from buy.com's help page: Most orders go through these 4 phases: Processing - - Sent to Warehouse - - In the Shipping Process - - Shipped. Once you order, we carefully check to make sure you're the person using your credit card or gift certificate. While we're doing this, or if we're waiting for you to send in other forms of payment, your order is Processing. You can cancel your order within the first 15 minutes of processing. Once we have verified your payment, your order is Sent to Warehouse to be fulfilled. An item that is In the Shipping Process cannot be cancelled because it is being picked from the shelves, packaged, and stacked on the loading dock. If your item is in stock, your order will be Shipped within 1 to 2 business days. my order is not even 2 hours old yet: 13Oct.2009 @ 11:10 AM (EST or -5GMT)
