Awaiting Fulfillment What It Means And What To Expect

If you ordered from a large company, your order was sent to the fulfillment team, who is in charge of packaging your item and getting it ready for shipment. If you ordered from a small business, your order may be handled by a single person. If you bought something customized or custom-made, “awaiting fulfillment” may mean that the retailer is still working on your custom order. [2] X Research source

Some companies treat “pending fulfillment” and “awaiting fulfillment” as separate statuses. In these cases, “awaiting fulfillment” means that your item isn’t being packaged for shipment yet, while “pending fulfillment” means that it’s currently being packaged. [5] X Research source

If your package is still “awaiting shipment,” there are probably other orders ahead of yours in the shipping queue.

Keep checking your order status on the retailer’s website for updates on the rest of your package.
