I don't think so, never heard of it. However, if you are willing to work out an arrangement with her, if you have an account, you can place the order and have it shipped to her.

I don't know either. Can you order for Mom and have it shipped directly to her? I do that a lot.

Just order for her and have it shipped to her. I order for my legally blind 95 year old mom (on my account) often.

No you can't. But you could set up an account in her name and have the items sent directly to her.

Edited: Boy I type slowly on this tablet with my one finger. There were no responses when I started lol

@goldensrbest You gave us the opportunity to have a thread where everyone was in agreement. Rare moment!

My daughter sometimes orders for me on her account, has it shipped right to me, no problem. She has Prime, I dont.

@goldensrbest I asked Google:

No. Amazon orders can't be placed by phone. Amazon can help walk you through placing an order, if you can do the work, but will never take the order through their phone conversations

@goldensrbest

I have talked with Customer Service Reps there a few times. A couple times it was to ask about returns or refunds. When I asked them if they could pre-order a defective item, they told me no.

They would refund my card, or put in the amount in my account via Amazon Gift Cards. Told me to wait a couple hours or more, then I could go pre-order and use the gift card.

Just my experiences, not 100% sure it's the only way to order. You can call their CS and ask.

@PickyPicky3 I have to call my brother to see if it's snowing in South Florida or if they are expecting snow.

I haven't heard of being able to call and order on Amazon. However they do have direct shipping so you can order for your Mom and have what she wants or need shipped to her.

She probably hasn't got one sice you say she had no computer or tablet, but you can place orders through Alexa.

No but you can order for her. My sister was legally blind, I set up an Amazon account for her and I ordered for her.
