a Amazon Prime question - Blu-ray Forum

burner xxx · 05-04-2015, 01:06 PM

Is it against the rules to place an order for a friend?

If it is please ignore this

If it isn't..does anyone want a friend for a few dollars?

OI8T12 · 05-04-2015, 01:19 PM

No, I don't think so. You're allowed to buy gifts for your family and friends. There shouldn't be a problem.

No. Unless you're making massive orders and sending them to many different shipping addresses, there shouldn't be a problem

DamageINC · 05-06-2015, 02:07 AM

No.

I log into a friends account now and then and do her orders for her. I've used her payment methods on my account and had it sent to me, to her, whatever. Never had a problem doing any of it.

As long as Amazon is getting business, i don't think they're too fussy.

I don't get it. Are you offering to buy things off people's wishlists if they give you the payment + a few extra bucks?

You are allowed to buy gifts as often as you want. I would be hesitant to be a 3rd party in between strangers and Amazon though. Seems not worth the hassle.

The_Cre8r · 05-23-2015, 10:47 PM

I never even thought it would be a concern.

I've ordered things for family members simply because they didn't have an account. (Yes, there are people without Amazon accounts!)

No one will know and no one will care.

IndyMLVC · 06-28-2015, 02:18 AM

You can share your Prime account with 4 other people, I believe. My direct family all shares my account so we all get prime.

Santa Barbara · 06-28-2015, 02:20 AM

I've used it to send gifts during those reddit gift exchanges, so I really don't think they care much.

Carlanga · 07-01-2015, 09:45 PM

actually I think in the rules they say you can, as long as you don't use it continuously to send stuff to other people.

mderenardi · 12-08-2015, 08:20 PM

The order would have to be a gift to someone else.

..does anyone want a friend for a few dollars?

Is Amazon having on sale on those too?

BlackHawk1 · 12-27-2015, 02:40 AM

You should be able to send as many gifts as you want.
