How To Fix Your Address and Pin Location For Amazon When They Deliver To Wrong Address

I recently had an Amazon package delivered to the wrong address, and then two days later had to run half a mile to catch the driver about to put a package multiple blocks away from my address.

The odd thing though was that in the Delivery Tracking, it showed my Address as correct, but the pin on the map was incorrect.

After some digging with Bing (I get $10 in Amazon gift cards a month using Bing!), I found numerous other accounts of people having similar issues, and it took some time to find a solution that works. Thankfully one guy figured out the solution. Below is how to reset your Address Pin.

The Problem: Amazon Address shows as correct but the Pin is in the wrong position, and packages are being delivered to that pin.

The Solution:

These instructions should work for both Desktop and Mobile App.

* Go to your Account page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/homepage.html

* Click on “Devices” under Digital content and devices.

* Then click on Preferences.

* Click Change on the Country/Region Settings.

* In the popup box use the drop down to choose the correct address.

And that should do it!

If you go back to a recent Order and click on “Track Package” you should see the pin back in the correct position of your address. It worked for me!

8 Horror Movies To Watch On Amazon Prime – October 2024

Boo. It’s scary movie watching season. And Amazon Prime is not f-ing around this October with their Horror movie options. Some new and old classics included. Check out a list of 8 great Horror movies currently on Amazon Prime, with 5 bonus movies at the end.

Direct links to the movies on the Title and the Image.

Find lists of what movies to watch and what’s currently streaming on:
*Amazon Prime*
*Freevee*

*Pluto.tv*
*Tubi*


Barbarian (2022)

About: Barbarian is a very rewatchable movie. Maybe stay away if you have a scary basement. Justin Long’s character is an irremediable piece of shit, but man it’s hard not to love his opening scene in the movie (prior to him answering the phone, where it’s all down hill from that).


Doctor Sleep (2019)

About: As a The Shining lover, when I first watched Doctor Sleep, I wasn’t holding my breathe for something I loved, or even liked. HOWEVER, despite realizing it’s not “great”, I really do enjoy this movie. Ewan McGregor and Kyliegh Curran are both excellent in the film. Probably helps if you’ve seen The Shining, but I think you can pick up on the whole Shine plot either way.


10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

About: This was my first and only Cloverfield movie, so far. Not Bad. Have to love John Goodman. I think this would be considered a “Bottle Movie“, and I think it works well.


Sleepaway Camp (1983)

About: A…Campy B-horror movie classic. I actually enjoy Sleepaway Camp 2 more, but this is still a good/bad movie.

Listen to the Podcast Episode from With Gourley And Rust about this movie!


The VVitch (2015)

About: I’m going to be strong enough to watch this movie this October. I’m going to be strong enough to watch this movie this October. I’m going to be strong enough to watch this movie this October.

I just watched the trailer and it frankly looks very scary. VVish me luck.


Suspiria (2018)

About: I know real Horror and Film heads will probably hate this take, but I found the original 1977 Suspiria essentially unwatchable. However this 2018 version from Luca Guadagnino is very good and very rewatchable. What’s with me and all the rewatchability stuff??


Hellraiser (1987)

About: An classic. There are a few other available from the 11 or so Hellraiser movies. Weird, fun stuff.


The Thing (1982)

About: John Carpenter’s masterpiece? Probably. Such a great flick. So great in fact, I’m going to go put on The Thing (1982) on Amazon Prime, right now!


Bonus movies:

*Constantine (2005)

*The Menu (2022)

*Night Swim (2024)

*The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

*Invitation to Hell (1984)

Happy Horror Watching!

How I Make About $10 Per Month In Free Amazon Gift Cards

The short of it is: by using Bing Search!

Microsoft has a Rewards program, where you get points if you do things like use Bing as a search engine, buy Xbox games, or purchase items in the Microsoft Store.

I don’t game much these days, and don’t use any Microsoft products, so I don’t get any points via those avenues. All the points I do get it are from using Bing Search. I set it as my defaults for my browsers, and also have the Bing app on my phone.

Many of these points I get each day are from me just using the internet as I normally would, but I’ll also spend a few minutes each day doing additional searches, to hit the maximum points I can get for the day. There are also bonus points you can get based on frequnecy, searching specific topics, or doing a poll/quiz.

With these searches I get points to trade them in for roughly $10 a month in Amazon gift cards.

You can trade the points in for many things including an actual Xbox(!), sweepstakes, food gift cards, or even give to charity.

Examples of options to redeem your Microsoft Reward points.

Good Stuff To Buy: Welcome To Dud/Bullshit/Trash City

OPAD #21 – Feb 23, 2024

Listen, this post a day thing gets hard when you [redacted] [redacted] [redacted]. I’m trying to make it at least 30 days. Getting close. BUT there will be some duds. There will be some bullshit. There will be some trash.

Welcome to dud/bullshit/trash city.

(These are affiliate links. I will get pennies on the dollar if you buy these duds, bullshit, or trash.)


Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Medium Roast Whole Bean Coffee – Homestead Blend

I’m not a coffee snob, but a coffee snob enough to know that the Folgers sludge my mom drinks is bad. After a few years of trying better, beaned coffee, which I grind prior to putting into my French Press, this Stumptown variety has become my favorite.


PILOT G2 Premium Fine Point Gel Ink Pen, 0.7 mm

I have over 40 Pilot G2s in varying sizes: .38, .7, 1.0, plus the mini versions.


Ministry for the Future – A Novel By Kim Stanley Robinson

I read this book over a year ago and I still can’t stop thinking about it. Care about climate change? Think about how oil executives [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted]? You should read this book!


A Nightmare On Elm Street Collection (7 of them) on Blu-ray

Freddie and the gang, bitch.


Hamilton Beach 1.7L Electric Tea Kettle, Water Boiler & Heater

It’s not the best, but it’s what I use. That Stumptown Coffee up above, morning British black tea, nighttime chamomile tea, trying to unclog drains with hot water, my HB 1.7L Electric Tea Kettle has seen it all.


BLACK+DECKER Turbo Desk Fan – Electric Portable 7 Inch Table Fan

About to get hot. Gotta keep cool. (I have three of these.)

5 Of The Best Newsroom Thrillers

OPAD #11 – Feb 13, 2024

Is there anything sexier than a news person breaking a story? Probably. But watch these movies anyway.

All The President’s Men (1976)

About: Robert Redford dialing a rotary phone, with that hair and tie, exhausted, chasing the story…has cinema ever been so thrilling? And hot?

Links: Watch on Amazon Prime

Network (1976)

About: I’m mad as hell (that you are not watching these 5 Newsroom Thrillers!) and I’m not going to take it anymore! (actually, that’s fine. please keep reading, and watch one of these great flicks).

Links: Buy on Amazon Prime

Spotlight (2015)

About: I could watch 7 hours of this movie. In fact, I have attempted to simulate this by watching this movie (129min) 3 times in a row. I gave up 1.4x in. Will try again.

Cast is stacked. It’s infuriating. No real justice, but maybe sort of?

Links: Buy on Amazon Prime

Zodiac (2007)

About: This Fincher Flick might not *seem* like it would be a Newsroom Thriller, but it does the impossible: makes a nerdy, divorced, cartoonist seem interesting and cool(??).

Oh also they try to solve some Serial Killer case, I guess? I was too busy hanging with Robert (Downey Jr.) and Jake (Gyllenhaal) in The San Francisco Chronicle Pit.

She Said (2022)

About: Watching soon.

Some links may be Amazon affiliate links.

14 New Movies In November On Tubi

9 Horror Movies To Watch On Amazon Prime

All The President’s Men (1976)

About: Is there anything more riveting (and sexy) than a Newsroom Thriller. All The President’s Men is the OG (Maybe not but close enough). If you like Zodiac or Spotlight, you’ll love this 70’s Watergate Thriller.

Links: Watch on Amazon Prime


Notting Hill (1999)

About: British Rom-com from the late 90s, early 00s. I’m there and I’m laughing and I’m creaming my jeans. A little *cheeky* but that’s okay. Any hot British actress want to do a reverse movie set in Logan Square, Chicago with me, a guy who is not Hugh-Grant-Hot and spends too much time in his apartment?

Links: Watch on Amazon Prime



The Running Man (1987)

About: I’ve got 9 words for you: A Sexy, Nineteen-Eighties Schwarzenegger Dystopian Future Action Movie. It’s perfect camp and action. You’ll like if you are a fan of Demolition Man.

Links: Watch on Amazon Prime


Jurassic Park III (2001)

About: An underrated movie. Actually both this and Jurassic Park II are, in hindsight, fine and fun action movies. Arguably better than the newer Pratt Jurassic Movies. (Okay, full disclosure, I re-watched today and it turns out I confused much of II and III. III is not great. Cast was decent, Sam Neill and William H. Macy and Téa Leoni, but there is just so much yelling. Bad.)

Links: Watch on Amazon Prime


Batman Returns (and others)

About: There are quite a few of Batman Movies currently on Amazon Prime, however Batman Returns is probably the best (I don’t think Dark Knight is on Prime). Devito as the Penguin. And Michelle Pfeiffer as the Catwoman. A formative viewing for a young Mike and his future love of skin tight outfits and leather. *meow*

Links: Watch on Amazon Prime


Fatal Attraction (1987)

About: I watched this movie earlier this year because of the of Podcast With Gourley And Rust, during their “Yuppie Nightmare” Season 1. It just so happens they are currently doing Season 2 of “Yuppie Nightmare”. Anyways, it’s a fun/creepy lil’ sexy flick, and you should also listen to the Matt Gourley and Paul Rust podcast.

Links: Watch on Amazon Prime


X (2022)

About: [Okay watching now, semi-live posting about it.] Creepy and sexy. And just a little bit of murder (possibly with an axe?). WHO ARE THESE OLD FUCKS. Okay just saw a knife murder by an old lady. These old people are the ghosts of the young people?? Sorry, I’m not paying that close attention. Enjoying the cinematography though. Hope they get back to this soft-core porn making though. SPOILER: NASTY OLD PEOPLE SEX.

Links: Watch on Amazon Prime


The Fast And The Furious (and others)

About: Dumb. Fast. Action. Vroom Vroom.

Cars are Actually Bad.

Links: Watch on Amazon Prime


Monsters (2010)

About: Scoot!!* We absolutely love Scoot.* Can’t get enough of Scoot.* Okay, so we haven’t watched this yet but we will be very soon…because of Scoot.*

*Scoot McNairy. We love Scoot McNairy.

The Fog (1980)

About: The *vibes* of this movie are fogalicious. I only recently, after years of loving this movie, found out it’s a John Carpenter joint.

A slow horror, 80s camp, and you’ll rethink your coastal vacation.


Last Night In Soho (2021)

About: I haven’t seen (yet) but it’s an Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, etc.) movie, so you know it’s at least semi-good. I’m slightly concerned about the neon aesthetic but I’m willing to give it a go.

Fully disclosure, I thought “SoHo” in this movie was the SoHo NYC (The Big Apple).

I did watch the trailer and it’s giving me Suspriria coded.

*9 New Movies to watch on Amazon Prime November 2023*

Piranha (1978)

About: This is one of my favorite 80s B-movies that actually came out in the 70s. Bad acting, campy (pun!), and fun (rhyme!). Don’t be deceived by the remake with the same name. Although, if you get the chance to watch the post 2000 remakes, including 3D (2010) and 3DD (2012), watch those. They are silly fun, and boob-filled.


Deep Blue Sea (1999)

About: An iconic ’99 shark movie. Stacked cast. Fun and funny. A LL Cool J rap to start the credits. Sharks!! This movie has it all. It’s one of those movies where every time I’m at a place that has cable and this is playing on like VH1 or TNT or FXM, you know I’m watching it.


Saw Movies (2004)

About: Prime currently has all(?), or at least most of the Saw movies. If you like little clown guys riding around on a tricycle who also kills and maims people. I honestly don’t think I’ve seen more than Saw I and Saw II. These are the type of horror I actually get scared during. There are freaks out there that are smart and have lots of money and if they wanted they could kidnap and torture me. No thanks!



Hellraiser (1987)

About: I wrote about Hellraiser on 9 Horror Movies To Watch On Tubi. A short “about” if you don’t want to click there: Hellraiser Movies Rock.


Old (2021)

About: This movie came out 2 years ago. Feel Old Yet?


Knock at the Cabin (2023)

About: I haven’t watched this yet, but plan to very soon. Maybe tomorrow. Check back when I update this once I’ve watched it.


M3GAN (Unrated)(2022)

About: Just a really fun and really dumb movie. Be sure you watch it with a girl you sort of like, but aren’t really sure, who likes your attention when she wants it, but is not interested in anything past that. Uhhhh M3GAN much???


Smile (2022)

About: Honestly the Smile is too scary. I haven’t seen this movie. I assume it’s terrifying. I will never watch this by myself.

Link: https://amzn.to/3ou2wUi

FIELD & FARMER Plant Based Creamy Caesar Dressing

About: My first time buying this Field & Farmer Caesar Dressing, I hadn’t noticed it was Plant Based, and at first I was PISSED.

I quickly was no longer “pissed” and was actually quite “pleased”. it’s good! The plant based Field & Farmer Caesar Dressing is good! I has been added to my dressing/sauces rotation.

However, if you need to get that organic clog out of your sink/toilet give this “worm” a chance.
