Can I Remove Delivery Address After I’ve Placed An Order?
The purpose of removing the address and adding a new one is to update it. If you’ve already placed an order and you want to add a new one, you can do so if the order hasn’t shipped.
For others that have shipped, you’d need to cancel the order and make the purchase again.
Leaving the address unchanged after you’ve moved to a new apartment could result in your shipment being delivered to the wrong person.
What Happens When You Remove An Address on Amazon?
If you recently placed an order and removed your address afterwards, you have the chance of adding a new address before the order ships.
If you remove the address after the order has left the warehouse, the change will be ineffective unless you cancel the order that’s already in transit.
Can I Re-Add The Same Address I Removed?
You can always add the same address after you’ve removed it. If the removal was a mistake, Amazon gives this chance of adding the same address again.
In addition, you can have multiple addresses on your Amazon account. When placing an order, you will need to select from the addresses where you want the shipment delivered.
What Should I Do After Removing An Address From Amazon?
Usually, removing an address on Amazon will not affect pending orders. However, it can affect the fulfilment of future orders.
When you click the Remove button, you will see a prompt asking if you’re sure you want to remove the address.
You need to update your wishlists, subscribe and save settings, and periodical subscriptions with your new address.
