Amazon Wishlist Makes Shipping Cheaper - January 2020

​I used to buy my friends Australian chocolate and post it to them at Christmas. But this year the postage was going to be between $10 and $20 - which is at least 10 times the price of the single chocolate bar.

Instead I asked them for their Amazon wishlists. By doing this, and adding their addresses to my account, I can buy them an item that they really want and have it shipped from Amazon which is much cheaper. They also include a gift wrapping option.

Extra tip: Ask them to send you a wishlist you can edit. This means, if you buy an item on their list and someone else goes to buy the same item, it will let that person know the item has been bought so you are not sending them two of the same item and the present can remain a secret!
