I noticed the billing address is different than the shipping address for orders off Amazon.com. When I asked what gets sent to the billing address they kept saying
The billing address will reflect on the on line invoice which you have
the option to view on line or print from the website. A bill only be
sent to the billing address if an account requires payment from our
collections department.
So nothing gets sent to the billing address unless there's an outstanding balance? How does this even make sense since things are paid for by credit card, would Amazon send you a bill if you hadn't paid off your credit card?
Best Answer
Yes, if you have a debit or credit card through Amazon.com, or another form of payment where they are handling the account, that's where the bill or notice would go if you are late on payments.
That address can also be used to verify that the owner of the card is the real owner of the card when they check with the bank or card issuer and compare against the billing address listed on the order. It's one factor in helping against fraud.
But most of the time nothing is sent there.
