Auto-cancellation

Manage OrdersManage CancellationsCancellation Policy
There are specific situations where we will automatically cancel an order and refund your customer. We do this to preserve a positive shopping experience for our customers while also helping you meet your customer service standards. These situations are as follows:
  • If you do not process your customer's cancellation request within 24 hours
  • For standard orders, if you do not update your customer's order's status to "To Ship - Awaiting Collection" within the Service Level Agreement (SLA) period. Please see our Order Fulfilment Timelines article for more information.
  • For standard orders, if your Logistics Service Provider (LSP) has not collected the order within the Service Level Agreement (SLA) period.
  • For pre-orders, if the order was not shipped by the Expected Shipped Date (calculated by adding 2 calendar days to the number of days chosen by the seller to ship the order).
  • The order's status has remained at "To Ship - Awaiting Collection" for a period exceeding the Service Level Agreement (SLA) period.
  • Your customer does not pay for the order.
  • The LSP reported the order as lost or damaged while enroute to your customer.
  • We detect illegal, fraudulent or suspicious activity, or determine that fulfilling the order would violate local law.
  • We believe that cancellation is necessary to protect your customer's experience.

What are the Service Level Agreement (SLA) periods?

  • The order is not ready for shipment within 2 working days from when the order was placed (i.e. the order status is not set to "To Ship - Awaiting Collection").
OR
  • The order is ready for shipment but has not been collected by the logistics provider within 3 working days from the date the order was placed.
