Amazon provides you the most convenient options to get the items you want delivered to your doorstep. One good thing in Amazon is the flexibility to use different addresses for your delivery depending upon the scenario.
But before that- do you know the difference between shipping address and billing address in Amazon?
Billing address on Amazon is the address directly linked to the payment method or card (i.e. credit or debit card etc.) which you use to make the payment for your Amazon Orders. It is the address associated with the card that is called as the Billing address.
Shipping address as the name indicates, is the address on which you want to take delivery of the goods for your Amazon Order.
In other words, the Billing address is more of permanent address which is directly linked to your card or payment method. While the shipping address may vary from order to order depending on where you want to receive the delivery. So the billing address gets saved in Amazon as a part of the credit or debit card details.

This is unless you take the trouble to notice the option to manually change the billing address before completing the transaction.
So in circumstances, where you are using a new card to order something at a relative or friend’s delivery address.
