How to change shipping method on amazon

Q: Can you change Amazon delivery instructions after order?

Access Codes and Delivery Instructions If youve already placed your order you can update your access code, request cancellation, or add delivery instructions for that individual order through Your Orders.

Amazon makes it easy to store multiple shipping addresses, which is something of a double-edged sword. Shipping a gift to friends or family is often a simple matter of selecting the right address from a list when placing the order. But at the same time, you can accidentally choose the wrong address and not discover the error until after you've completed the purchase.

Quick tip: If your order is being delivered by a third party carrier like FedEx, the delivery address can't be changed after the order is placed, so you'll need to cancel it and start over.

If the order is being shipped by Amazon's own delivery fleet, you can simply edit your order and change the delivery address any time before the order leaves the warehouse, because Amazon doesn't need to send the delivery info to a third party like FedEx or UPS. Here's what you need to know.
