What does Amazon Shipping "AddressNotFound" mean?
The address was missing or incorrect, so the shipment is already returning to the seller.
What it means
Amazon's definition is explicit that the shipment is undeliverable and is returning to the seller because the address was missing or incorrect. This is not a pause pending a correction.
Should I worry?
Yes. It is already on its way back rather than waiting for a fix.
What you can do now
- Correct the address with the seller and ask them to reship.
- Do not expect this shipment to be re-attempted.
