Follow the following steps to change the location in your Amazon account. 

Step 1: Open the website or the application of Amazon on your preferred device and log in to your account. 

Step 2: Go to the “Account and Lists” section in the top-right corner, from the drop-down menu choose “Manage your content and devices”.

Step 1: Log in to your Amazon account.

Step 2: Accounts and Lists > Your Content and Devices.

Step 3: Choose the Preferences Tab and find the Country/Region Settings.

Step 5: Select Update and you’re done. 

Note: Changing your address will change the location of your Amazon shopping account too, including your chosen address for the delivery of products.
