That is probably why less expensive Add-on items are getting through the cracks right now. If Amazon would actually think things all the way through, they could greatly improve Alexa all around and certainly in the area of purchasing. I would prefer to order several items at once by putting each into my cart before paying for all at a single time. I would prefer to be ask if I want to apply rewards dollars, or if I want to make a donation. I would prefer to be asked if I want 1-day, 2-day, or some other shipping time frame. But currently we are only asked to buy, and all the options are populated at Amazon's whim. So unless I can save by purchasing through Alexa, I refuse to do so and prefer the better control I get via a web interface.

I thought maybe there might be some setting in the app that could tell it that orders should go through the Smile program. Oh well.
It seems the only reason to do voice ordering is to get a special deal; otherwise I will stick to the old-fashioned way--I don't even use one-click!
