Just saw this thread and congrats on the move to Chicago! Moving is such a massive pain, so I totally get wanting to make the shopping part easier. Since you are on mobile and hate extensions, your options are kinda limited because of how Amazon handles sessions. Basically, your cart is stored in your specific browser cookies or app data, so it doesnt live in the cloud in a way that lets you just send a link to someone else easily. If the list suggestion from the earlier post feels like too many clicks, you might want to look into specific sites that let you share amazon cart by converting those items into a shareable link. It is a decent middle ground when you dont want to deal with the Household settings or give away your password. The technical side of it is that these tools usually scrape the public data of the items you select so the other person can just add all on their end. It bypasses the need for any browser plugins which sounds like exactly what you are after. Another thing to consider is just making a Wedding Registry or a Custom Gift List even though youre just moving. It sounds weird, but Amazon gives those lists a much better interface for bulk adding and sharing than the standard private wishlists. Plus, the other person can see what has been bought already so you dont get duplicates. Just a thought if you want something that feels more organized for a big move. Let me know if you need help finding those settings in the app.

Yeah, totally agree that extensions are sketchy and a privacy nightmare. Ive been super satisfied just using the list feature natively since it works well for everything.

Hit the invite button

Set it to edit access It takes two seconds on the app and they can just move everything to their own cart from there.
