Do you want to change your Amazon shipping address? Learn various methods and available options to do this.
Option 1: Change Shipping Address Before an Order
If you want to change your Amazon shipping address pre-order, change the default shipping address on your Amazon account.
You can do this using an existing address in your address list. Or you could add a new address to the list. Here are the steps:
- Open Amazon.com. Then login with your Amazon account.
- On the top right of your Amazon account, hover over Account & Lists. Then click Your Account. Your Amazon account page will open.
- On your Amazon account page, scroll down to the Ordering and shopping preferences section. Then, click Your Addresses.
- On Your Addresses page, your default shipping address will be listed first. Additionally, all other addresses in the list will have Set as default on the bottom right of the address.
- To change any address to your default shipping address, click the Set as default link beneath the address.
- Alternatively, if you want to add a new address, click Add Address.
- Then, on the Add a new address page enter your name, address details, and a delivery instruction (optional). When you finish, beneath the form click Add address.
- Additionally, if you want to make this new address your default shipping address, before Delivery Instructions (optional), check the Make this my default address checkbox.
- You will receive a confirmation that the new address has been saved.
Option 2: Change Shipping Address While Ordering
You can also change your shipping address while completing a new order.
Here are the steps:
- Enter the items you want to order into your basket. Then on the top right of the page, click Basket.
- Then, on your Shopping Basket page, click Proceed to Checkout button – this button should be on the right pane of the page. The next page is where you change shipping address on Amazon.
- The Choose a delivery address will list all addresses in your account. Your default shipping address will be highlighted. If you want Amazon to deliver to a new address, select a new address from the list. Then click Use this address button (on the top right pane of the page).
- To deliver to a new address, scroll down towards the bottom of the page and click Add a new address. Add your new address, select to ship to this address and complete your order.

Is there away to order and have two different delivery addresses. I am purchasing 2 items and need one to my address and send other to family member address, or need to order separately?
Thank you 😊
You should be able to ship an order to 2 different addresses. However, instead of doing that, why not place 2 separate orders.
Set a default address doesn’t exist. Bad advise
