How to change your shipping address on Amazon
After you’ve added some items to your cart and are ready to checkout, Amazon will ask you to confirm your order’s details before confirming your purchase. They include the shipping address, payment methods, and shipping speeds. Be sure to verify everything before clicking the big yellow button to avoid mistakes in pacing the order.
If the address isn’t correct, click Change beside the information to select a different address or add a new one. You can also choose to See nearby pickup locations to collect your package from a local delivery site. You will see these same options when ordering through the Amazon mobile app.
If you place an order to the wrong address, you will have to cancel the order before it ships and place a new order for the same items at the correct address. If your package has already hit the road, unfortunately, you cannot change its destination address.
If the package hasn’t shipped yet, cancel the order and place a new one for the right address.
