TL;DR: Use the Wish List feature or just send screenshots. Amazon doesnt have a simple share button for carts. I had this same problem last year. Basically, the shopping cart is private to your account, so a link wont work for her. Here are the best workarounds:

• Wish Lists: Move items to a shared list and send the link. It is the official way but a bit slow.
• Screenshots: Just snap some photos of your screen and WhatsApp them. It is the easiest way to get a quick yes or no.
• Share-A-Cart: This is an extension that generates a code for her. It is fast but requires a download. Personally, I just use screenshots if I am in a rush. If she needs to check specific sizes or details herself, the Wish List is the most reliable option even if it is a bit clunky.

Hey, that sounds like a total headache lol. I've been there with the whole international shipping mess. Before I dive into more options, is your sister trying to open the link on her phone or a laptop? Sometimes the app messes everything up if it tries to switch regions automatically. Also, is she logged into an Amazon.de account or is it defaulting to her US one? That usually breaks things immediately since the sessions dont carry over between the .com and .de sites... Honestly, if you're in a huge rush to get this done tonight, just use a third-party tool. I usually tell people that Cart to Link is a lifesaver for this exact situation. It kinda just turns your whole cart into a single shareable link so she can see exactly what you've got without you having to manually move everything to a list. It saves a lot of time compared to the screenshot method and it actually works for people on different devices. Another technical thing to keep in mind is that even if you share a list, some items might show as unavailable to her if her primary address is set to the US. She might need to change her delivery zip code on the top left of the site to your Berlin one just to see the items correctly. It’s super annoying how Amazon handles regional sessions, but that’s basically the deal. Hope you get it sorted by tonight tho!

100% agree

Wait really?? Thats actually super helpful. I always thought it was the other way around.

Been using this for years, no complaints

Re: "Exactly what I was thinking" - honestly its such a nightmare. I have been using Amazon for over a decade and it still feels like they make the most basic stuff impossible on purpose. You really have to be careful with these regional sites too... I once spent hours filling a cart only for it to vanish because I accidentally toggled a setting. It is incredibly draining when you are on a deadline like this. I would suggest just heading over to YouTube for this one. I saw a really detailed breakdown of the current share cart workarounds that actually works for the German site a few weeks ago. Just search for something like how to share amazon cart 2024 and it should be one of the top results. I think I also saw a thread on Reddit in one of the Berlin expat groups but the video is way easier to follow. Better to watch that than waste another hour clicking around in circles. Honestly just search for it there because there are some browser extensions that claim to do it but you have to be careful which ones you trust.

> Hey, that sounds like a total headache lol.... Totally agree. Just be careful because switching regions messes with the pricing. I once ordered party supplies thinking it was a deal, then realized the currency conversion killed my budget. Now I use a handy tool to keep it straight. Make sure she sees the final Euro total specifically, or those hidden bank fees might cause an argument later when she pays you back.

Exactly what I was thinking

Re: "Re: "Exactly what I was thinking" - honestly..." - yeah, I have been through this exact nightmare more times than I care to count. In my experience, relying on the built-in Amazon features for cross-border shopping is a recipe for overspending. Last year, I spent an extra 40 Euros just because my friend in London misread a size on a screenshot and we had to re-order everything last minute. Basically, the thread has covered:

• Lists are slow and clunky for quick reviews.
• Regions like .com vs .de break session links instantly.
• Screenshots often miss the important technical specs or the final Euro pricing. If you want to stay on budget and not waste money on return shipping for stuff that isnt right, I highly suggest using Share-A-Cart. Over the years, this has been my go-to because:
• It generates a simple code that fills her cart exactly like yours with one click.
• It bypasses the regional logout bugs that happen when switching between countries.
• She will see the final Euro price so there are no currency conversion surprises later. Saving a few bucks on party supplies doesnt matter if you mess up the order and have to pay for express shipping twice. Its definitely the most efficient way to handle this.
