I’ve been doing this for a while with the Echo. It doesn’t work on every item though.
are you trying on items that are not available right away? did you have a problem if the item is available on the spot?

Alexa won’t find some items but overall it’s a pretty good trick.

IME as long as the item is available right now there is a way to order it through alexa, although sometimes it may be difficult to say it in a way that alexa will catch on(different wording)...

Maybe it showed available but it would have said unavailable at checkout then. But 2-3 times I tried every single way and it would tell me all the results but the add-on.

sometimes it says that the item will be available in a few days/weeks and still let you order it now, in which case it will not come up through alexa...

I’m positive these were in stock items. I have hundreds of orders over the past year but I’ll take a quick look and let you know if I find them.

ETA: obviously there were all deals so either they are back up at non add-on prices or oos.

On the bottom right tap the Alexa and order thru there
This is a great "Hack". I posted it in the comments here and searched DDF to see if it was already mentioned and found it hidden in this merged thread.
Im guessing it was merged to keep it hidden?
Either way, its a great "hack" to use Alexa on an android or iphone to bypass the $25 minimum.

+1 I have always had success meanwhile with adding it to my cart then having asking alexa to order and it asks if I want to order that item from my cart.

@SearchGuy I tried using this trick on my past two orders and had no luck tried every which way, I managed to get a hold of the item but all Alexa offered me was to place in my cart and Check out on the Amazon app.
    I have used this method for tens of items, this is already the 2nd item in a row which I have had no luck when placing an order for orders which are add-ons.

   If someone who has used this method as well doesn't mind confirming that it doesn't work or confirming that it does work it would be greatly appreciated thank you.

@aygart Seems dead this trick when going through alexa (music app), mind trying on your side?

I only used this trick when I had Pantry credits I assume i will get refunded for my shipping is that correct?
   Meaning when I had Pantry ship credits I never got them back after using them so curios to know when I'm going to pay out of my pocket will I get back the money?
