Can You Add to an Already Placed Amazon Order?

Have you ever placed an order on Amazon and then a few minutes later thought of something else you wanted to add? You can easily add to an already placed order, but there are some restrictions from Amazon.

Once you have placed an order, it is generally placed in a ‘Pending’ status for up to thirty minutes. During this time, you can make changes and additions to the order. This includes adding items, changing shipping speeds, and cancelling items.

If more than thirty minutes has passed since placing your order, you will not be able to make any changes or additions.

The only exception is if your order has not yet shipped, in which case you may be able to contact customer service to make changes or additions.

If your order has already shipped, then unfortunately it cannot be changed or added onto in any way. However, if the item is eligible for returns and/or exchanges then you may be able to return the item once it arrives and purchase the additional item separately.

Conclusion: Can You Add To An Already Placed Amazon Order?

Yes, but only within the first thirty minutes after placing your order. After that time period has passed then no changes can be made unless your order has not yet shipped and customer service can assist with making changes or additions. If your order has already shipped then unfortunately no changes or additions can be made at that point.
