For those that do have an Alexa, how does this work? Do you have to haggle with Alexa, and then it picks from the different sellers that meets your haggling? It seems like a much longer conversation is needed than "Alexa, add Tide Pods to my list" as Amazon propaganda wants you to believe.


If you say "add Tide Pods" then it adds the most popular listing of Tide Pods, shipped and sold by Amazon to your cart. Which is how 98% of people buy stuff on Amazon already.

You may have to specify a quantity but if you're adding detergent, paper towels or whatever else popular, name brand item it's pretty straight forward.
