If you put the wrong billing address on an online order, the worst thing that can happen is that your order may be canceled. More often, the retailer will notify you of the error, and you'll have the chance to update your information. Your order should process normally once your information is updated.
A billing address is the address connected to a specific form of payment, which is typically a credit or debit card. A billing address also allows online merchants to reduce fraud through a service provided by the card networks (i.e., Visa/MasterCard/American Express) called Address Verification System (AVS).
You can go to the credit card company's website and search for the mailing address there. For example, to find the mailing address on the Chase website, click the drop-down menu (three lines in the top-left corner on the home page) and select "Contact Us." On the Customer Service page, select Credit Cards.
Billing Address: The billing address is the address associated with your credit card—it is used to verify your credit card information. Your billing address is where you receive your statement for the credit card. The billing address must match the address that your credit card company has on file.
AVS compares the numeric portion of the billing address that you provide to the merchant with the billing address on file with your card issuer. For example if your address is 123 Main Street, Somewhere, CA 94000 it would check the 123 in the address and 94000 zip code.
You cannot correct billing information or address information either. Billing address does not matter. As long as the charge went though, which in this case, it did.
Four Ways to Change Your Billing Address
- Write the new address on the back of your payment coupon. If you typically mail your monthly credit card payments, the back of the payment coupon will include a space for address changes.
- Call customer service.
- Make the address change online.
- File a change of address with USPS.

There is no such Amazon Policy. I include a packing slip with price - even if the buyer requests otherwise. Most requests for no invoice are attempts by dropshippers to overcharge the customer. A packing slip reminds customers that they did indeed receive the book.
A billing address is the address you provided to your bank or credit card company. A shipping address is where you'd like your order to be sent. When checking out, please make sure your shipping address is correct and up to date.
The billing address is where to send the bill or request for payment and the shipping address is where to send the product. Today, with credit card payments common, the billing address may be the address for the credit card as confirmation of payment.
Yes you can. In fact it is how gifts are sent to loved ones. Just make sure you enter correct pin codes and phone numbers for the addresses since neither billing nor delivery address can be changed post shipping. And of course your delivery address number is the one the delivery agent will call so double check that.
Yes, they are the same. Usually you are asked for a 'delivery address' and an 'invoicing/billing address'.
You might presume that, if you lost your debit or credit card, without your billing address it would be useless for online shopping. However, this does not appear to be the case, and in reality it is left up to retailers to decide on the level of verification to enforce.
Yes, you should be able to. Unless you add the gift note to your order, it'll be an anonymous gift. If it's gift card, then they'll know unless it's a physical gift card. No, you cannot send a gift anonymously to anyone via amazon.
We make it our utmost priority to ship out all orders in private and discreet standard packaging. All items shipped are enclosed in a plain unmarked packaging that would in no way disclose the contents within.
Amazon's FAQ about gifts states that “the name and address you provide as the shipping address will appear on the packing slip.” The gift wrapping and price will depend on the supplier. But they don't specify anything about showing or not the sender's address. As a matter of fact, it sometimes shows up, sometimes not.
You can hide orders that you're no longer interested in referencing, hide items from immediate view that may be embarrassing, or keep gifts secret if you share an account with your children or with somebody else. To hide an order: Go to Your Orders and locate the applicable order. Select Hide order.
Call the number on the bottom of the AMAZON website and speak to a live agent. Tell them you want to trace a package sent to you from another individual. Give the date, time you received it as well the package number, item description and number if it has one, along with your name, and address.
There are three ways:
- Ship it to yourself, then re-ship via USPS.
- Purchase via telephone and ask the merchant to ship anonymously, many will do this, especially if you provide a reason.
- Create a new account on Amazon or wherever under a false name. When you send a gift, it will say it's from the name on the account.
Go to Amazon.com, hover over “Accounts & Lists” in the upper-right, and select “Create a List.” 2. In the Create a List box, select “You” (in order to keep your address private) and “Wish List,” then enter a descriptive List name, and select a Privacy setting.
The gift-wrap option is valid only for items Fulfilled by Amazon. The product will be accompanied with an invoice. We will leave the tags intact in case the product needs to be returned.
Companies use the billing address to verify the authorized use of such a card. Billing addresses must match what the card issuing bank has on file, or the attempted purchase may not go through. In conclusion the name on a credit card has to match with the billing address.
In the context of data, a "default" anything (default address, default phone number, default means of communication, etc.) is the one to use if nothing else is specified (e.g., home address, work address, billing address, shipping address, care-of address, and so on).

Generally, yes. A lot of letter carriers deliver by address and largely ignore names. After a customer does that a time or two, you know not to give them anything that has their address but someone else's name on it since they don't want it. Most boxes do not have names on them anymore.
