The different status of your order lets you know the process of your order. The different statuses are; pending/waiting for payment to clear, in process/ processing, on hold, complete/shipped.
Pending/ waiting for payment to clear: This means we are waiting for your payment to be cleared. Once your payment has been cleared, we start processing your order.
In Process/ Processing: This means we have received your payment and have started processing your order.
On Hold: This means your order is ready, but not being shipped. Usually this happens when a customer ask us to ship their products on a certain date, or if we are still waiting for payment. We suggest calling us at 416-214-4299 or toll free at 866-901-0600, if you see the status of your order change to “On Hold”.
Complete/Shipped: This means your order is completed and has been shipped or picked up. Once your order has been shipped, you will get an email notification with your tracking number. If you choose “Free Store Pick Up” you will receive a phone call and email notifying you that your order is ready.
