awaiting fulfillment meaning “Awaiting fulfillment” is a status indicating that an order has been placed, but the seller or warehouse has not yet begun the process of preparing or shipping the items. This can be due to several reasons, such as stock availability, order volume, or the need to confirm payment or shipping details. It’s typically seen during the early stages of order processing and is followed by the “shipped” or “dispatched” status once the items are prepared and ready for shipment. Customers should check with the seller if this status persists for an extended period.
