How to search for products sold and shipped by Amazon

by

Here is how to search for products sold and shipped by Amazon. This becomes important because certain promotions (e.g. Amex 40% off up to $60) require the items to be sold and shipped by Amazon in order to get the discount.

Summary: To find Amazon products eligible for specific discounts, replace the “&” in the search result URL with “&rh=p_6%3AATVPDKIKX0DER” after searching for the desired product.

Detailed Steps:

1. Search for the product e.g. “jumpstart battery pack”

2. Step 2: Look for the “&” in the URL of the search result:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=jumpstart+battery+pack&ref=nb_sb_noss

3. Replace the “&” with this: &rh=p_6%3AATVPDKIKX0DER and click Enter:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=jumpstart+battery+pack&rh=p_6%3AATVPDKIKX0DER

Download from Google Drive using wget in Linux

by

By default, Google Drive does not allow plain wget commands (e.g. wget google-drive-link) in Linux. The workaround is to use the following syntax:

For example, to download the example.zip file from the Google Drive link below:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vzHBVXvpF0dFKaDamJ6THg-0Gc-cSDoR

You can use the following wget command in Linux. Note that you have to enter the google drive file id twice and also enter the file name.
wget --load-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=$(wget --quiet --save-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1vzHBVXvpF0dFKaDamJ6THg-0Gc-cSDoR' -O- | sed -rn 's/.*confirm=([0-9A-Za-z_]+).*/\1\n/p')&id=1vzHBVXvpF0dFKaDamJ6THg-0Gc-cSDoR" -O example.zip && rm -rf /tmp/cookies.txt
