Updated this week

If your order or one of the items in it was canceled, don’t worry. This article will walk you through the most common reasons cancellations happen on Zendrop, what it means for your customer, and what actions you can take next.


Why Orders Get Canceled?

There are a few key reasons why an order (or individual item) might be canceled:

Heads up! Zendrop will always refund you automatically when an order is canceled if already fulfilled.


1. Product Unavailability or Out of Stock

While we strive to keep our catalog updated, there may be rare occasions when an item becomes unavailable before your order is fully processed. This can happen due to:

  • A slight delay in syncing inventory between Zendrop and our supplier

  • The supplier updating or removing the item from their catalog

  • Temporary fulfillment limitations from the supplier's end

2. Shipping Constraints

Orders may also be canceled due to shipping restrictions. For example:

  • The destination address is in a remote area where shipping partners do not operate

  • The item is sensitive or restricted, such as certain electronics, liquids, or perishables that cannot be shipped internationally

3. Domestic-Only Products Ordered Internationally

Some products sourced from US-based suppliers are not eligible for international shipping. In these cases:

  • The system may allow you to place the order initially. Zendrop will review the order internally and if the item can’t be shipped outside the US, it will be canceled and refunded

Next Steps for You

If your order is canceled and Zendrop has already processed the refund, you can go ahead and refund your customer through your sales platform.

In such cases, we’ll notify you right away and offer the best possible solution, including processing a full refund. If you're interested, our team can also help you find a suitable alternative. Your satisfaction remains our top priority!
