Open letter to Amazon.com: it’s 2007 - can we have multiple item selections, please?

« Science for everyone | blog.ariffic | links for 2007-06-13 »

Did you know: you cannot just submit an email to Amazon using the form on their site unless it’s associated with an item or an order? This is a stupid idea, especially for cases where, I dunno, the problem or suggestion in question is with the website!

Still, that’s not the main thrust of this.

To whom it may concern:

Can we please, please, please, please, please, please, please, PLEASE have the ability to add multiple items from the recommendations list to the Wish List or cart at once? Sometimes I want to add 9 or 10 items that are recommended to me to either the wishlist or cart and instead, I have to

1) add one item
2) navigate back to my recommendations page
3) hope it’s still on the recommendations page where I left it
4) repeat steps 1-3 about 10 times in a row

I’d rather do this:

1) click checkboxes beside items I’m interested in
2) click an ‘Add Checked Items to Cart’ or ‘Add Checked Items to Wishlist’ button

And boom, done in two steps.

PLEASE! Pass this along to whoever it needs to be passed along to in order to consider adding this! It’s an incredibly obvious feature, and in this day and age I’m honestly shocked that Amazon.com doesn’t already have it.

Thanks,
Phil
