META Amazon Wish List Workshop
Want someone to look over your Amazon Wish list to make sure people can access it, and it has your address attached? Go ahead and post it here, I'll check it out and help fix it if needed :) (I will check out any Amazon wish list, it doesn't have to just be a food one)
Also, if anyone wants help setting up an Amazon Wish list, post here and I will walk you through it. Amazon's stock is a bit more stable now so it is a good time to get yours set up if you may need help later. I can only check for attached addresses if you are in the US :)
Tip All of your wish lists need an addressed attached, not just the first one -- each list needs the address :)

Start there :)
Most here helping have prime memberships, so add items that are prime delivery so they will ship for free (not prime pantry, or fresh, or wholefoods as those have shipping fees)

You are so fabulous! I always see you doing great, kind things. And if I’m not mistaken, I think you may have actually sent me something back in April when I was struggling to get food stamps and feed my children. Regardless, you helped me make my very first wishlist and I couldn’t have done it without you. You Rock!

That is so kind of you to offer your time ( a precious commity that many people undervalue) to help others in need.
Then to buy people food and supplies too you have a heart of gold.
Bless you for being so compassionate.

Your address is attached and good to go on this one and the "New Bathroom -- Owls" lists -- all the others are missing the address (I couldn't check the short one with only one non-available product).
Would you like help attaching addresses to the others? I will include directions just in case :)
You have to add your address to the wish list itself. To add your address, you want to go to manage list (the 3 dots where it says more). That opens a window -- scroll down to where it says deliver to and add your address there. Make sure to also enable 3rd party. Save, then let me know and I will check it :)

Ok so I don’t really understand how to do this. I read the rules but am confused. I have a bunch of list. Do they just need to be on private. You know just stuff I want to keep track of. Then if I want to try to make a list for here say the food list pick prime item label it food. Make it public and attach my address? What else do I need to do?
1
u/seaboard2 [Amazon aficionado] Aug 04 '20
After that, you need to make it view only and allow third party -- that should do it :)
0
u/Teddtlove Aug 04 '20
How do you make it view only? Also aren’t there some rules about names or email address or something?
1
u/seaboard2 [Amazon aficionado] Aug 04 '20
My general check list:
Go to manage your account, make sure list is public, use the invite button (not the squiggly 'send list to others'), mark view only, allow third parties (and while you are there, make sure you added your address to the wish list itself).
Your name and email are hidden from helpers by Amazon, so I may see Joe Smith, Austin, TX but that is it.

Oh yes. Absolutely my stupid phone keeps switching to that account. I didn’t realize it was doing it. I never use that account so I don’t know why it was doing it. I deeply apologize. Does anyone know a reason it may do that?
Edit: I logged out of that account so hopefully I won’t have that problem again. Thank you so much.

Sorry I posted this on my wrong name that has none of my post history. I am only asking this because my family is very effected right now because of Covid and other issues. I have been applying for disability for 3 years. That is why I may have trouble with 100% understanding the rules without discussion if you need to check if I have the right about of comments or whatever let me know and I will post with the normal name I use.

You don't have the right format for your link. Try this:
Go to manage your account, make sure list is public, use the invite button (not the squiggly 'send list to others'), mark view only, allow third parties (and while you are there, make sure you added your address to the wish list itself). Let me know when that is done :)
1
u/kandikidd91 Aug 01 '20
Okay so I allowed third parties, made sure the address is on there and I changed the list to public.
I went to the invite button and it said view only. I believe I got it covered. Thank you so much for the help! I went over reading all the rules/information on this sub and was struggling with my list and how to get it posted! I appreciate the help!
1
u/seaboard2 [Amazon aficionado] Aug 01 '20
You have to swap out that old link -- Go back to manage, click invite, keep at view only, click where it says copy url, then paste that below this thread so we can make sure it works :)

🥳🥳 Yay! It's all because you helped me! Thank you again.
I have a question about this stuff if you don't mind. Do I add the list to my name on here? I just want to make sure I do this the right way so I can get started.
I can't wait to start scrolling lists and seeing what cool stuff people pick out!
2
u/seaboard2 [Amazon aficionado] Aug 01 '20
No, we don't do that here. I think you can do that on /r/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon and /r/Wishlist . People here tend to post their list if they need food/sundries and make a request because they are broke/need assistance :)
1
u/kandikidd91 Aug 01 '20
Oh okay! That helps a ton! I didn't realize there were so many Amazon list subs. Thanks for the help and clarification! 😀

u/seaboard2 [Amazon aficionado] Aug 01 '20
There are probably more but I only know of those two :)
If you ever make more lists, remember to add your address to each one individually!

I can't check your address, though. I don't have an amazon.in acct.

I guess an account with Amazon.com should work here.
1
u/seaboard2 [Amazon aficionado] Aug 02 '20
Yes, but then I have to sign into my acct and I lost the card set up there, so I have difficulty signing in. That is why I offer to check addresses for US addresses and not other countries :)

ty! Another question, sometimes when I add things to my cart from someone's wish list, I don't see their address to select shipping. Is this a problem on their end, or can it be on my end?
1
u/seaboard2 [Amazon aficionado] Aug 05 '20
It means they haven't added their address correctly to their list -- Many don't know just having the address on one's Amazon account isn't enough, it needs to be added to each individual list. It may also mean they haven't enabled third party share -- but that is less likely.
Just tell them to add their address/check third party okay :)

Thank you so much for your kindness in doing this.

I don't know why it is posting under a different name, maybe you need to log out and then back in? Can't help with that, sorry!

Your Doritos are a prime pantry item -- be forewarned that won't ship for free unless you spend $35 or more on a single shop with enough prime pantry items to go over $35.

u/vawnie2 Aug 09 '20
dang, i can't find that in the rules anywhere. is this post for finding people to gift you? i kinda thought it was just to check that your wishlist worked. i'm sorry i'm new here aaa
1
u/seaboard2 [Amazon aficionado] Aug 09 '20
It is just to get checked -- I just gave out the gift card info as a just-in-case thing.
I think the gift card not being allowed falls under no giftcard selling/exchanged and the no gaming material requests -- but I wouldn't swear to it. I just know the lists with gift cards get taken down until the cards are removed. You could use modmail and ask the mods where the rules is if you want :)

I am a helper here, and I can assure you helpers are not paying more than $5-8 dollars for packs of ramen. Go with the boring simple flavors that are cheap :) Modify them when you prepare them. Chicken and soy are usually two of the 3 least expensive.
Your address is added, yay!
