Then do one of the following:

  1. To add a new dress, select Add address. Enter the new address details. Add your delivery preferences and select Add address.

  2. To edit an address, select Edit below the address. Change the address details and select Update address.

  2. Click on View or edit order for the order that you want to change

  3. Then select Change your Shipping Address.

Once an order is shipped, you can no longer change the shipping address through Amazon. However, you still have a few options:

  • Contact the Carrier: If your order is being delivered by UPS, FedEx,etc., you might be able to reroute the package directly through them.

  • Return the Item: Once delivered, you can initiate a return and place a new order with the correct address.

FAQs

Can I change the shipping address on Amazon after the order is shipped?

No, Amazon does not allow address changes after shipping. Your best options are to contact the shipping carrier (like UPS or FedEx) to attempt a reroute, or if that’s not possible, wait for delivery and then initiate a return to place a new order with the correct address.

Will changing my address delay the order?

Yes, changing your shipping address before the order is processed may delay delivery by a day or two, depending on availability and location.

Can I use multiple shipping addresses in one order?

No, Amazon does not currently support splitting a single order across multiple shipping addresses. You’ll need to place separate orders for each delivery location.

Will changing my default address affect existing orders or my Wish List? 

No, updating your default shipping address in “Your Addresses” will only apply to future orders. It will not change the address for any orders already placed or for items saved in your Wish List. You would need to manually update those if necessary.
