Amazon Wish List Our pantry is empty

We are out of wet pate food (needed so cats eat faster than racoons) and currently feed around 18 ferrals and 8 fosters. Just got another cat dropped off today. We could really use some help and will pay it forward when we can. Tia 💕

Never done this before - Amazon keeps popping up for my address…is that correct and it diverts to you?

When you’re doing wishlist, if you click the list of where to deliver, the wishlist recipient should show up second.

It does not for me - just the couple of addresses that I have shipped to previously - unless yall are family and not told me you do this! Lol.

Very odd! How do they expect you to send someone a gift? Make sure you’re clicking the gift link and staying in that session. I think if you use a different window or tab, it doesn’t work. It’s like a “temporary” address they add to your book from what I can tell.

I am clicking the link above, it takes me to Amazon - not my app but a web page - and it shows the name here, but just under that the address to ship to are all previous ones of mine. When I hit check out, again only my prior address pop up.

Ok make sure the “this is a gift” box is checked and that you did “add to cart” right from the gift registry page. Then when you go through checkout and the list of addresses comes up it should say “Feral Kitties Gift Registry Address” right below yours. It will not list the actual address. It’s just a name, the address itself is hidden.

Also make sure your cart is clear so it doesn’t get confused. The gift registry feature can be a little weird sometimes.

Unfortunately, I’ve clicked did all that and still only get my personal addresses to display.

Ugh. It may just not work. That is very unfortunate. Maybe DM the OP and ask for their address so that you can just add it manually.

Update - was able to send something. There was something lurking in my cart that I have already purchased a couple months ago, but looked like an advertisement to purchase more. Long story short, deleted that, closed my app and came back to this link and was able to get something to go through. Thanks for the help.

Awesome! It’s such a finicky system. So glad it worked out.

u/Ok_Bad_951 Aug 22 '24

Me too… like I said, my first time, it’s a great process in theory, but can be frustrating apparently. Thanks for help.

it was my first time too. it worked and look like this though:

Thanks. It appears the ‘item’ that was already purchased that was still sitting there was holding it up. But the odd thing is I have ordered multiple things from Amazon since I ordered those containers so not sure why it chose this order to try and buy them again. Anyway, it all worked out in the end and some food is on its way.
