Amazon Question

I sometimes put things into my cart so I can order them later - maybe. I recently had several things in the cart, but I didn't want to buy all of them, so I clicked on "Save for Later." Just out of curiosity, how could I find those things I saved? I've never seen them pop up again. I also keep things on my Wish List, so I can go back and order things.

EDIT: Got it! As I was in the Checkout process, I saw a list of things I had put into that "Save for Later" group. Good to know.

I only use a wish list, everything is on one place, not spread out.
I can easily remove an item from the wish list or add it to the cart.

I might have six things on my wish list at B&H. (Printer ink or photo paper I usually buy, or things I may get in the future, etc.)
No lists at any other place. I don't buy a lot.
If I need something I search for it when I need it, then try to go to the appropriate store.

If it’s in the saved for later category, you’ll get notices as the price changes. That doesn’t happen when it’s in a list.

I learned a lesson on putting things in the basket for a later decision. I had a couple of odd things in my basket and needed something so I logged in and found the item. Rather than send it to the basket, I clicked on "buy now" and later found it also included everything in the basket. Glad all the items were inexpensive or it could have been a mess to clear up.

I have well over a hundred items at all times in my cart system...just not active in cart.
I get auto price updates...just simpler to do...

I use Amazon often - saves running to a store, mall,... Delivery is rapid, often the next day. Since I'm a Prime member, delivery is free. Returns are so easy.
I mistakenly ordered 3 40oz. bags of Expresso whole bean coffee last week. I thought they was 12 oz bags. I mix my own House Blend and Expresso in a "rough ratio" of 3 - 4 House Blend to 1 Expresso beans and grind them everyday. When the three bags of 40 OZ Expresso arrived, I immediately went to a "Chat" on Amazon. I explained my mistake to the CS person and asked how to return two of the 40 oz. bags. He checked and indicated they are not returnable but asked if I would like a refund. I said yes then said, "keep the beans". How could I refuse $109+ refund and the beans?

I’ve had similar experiences where Amazon told me to keep the product and refunded me. There have been so many times when we’re in a store and I’m interested in buying something I will just call up Amazon on my iPhone and the price is less and it comes the next day. I absolutely love Amazon.

Whoops. Mrs. McNierny will never forgive me! (7th/8th grade English teacher). I typed the wrong tense - "was" instead of "were". I'm embarrassed. My Mom would have slapped my butt too!

It's easy to order the wrong thing because an Amazon search shows you the wrong items, which is very annoying. I get to reading the details, and the item looks good, but then I see that it's not what I want.

I like returns that I can drop into a UPS box. I don't like having to drive into town and wait on line at UPS. I don't know why returns vary like that. On several occasions, they told me to keep the item. I wonder how they decide between returning and keeping. It would be nice if they would do that with a Z9.
