Okay so I'm moving to Berlin in like three weeks and my roommate and I are trying to pick out a bunch of kitchen stuff and some basic furniture on Amazon.de so it's all there when I arrive. My logic was just to build a cart and send it over but I found out Amazon doesn't really have a native share button which is honestly so annoying for a site this big.
I spent some time looking into extensions and I saw Share-A-Cart mentioned a lot on some subreddits but then I read a few reviews saying it can be super buggy with the German site specifically compared to how it works on the US store. Then there's another one called CartShare but it looks like it hasn't been updated in forever and I'm a bit worried about the security aspect if I'm logged into my main account.
I'm still in the UK right now so my browser keeps trying to redirect me to .co.uk and I don't want to mess up the list by having items from the wrong region or getting the prices all mixed up in pounds. I need something reliable because we're looking at spending about 600 Euros and I really don't want to have to re-add forty items if the link expires or the extension breaks half way through the process. Does anyone know which one actually handles the .de domain properly without glitching out?
In my experience, Share-A-Cart is definitely the most reliable option for Amazon.de right now. Over the years I have used it across different regions without any major issues. Those buggy reviews usually happen when people forget to log into the specific domain first. It handles large carts well and wont lose your items like some of the older, outdated extensions that havent been patched in ages.
I remember moving to Munich and losing my entire cart because the region flipped mid-save... it was brutal. Be careful with extensions that havent been updated since 2022. You might want to consider Cart to Link instead tho, it handles the German domain without those weird session errors. Quick tip: always double check your delivery address is set to Berlin before you generate the link or the stock levels might be wrong.
Re: "I remember moving to Munich and losing my..." - honestly thats a nightmare scenario when youre dropping 600 Euros. I would suggest being super careful about the UK site redirecting you mid-process.
