I’m beginning to think this shit is happening on purpose.

That is going to end wishlist. OF and Instagram girls having their home address given out to the guys who actually buy things on there for them will not be good.

It should be illegal for Amazon to share your address with third parties

With this information we’re emptying our wish list. We’ve already reduced our Amazon purchases due to their shittyness.

Someone is def gonna get ended behind this. (I keep getting the feeling that the cruelty is getting closer to THE reason for these things….)

I got this notification this morning, I keep a public wishlist, and this change just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Less privacy for what?!
If I wanted to hand out my address, I wouldn’t use an Amazon wishlist. They’re going to drive anyone who is left off the platform.
The wording of it seems a little ambiguous. Are they saying that when Amazon sends your information to a third party seller for fulfillment, that the seller may relay that to the buyer at their discretion, or that the buyer will always get these tracking updates through Amazon directly?

It may be petty, but I intentionally don’t trust third parties on Amazon. If I receive anything from a third party through a list I have set up I’ll just return it and let Amazon figure it out.

Just send it to a friend’s house; one with large dogs that don’t like unknown people.

Is this to tackle scammers and catfishers? I feel like if someone sends you a wishlist and it shows some place it’ll let you know that theyre fake maybe?

This sounds like a good idea to me, since it fucks over influencers. They are a scourge.

Honest question: what’s the actual change here? I read the linked article, and I don’t see the problem. Wouldn’t the seller need an address to actually send the purchased item no matter what? Is the gifter the one being sent the address?

Welp, guess I’m just gonna delete all my wishlists on Amazon and go back to the classic “keep a Notepad doc on standby”

I stopped shopping on amazon a while ago but still used them for my wishlist since that is more convenient for other people. Now I guess I’ll stop doing that.
I already have Elfster and I added a link to my Amazon list on that but now I’m going to remove the Amazon list and add the items individually. Which means I’ll add the items directly from the manufacturer instead of amazon.

It’s been doxxing people. 3rd party drop shippers rule Amazon as it is.

Wait… so the solution is basically “get a PO box”? That feels like shifting the responsibility onto users.

> _Amazon announced a sweeping change to its Wishlist feature that will make users’ addresses available to third-party sellers, ***recommending they get a PO Box*** to protect their privacy._
This, combined with the new SCOTUS ruling this week making it so you can’t sue the USPS if they ***intentionally*** do not deliver mail or packages addressed to you, seems to go hand-in-hand.
I think it’s time we just cancel all of it.

Amazon is a shit company.

That’s kind of evil. Do they know how rabid and desperate the chuds who pump cash into Only Fans wish lists are? They would kill (literally) to know where their hunny bunny lives. Amazon is just looking to get sued I guess. How did their fat cat lawyers let this policy slip through?

Why services like [Throne](https://throne.com/landing) are going to do well with this change.
Just deleted all my lists and registries. Thanks.
