After checkout:

  • Orders begin processing immediately
  • Sellers or dispatchment centers prepare items
  • Delivery routes or pickup plans may be scheduled

📌 Changing delivery method mid-process can cause errors, delays, or lost orders — that’s why restrictions exist.


🔄 When You Can Change Delivery or Pickup Options #

✔ If the Order Has NOT Been Fulfilled Yet #

You may be able to change options if:

  • The order is still processing
  • It has not been shipped
  • It is not marked “Ready for Pickup”

In these cases:

  • Some sellers may allow switching between Delivery ↔ Pickup
  • Address changes may still be possible

📌 Availability depends on the seller and order status.


❌ When You Cannot Change Delivery or Pickup Options #

Changes are not allowed if:

  • The order has been shipped
  • The order is marked “Ready for Pickup”
  • The order is already picked up or delivered

📦 For Dispatched by Kingston Express orders, delivery options cannot be changed once processing begins.
