Amazon Pre-order and Moving

I’ve got a question:
I have placed my pre-order for the Diablo 3 Collector’s Edition through Amazon. The game comes out on May 15th, and I move into my new apartment on May 11th. What billing address should I use?
The problem is that if I leave it as my current address and they bill me on the 11th or 12th then it will come up as wrong. And if I change my billing address to my new place and they bill me on the 10th or sooner then it will come up as wrong again.
Any suggestions on how to approach this?

I think the shipping address will be fine. It's the billing address that's going to bite me in the butt.
That is the email response from Amazon. I'm not sure if that clears it up for me or not!
I'll change it to the new address then and hopefully stop worrying about it.
That's bullshit; I've had my card refuse charges before from Amazon when my billing address was off by one digit.
* Though they're not necessary.
It's the Diablo 3 Collector's Edition. I'm not sure if I want to risk canceling and rebuying.
Speaking as someone who has worked with credit card processing software, it is completely possible to process cards without using a billing address. The use of a billing address is optional, but it does protect the seller from getting their income retracted due to fraudulent charges.
There's really no reason at all not to wait if you have your bills coming through online banking (which I personally do, as do a lot of people). The bank won't care from my own experience (California > Washington).
There is no need to worry about this. My billing address and mailing address on Amazon are COMPLETELY different. There's no reason to change anything; simply update where you are having the package shipped to.
But is the billing address on your credit card the same as the address set for the billing address on Amazon? That's the problem here. My wife is always on top of things and will want to get the CC address changed to the new address the DAY we move into our new place. So if they cross check the address it could come up as different.
