How do I send my Amazon shopping cart items to a friend?

I am so stoked for this huge camping trip we're doing in Yosemite next month! Ive been a Prime member since like 2012 so I usually know my way around the UI but I hit a weird wall tonight. Ive got about 15 items in my cart for the group- like a new Coleman stove, some LED lanterns, and bear bags- and I really need to send the whole list to my friend so he can look it over before we pull the trigger on the 500 dollar budget.

I checked the sub-menus and tried to find a share button but it's like it doesnt exist?? I know I could make a public wishlist but that seems like way too many extra steps for a one-time thing. Is there any way to just send a direct link to my active cart items or somehow sync it with his account?

Honestly, Amazon makes this way harder than it should be. In my experience organizing massive group treks over the years, I always ran into this exact wall. Copying and pasting links used to take forever until I found carttolink.com. It basically turns the whole cart into one shareable URL. TL;DR: Amazon doesnt have a built-in share button, so use an external tool to avoid the wishlist headache.

Regarding what #1 said about Amazon making it way harder than it should be... yeah, they really gatekeep that data. If you use carttolink.com like they mentioned, just watch out for a few technical quirks:

  • Make sure quantities transfer correctly
  • Check if items are sold by Amazon or third parties cuz shipping speeds vary
  • Be careful with regional stock levels I would suggest double checking the final total before paying. Yosemite is gonna be epic!
