Order Confirmation:
You’ll get an email or on-screen message confirming that your order was received. It lists what you bought, the price, and your shipping address or delivery details.
Payment Processing:
The seller or payment processor charges your card or account. Sometimes this happens immediately; other times, it’s only finalized once the order ships.
Order Fulfillment:
The company prepares your item—picking it from inventory, packaging it, and labeling it for delivery.
Shipping / Delivery:
You’ll receive a tracking number (if applicable) so you can follow the package’s progress. Delivery can take anywhere from hours (for food or local deliveries) to several days.
Order Completion / Receipt:
Once it arrives, you check that everything’s correct. Many stores then send a follow-up email or request for feedback.
Returns or Support (if needed):
If there’s a problem, you can usually contact customer service to request a refund, replacement, or return label.
