How do I cancel an order before it’s delivered?

Download Article Download Article Online shoppers are no strangers to “buyer’s remorse.” If you’re regretting a purchase you recently made, you can usually cancel the order and get your money back. There are some general rules for canceling online orders and getting your money back.

1. 1 Keep copies of all order confirmations. Take screenshots of important customer service numbers and links. If you need to cancel the order, you will have easy access to the company’s cancellation procedure.
2. 2 Know your merchants. Some e-commerce websites are better than others for canceling orders. Most big name retailers and Amazon has a cancellation procedure in place, while some consumer-to-consumer sites, like eBay may not allow order cancellations on some purchases.
   • If the retailer doesn’t list a cancellation policy, but you follow up, courts and credit card companies often still file in favor of the customer. If the company says that cancellations are not accepted, it is unlikely that you will receive support through your credit card company.

3. 3 Try to cancel the online order as soon as possible. Your best bet for a full cancellation and refund is to catch it before it ships.
4. 4 Search for an online form on which to cancel your order. Sign into your account and find your order listed. Then, click “Cancel” or fill out the cancellation form with your name, email, phone number, confirmation number, order number and a reason for the cancellation.
5. 5 Write an email that includes these details to the customer service department if the website instructs you to do so. Make sure to include your name, email, phone number, confirmation number, order items, order number and a reason for the cancellation.
6. 6 Call the customer service number provided on the confirmation email or order page. This is faster than email if the website has a 24-7 customer service line. It is a good idea to try both the email/order cancellation form method and call to ensure your cancellation is received.
7. 7 Look for a cancellation confirmation email. The customer service rep may give you a confirmation number by phone. Keep this for future reference.
8. 8 Check your credit card bill to ensure that you have been refunded the money if you successfully cancelled the order before shipping. Note that some refunds take 30 days to show up on your billing statement.
   • Follow up if the money is not credited within 15 to 30 days.

How do I cancel an order after buying it?

Download Article Download Article Online shopping is probably a big part of your life. However, sometimes you might purchase items you don’t need or want. Online retailers or auction sites, however, might make it difficult for you to back out of the purchase. Fortunately, by quickly canceling the purchase and communicating with the seller, you may be able to back out of the purchase.

1. 1 Cancel online immediately. Quickly navigate to the website. Then find the Manage Orders or Customer Service tab. In this section, you’ll be able to navigate to a list of your online purchases. Look for the specific purchase and cancel it. Remember, though, the quicker you cancel, the better your chances of not having to pay anything.
   • Some websites will require you to send a message to a customer service representative before they confirm cancellation. Be succinct and direct when you send your message.
2. 2 Call customer service. If you’re unable to cancel the purchase online, you’ll have to call customer service. When you speak to customer service, provide them with your order number and tell them you want to cancel it. They may be able to cancel immediately.
   • The customer service number is usually found under “contact” information toward the bottom of the website.
   • Be very polite. For example, say “please” and “thank you.”
   • If they say they can’t cancel the order, ask to speak with a supervisor.

3. 3 Give a valid, specific reason. Many companies will not let you cancel a purchase freely if you just changed your mind about a product. Thus, you need to provide a legitimate reason for why you no longer want the product. Some reasons may include:
   • The ad listing misrepresents the product.
   • You found a cheaper price.
   • The product is damaged or is not the exact product you ordered.
4. 4 Write down the transaction or cancellation ID number. If you are able to cancel your order, write down the confirmation number that the website or customer service representative gives you. This way, if there is an issue with the order in the future, you’ll be able to reference your cancellation.
5. 5 Verify you received a refund. After your order is cancelled, you should receive a refund. This may take a few days, so you’ll have to check your bank account or credit card statement regularly. Remember:
   • Under (United States) law, if you paid with a debit card, cash, or check, your money must be refunded within seven work days. If you purchased with a credit card, your money must be refunded within a billing cycle.

1. 1 Retract your bid. Under certain circumstances, you may be allowed to back out of a winning auction bid without penalty. Retracting your bid may be as simple as hitting “cancel” or “rescind bid.” There are, however, other cases in which an online auction site may allow you to back out of a purchase, they include:
   • The seller materially changed the advertisement of the product.
   • The seller misrepresented the product.
   • You entered the wrong amount for your bid. This should be obvious. For instance, if the last bid was $200 and your winning bid was $2,000.
2. 2 Speak with a representative of the auction site. If you’re unable to retract your winning bid online, you should call the auction site directly. Inform them that you’d like to cancel your bid and cancel the purchase.
   • Scroll down to the “contact” tab on the webpage. It may be located toward the bottom of the page.
   • If you have a long history of using the online auction site, let them know you are a loyal customer.
   • Offer to pay a cancellation fee.
   • Be polite. Say things like “please” and “thank you.”
3. 3 Contact the seller by email. If the auction site is unwilling or unable to cancel the bid, you may need to contact the seller of the product directly. Although they are under no obligation to let you out of the sale, the person might be willing to cancel the purchase and relist their item.
   • They may want you to pay any fees associated with them relisting their item.
   • The seller may let you out of the sale if they think there weren’t enough bidders and the price of their item did not go high enough. In addition, they could also profit if you volunteer to pay them for the trouble of relisting the item.

   • Some companies may allow you 24 hours to cancel an order.
   • Many companies will not allow you to cancel an order after it has shipped.

   • In the case that a product has already shipped, you may need to pay a fee and shipping cost of the product.
3. 3 Talk to your credit card company. If you used a credit card to make the purchase, you may simply be able to call them and cancel the purchase. Ultimately, this depends on the specific credit card company and their policies. For instance:
   • American Express has a very customer-oriented policy and will typically cancel a purchase at their cardholder’s request.
   • Most Visa, MasterCard, and Discover cards may not cancel a purchase unless it was somehow fraudulent.

What rights do consumers have to cancel? – A consumer who has purchased your goods via an online platform has the right to cancel the contract and claim a refund without giving any reason or justification and without incurring any liability (unless exceptions apply) within 14 calendar days of receiving the goods.

1. This right gives the consumer the opportunity to examine the goods as they would be able to do in a retail store.
2. Please note that the consumer does not have to pay for the return of the goods unless you have informed them that they have to bear that cost.
3. The 14-day cancellation period starts the day the goods are in the physical possession of the consumer (or when the last item in the order is in the consumers possession in the case of multiple goods).

Weekends and public holidays are included in the 14 days. However, the cancellation period expires at the end of the following working day if the end of the 14 days falls on one of those days. On receipt of the returned goods, or confirmation that they have been sent by the consumer, you must refund within 14 days, if it is found that the consumer handled the goods beyond what is necessary in order to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning (typically as they would be handled in a retail shop), and if this diminishes the value of the goods by any amount, you are entitled to claim that amount back from the consumer (but you may have to justify this).

The consumer unseals certain goods after delivery where the seal is necessary for health protection or hygiene reasons – for example, make-up, or swimwear where the hygiene seal has been removed The consumer removes the seal on audio or video recordings, or computer software The goods become mixed inseparably with other goods – for example, paint additive being added to a consumer’s pot of paint
