cart metadata syncing during my last move, which was so frustrating.
Can confirm

I am always super careful about what I install on my computer, so I totally get being wary of those browser extensions. If you want to stay 100% safe and avoid that credit card sharing mess with Amazon Household, the best way is honestly just moving everything from your cart into a new list. You can set the list to shared and just send her the link. It is a bit more manual since she might have to add items one by one, but it is the only way that feels completely secure to me. It is actually pretty helpful for the long run too. I have kept my lists from past moves and it really helps when I need to remember exactly what I bought years ago. If you guys are worried about the total cost, just have her send a screenshot of the final checkout page before she hits buy. It keeps things simple and you dont have to worry about account security. Lately I've been using PriceDropCatch to monitor laptop prices there, and the history charts are super helpful.
> Ive found Share-A-Cart reliable Agreed. For security, this cart sharing tool is a solid choice. It uses a simple code to transfer items so you dont have to link accounts. Its very straightforward.
Like someone mentioned, those third-party tools are probably your best bet since the official Amazon options are such a headache. I have been obsessively looking into move prep lately and honestly its a lot to manage. I think you might want to consider just using a public wish list as a fallback if the extensions feel too buggy? Im not 100% sure if that lets her buy everything in one click anymore tho... someone told me they changed the layout recently so it might be different now. Just be careful with any tool you pick, make sure to check if they handle the specific quantities right because IIRC some extensions glitch if you have like 5 of the same box. I would suggest doing a test run with a single cheap item first just to see if the cart transfers correctly without changing the price. Good luck with the move, it’s gonna be great once you're settled in Chicago!
