How To Manage Your Amazon Address Book - MakeUseOf

There's no denying the convenience of Amazon. It has nearly every product you could ask for, available to ship to you in a matter of days. In fact, you don't have to send it to yourself—you can send something to any address you want.

Amazon has an address book where you can add and manage postal addresses. This will include yours, but perhaps also those of friends, family, or your workplace. Whatever the case, we're going to show you how to manage the Amazon address book on desktop and mobile.

How to Manage Your Amazon Address Book on Desktop

1. Sign in to Amazon and, in the top-right, click Account & Lists.
2. Click Your Addresses.
3. This displays all the addresses in your address book.

Your default address is marked accordingly, though you can selectSet as Default on another address to change this. It will also tell you whether you have any subscriptions for an address.

To add a new address, click Add Address. Here you can add the details: name, phone number, zip code, and so on. Check Make this my default address if desired. Click Add preferences, notes, access codes and more if you wish to add delivery instructions, but this is optional. When done, click Add address.
