If your AllChinaBuy order is marked as "pending," don’t panic. This status usually means your purchase from TaoBao, 1688, or other Chinese platforms is being processed. Here’s how to handle it like a pro.

Why Is My AllChinaBuy Order Pending?

A pending status often occurs during payment verification, inventory checks, or seller confirmation. AllChinaBuy acts as your proxy buyer, so delays may arise if the original seller hasn’t shipped yet. Double-check your email for updates or log into your AllChinaBuy account for real-time status.

How Long Do Pending Orders Take?

Typically, orders move from "pending" to "processing" within 1–3 business days. For high-demand items (e.g., seasonal products), delays may extend to 5 days. Pro tip: Review the seller’s processing time on TaoBao/1688 before contacting support.

Steps to Resolve a Stuck Pending Order

1. Check Payment Status: Ensure your payment (via PayPal, credit card, etc.) succeeded. Failed transactions will keep the order pending.

2. Contact Seller via AllChinaBuy: Use the platform’s messaging system to ask the seller for shipping ETAs.

3. Monitor Your Dashboard: AllChinaBuy updates order statuses automatically. Look for tracking numbers once the item ships.

What If the Order Stays Pending Too Long?

Escalate to AllChinaBuy’s customer support with your order ID. They can liaise with the seller or issue a refund if the item is unavailable. Avoid canceling prematurely—this may incur fees.

Preventing Future Pending Delays

- Opt for sellers with "fast shipping" badges on TaoBao/1688.
