Do you want to change your Amazon shipping address? Learn various methods and available options to do this.

This article contained the option to change the shipping address after placing an order. Amazon has updated its system to remove this option so we deleted that section.

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:

  1. Open Amazon.com. Then login with your Amazon account.
I performed the demo in this Itechguide with an Amazon.co.uk account. Some of the screenshots may look slightly different for Amazon.com or Amazon account in other countries.
  1. On the top right of your Amazon account, hover over Account & Lists. Then click Your Account. Your Amazon account page will open.
  2. On your Amazon account page, scroll down to the Ordering and shopping preferences section. Then, click Your Addresses.
  3. 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.
  4. To change any address to your default shipping address, click the Set as default link beneath the address.
  5. Alternatively, if you want to add a new address, click Add Address.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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:

  1. Enter the items you want to order into your basket. Then on the top right of the page, click Basket.

  1. 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).
  1. 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.

Conclusion

You can change your shipping address with one of the options explained in this guide, depending on your situation. It is important to mention that the best time to change your shipping address is before or while placing an order.

After you place an order, Amazon may limit your ability to change the shipping address, especially of they already started processing the order for shipping.

  1. 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.
