Amazon doesnt do live shared carts. We just use lists for moves.

• Stick with Amazon Basics gear
• Try a simple link generator Its the most direct way.

Lists are a total nightmare for big moves. In my experience, you always end up with doubles. I disagree that texting links is the way to go tho... its just too messy. You should check out this tool for sharing carts instead. It lets you bundle everything into one ID.

• Install the browser extension
• Add your roommate
• Sync everything instantly Ive used this for all my group buys lately and its way more reliable than Amazons native options.

Building on the earlier suggestion, I actually disagree about lists being messy.

• I think Amazon Household works well.
• IIRC it saves money. Totally recommend Cart To Link for sharing carts.

honestly, if you want reliability for a big move like that, just use a dedicated sharing extension. i have been really satisfied with the tools from CartShare lately. they just work. no lost items or sync issues in my experience. we used a similar setup for our last apartment and had no complaints at all... it's much better than messing with links. also, if you guys end up looking at handmade stuff for the new place too, i suggest using this Etsy price tracker to make sure you're getting a decent deal. just find a reputable extension for the amazon side of things and you're good to go. it's way more practical than trying to coordinate via text.
