So I am finally moving into this new flat in Berlin next week and my roommate and I are trying to get all the basic kitchen gear and some cleaning supplies from Amazon.de. We have a budget of about 300 Euros total for the initial setup and we want to order everything in one go so we dont pay shipping like five times or have deliveries arriving at different hours when we are trying to paint the walls. I have about 22 items in my cart right now-knives, a cheap toaster, some microfiber cloths, all that stuff-but I need him to look at the specific brands I picked because hes kinda picky about quality even though we are totally broke lol.
I was looking at two main ways to do this because Amazon for some reason doesnt have a simple send cart button which is honestly crazy to me. First I saw this Chrome extension called Share-a-Cart. My logic was that it looks super simple and fast but then I started thinking about security and stuff. Like do I really want a random extension seeing my Amazon data or my browsing habits? Then I thought okay maybe I just move everything to a Wish List and share that. But man that is such a chore to do one by one. I have to click every single item and move it and I am worried if I do that I might lose the specific quantities or the specific sellers I picked for the used items to save money.
I also considered just giving him my login for ten minutes so he can just edit the cart himself but that feels sketch and I have my credit card saved in the 1-click settings so probably a bad idea even though I trust him. We really need to get the order in by Tuesday night so it arrives before the move-in date on Saturday. Is there a better way to just send a link where he can see the exact cart and maybe add stuff himself? Or should I just bite the bullet and do the Wish List thing even if it takes forever to set up? Im leaning towards the extension but I dont know if it actually works on the .de site specifically since some of these tools are made for the US store and then they glitch out with the Euro prices or different SKUs...

I've been using that specific extension for my office supplies on the German site and I'm really satisfied with it. It works well and I haven't had any complaints about it messing up the prices or anything. I think it handles the .de region automatically now, but you might want to double check the settings just in case. Heres what I've noticed:
- It usually saves the exact quantities you picked which is a huge plus.
- You can send a link or a code which makes it way easier than the wish list route.
- IIRC it might struggle with the used items if they sell out before your friend opens the link. I heard someone mention that you can use the Share-a-Cart site to just generate a one-time cart ID. That might solve your privacy concerns if you dont want it running in the background. It definitely beats moving 22 items manually... that would take forever.

The technical gap in the Amazon platform regarding cart sharing is pretty annoying. I've tried a few workarounds and usually, the extension route is faster but the data privacy aspect is a valid concern since they're basically scraping your session data. It is basically a data silo and kinda frustrating.
- Stick to the Wish List if you want 100% accuracy with the .de pricing and stock levels. It handles the localized database better than third-party tools.
- For the quality concern, just go with Wüsthof for the kitchen tools. You really can't go wrong with that brand regardless of which specific set you pick.
- Dont share the login. The risk to your 1-click settings isnt worth the convenience. I use Cart to Link whenever I'm doing collaborative shopping — just generate a link and share it on WhatsApp or whatever.
