Moving to a new home is an exciting time, but it comes with a long checklist of tasks. One of the most important items on that list is updating your shipping address for online shopping. If you’re wondering how to make sure your Amazon packages don’t end up at your old doorstep, you’re in the right place.
Keeping your address current in your Amazon account is the simplest way to ensure a smooth delivery experience. It only takes a few moments to update, and it saves you the hassle of dealing with lost packages or forwarding mail later on. Let’s walk through the simple steps together.
Updating Your Default Address on the Amazon Website
This is the most common method and sets your primary shipping location. Start by logging into your Amazon account on a computer. Hover over ‘Accounts & Lists’ in the top right corner and click on ‘Your Account’. From there, look for the ‘Login & security’ section and click on it. You might need to enter your password again for security. Once you’re in, find the ‘Your Addresses’ section. Here, you can view all saved addresses. To set a new default, click ‘Add Address’ to enter your new details, or select an existing one and click ‘Set as Default’. Your future orders will now automatically ship to this location.
Managing Addresses Through the Amazon Mobile App
If you’re on the go, the Amazon app makes it just as easy. Open the app and tap the profile icon or the three-line menu, usually at the bottom of the screen. Select ‘Your Account’ and then navigate to ‘Your Addresses’. You’ll see a list of your current addresses. Tap ‘Add a new address’ to input your new home details. Once saved, you can tap on it and select ‘Set as Default’ to make it your primary shipping destination.
A Quick Tip for Your Next Order
Even after you’ve set a default address, it’s always a good habit to double-check the shipping address at checkout. Before you click ‘Place your order’, take a quick glance at the ‘Ship to’ section on the final order confirmation page. This ensures there are no surprises and gives you one last chance to select a different address if you’re sending a gift, for example.
By taking a few minutes to update your information, you can relax and look forward to your next Amazon delivery arriving right at your new door. Happy moving!
