Im seriously losing my mind trying to figure this out. My roommate and I are trying to split the cost for a new coffee maker we need by Friday here in Chicago, but Amazon is making it impossible to just send them my cart. Why is this so hard? How do I actually share it?

Id just be careful with random third party extensions or tools. Security matters when logging into shopping sites. Here is what I usually do for splitting orders safely:
