I broke my Amazon account by having a separate address that I live in versus one that I received packages at. Let me explain our apartment building uses a service called fetch which receives our packages on our behalf and hand, delivers them toward door. It alleviates the needed for package lockers a mail room or dedicated staff. It works pretty well, but we have to use an alternative dress downtown for packages. They basically get shipped to the fetch warehouse and then re-ship 34 times a day to our apartment building, and then somebody comes through and hand delivers them, usually from a van or something like that anyway, that usually works pretty well. However, what it creates is the need for some of my packages to be delivered to my actual address and some of them to be routed to this fetch address and this broke. My Amazon account. I had to get on customer support for about 45 minutes to get it resolved, but basically Amazon behind the scenes stores a separate default shipping address for each of the services you use fresh prime subscribe and save probably more. I just don't use other ones. However, when you go to the addresses tab, it only gives you the ability to change your default address for Amazon. Prime now it'll show you that your addresses are being used for subscribe and save or fresh, but it won't actually let you change the default. So when is it having to do something kind of funky where we created some duplicate, addresses and Gullum all three on the separate addresses that were all the same address and then edited the addresses to be the ones we wanted to be, which is kind of funny. But I am wind up fixing it after about 45 minutes or so, but for a while, my Amazon fresh on my Amazon account was completely broken and Amazon fresh delivery's were going to the wrong address.
