Order Status Glossary

Understanding the Status of Your Order

The status of your order is available in your Order History almost immediately after you place an order. It is automatically updated each time your order advances through the process. If items within your order ship separately, your Order History information will be displayed for each item. The following list of status messages will inform you of your order status.

Standard Status Messages

How is order status different from tracking information?

  • The status of your order is supplied by worldmarket.com. It represents the progress of your order between the time it is placed and the time it ships from our warehouse.
  • Once your order leaves our warehouse, it is handled by a carrier (such as FedEx, USPS or UPS) that may provide tracking information until your order is delivered*.
  • The tracking information is accessible from your Order History on our website when it becomes available.

*Tracking information may not be available for up to 48 hours after a product is shipped from our warehouse.
