I have been using Amazon for literally over a decade, Prime member since like 2012, so I usually know my way around the UI pretty well but I am actually stumped right now and it is driving me crazy. I am helping my brother set up his first apartment in Seattle and we have a strict $800 budget for all the kitchen stuff and some basic tools. I spent three hours today picking out the perfect ergonomic chair, a specific monitor arm that fits his weird desk depth, and some cable management stuff.
My logic was that I could just click a share button like you do on a Wish List or a registry, but the cart page seems totally locked to my session. I even tried looking for some kind of collaborative cart feature because I swear I saw that mentioned in a tech blog last year, but maybe that was only for Business accounts? I am just on a personal Prime account. I tried the obvious thing of just copying the URL directly from the address bar—total rookie move, I know—and obviously when I texted it to him it just showed him his own empty cart because of cookies and session data.
The issue is I need to get this order in within the next hour to hit the shipping cut-off for Friday delivery. If I have to go through and manually add every single one of these 22 items to a separate List and then share that, it is gonna take forever and I might miss the window. Plus, the Lists feature is kind of buggy with specific
- Used
- Like New - options I picked out to keep us under that $800 limit. It usually just reverts to the new item price in the list view.
Is there a hidden
- Email this cart - button or maybe a Chrome extension that actually works for this? I really dont want to have to give him my login info just so he can see what I picked. There has to be a way to just generate a link to the current active cart, right?

Unfortunately, Amazon is still stuck in the stone ages with this. I had issues trying a similar thing for my moms kitchen remodel and it was honestly a nightmare.
- Avoid those sketchy Chrome extensions; they usually just scrape your data and fail anyway.
- You really just have to use a Wish List, even though it ruins the used pricing you found. Its super frustrating.

Building on the earlier suggestion, I actually have to disagree about the extensions being a total waste. While some are definitely sketchy, tools like Share-A-Cart are basically the standard for this. It works by generating a unique code for the ASINs so the other person can import the whole list at once. It saves a ton of time when you are chasing that shipping deadline. If you want to stay away from third-party tools, try using the Move all to list button at the bottom of the cart. Even with the Used
- Like New pricing issues, if the recipient adds to cart directly from a public list, the warehouse deal price usually carries over. It is a decent workaround for staying under that 800 budget without giving out your login info. Just double check the seller hasnt changed before he hits buy.
