Question

What is the difference between shipping address and a billing address?

Answer 1

Shipping address is where the item is being delivered.

Billing address is the address associated with the credit card you are paying with. May or may not be the same

Answer 2

Shipping address = address to which your package will be shipped

Billing address = address associated with your credit card

Example, your credit card statement is mailed to your home address, but you have your package mailed to your office or a po box.  

Shipping & billing address are usually the same address, but can be different.
