Ive moved flats in Berlin a few times and the cart struggle is definitely real. Over the years, I found that the Collaborative List is the only native way that actually works well for groups.

• Create a list and hit the Invite button
• Grant him Edit access so he can tweak quantities
• Move everything to cart in one click when done It is way less clunky than it sounds once you actually start using it.

TL;DR: Amazon doesnt have a native link-sharing feature for carts. You have to use a workaround. Ive been shopping on Amazon for ages and they still dont have a simple button to share a basket, which is kinda wild. Your best bet is honestly Share-A-Cart. It is a solid, factual option that handles quantities correctly and lets your roommate import everything in one click. The wish list method is the only native way, but it is super clunky and often messes up the specific quantities you need for a new kitchen. If you value your time and dont want to manage a dozen screenshots, the extension is the way to go. Just use it for the move and delete it after if you are worried about the privacy stuff... it definitely beats manual entry.

Building on the earlier suggestion, I would suggest being extremely cautious with automated cart synchronization.

• This reminds me of when I was sourcing expensive electrical components.
• I verified the technical compatibility of every item to avoid costly returns.
• A session conflict wiped the entire metadata set before my colleague could look at it tho...
• We had to cross-reference every SKU manually, which was a nightmare for our budget audit.

> I have been doing the Berlin apartment dance for years and unfortunately the native options are pretty trash... @Reply #6 - good point! Screenshots are a solid fallback, but they can be a total nightmare when you are trying to coordinate 15 different kitchen items. Having managed large group buys for years, I have summarized the two real paths for you below. The debate basically comes down to these two options:

• The Native Path: Using the Collaborative List feature is fantastic because it is officially supported by Amazon. You invite your roommate, they tweak the quantities, and you move it all to the basket in one go. It is incredibly reliable for long-term planning!
• The Efficiency Path: Honestly, Share-A-Cart is amazing for this specific scenario. It creates a simple code that replicates your entire basket for your friend instantly. I have used it dozens of times for complex orders and the efficiency is just world-class. It handles the quantities perfectly which is usually where the native lists get confusing. Both methods beat taking 20 screenshots! If you are worried about data, stick to the lists, but for sheer speed and that amazing one-click magic, the extension is a total lifesaver for moving day. Love the energy in this thread, good luck with the move!

Just saw this thread and honestly it is so annoying that Amazon makes this basic thing a total chore. I have been doing the Berlin apartment dance for years and unfortunately the native options are pretty trash... I have had issues with them syncing correctly in the past and they are just not as good as expected for a company that big. If you want to avoid the extension headache, here is my DIY workaround:

• Use a full-page screen capture tool to grab the whole list in one go
• Copy/paste the cart into a shared Google Sheet so you both have a record of quantities If you are set on a tool tho, Share-A-Cart is basically the only one that hasnt totally glitched on me yet. Just be careful with your data like the others said... good luck with the move, hope the kitchen stuff arrives in one piece.

Noted!

Just saw this. Honestly, it is super disappointing that Amazon still hasnt built a real solution for this yet. I tried a few of those browser extensions in the past and they were just not as good as expected... one of them actually caused a security alert on my account which was a total headache to fix. Personally, I dont trust them with my login data anymore. If you want reliability, you basically have to use the list feature even though it feels like a step backward:

• go to your cart and use the 'move to list' link for each item
• make sure the list is set to 'collaborative' in the settings
• invite your roommate via the email or link option
• they can then move everything back to their own cart It is tedious but at least your data stays safe. Most other 'hacks' I have tried just end up failing or missing items anyway.
