An example of
Amazon.com
failure when
using Amazon as a wedding registry
.
The actual cause of the
error message
appears to be when a registrant indicates that his or her shipping address should not be provided to a third-party. Unfortunately,
many of the items on Amazon.com are actually sold through third parties using Amazon as a storefront
. Prohibiting the sharing of this information with the
Amazon-associated vendors
breaks
Amazon.com's registry system
. There seems to be some pretty big either UI or informational disclosure issues with this feature on Amazon given how much it cripples the feature.
