Amazon wish list vent

Noticed today that Amazon in their wisdom (maybe it's a website fault) have removed the option to sort wish list items by price and price reduction.

Hope it's only a glitch and will back to normal soon.

If not, it will be a pain, it's a useful tool to have when I have 90+ books saved to it and am just waiting for them to be reduced or be on sale.

    Use CamelCamelCamel. Your Wish List will be stored there and you'll receive an email when the price drops.

    Thanks for that advice.

    It looks as tho that will do the trick, I am just wary about entering my Amazon account details thru a 3rd party website in order to link it and utilise the function.

    I don't understand why Amazon themselves would remove the sort functions in the first place. Over the years I have probably spent more money on reduce/sale items than ant other. Guess I will just be spending less money with them in the future.

    That's probably why they've removed the feature.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    You mean they think people will just buy the things at the higher price? Not a chance - they'll just lose sales.

    Well, annoyingly I’ve found tonight that anything I click on to add to my wish list (Christmas ideas for the better half) just gets added to my shopping basket instead.

    I just tested that on my account. Doesn't happen. Are you sure you're clicking on "Add to Wishlist" ?

    Not sure if it's a website glitch but I found the same thing this evening.

  • I frequently sort my wishlist by price, to find small items to make up the £20 needed for a free delivery. This loss of functionality is such a pain in the neck, that I won't place orders with Amazon any more.

    Amazon are always fiddling with their interface. Don't be surprized if it changes back.
