What it does

The task

Price this order at Amazon Business, supplier and one more office or wholesale supplier: items. For each item, find the unit price at the quantity that I need, the bulk discount tiers, the shipping and the delivery date. Put the comparison in a new Google Sheet, with a total for each supplier. Add the items to the cart at the supplier with the lowest total that delivers by date. Ask me before you place the order.

  • It works in Amazon, any online store and Google Sheets, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • It runs once, when you start it.
  • It stops for your approval before it sends, posts, pays, books or changes a record.
