Autoplicity Support

(Covers Pending Shipment, Unshipped, and Partially Shipped Orders)

1. Overview

A Unfulfilled Order refers to any order that fails to ship on time or shows no verifiable progress in transit.

This includes:

2. SLA and Immediate Actions

• SLA for Vendor Fulfillment: 48 hours

• If an order has not shipped within 48 hours, it is out of SLA and must be investigated or cancelled.

• Always act quickly once the customer reaches out — delays increase the risk of chargebacks.

3. Step-by-Step Workflow

✉️Step 1: Verify Shipment Status

1. Check tracking in CRM or carrier website.

2. Determine which scenario applies:

✉️ Step 2: Vendor Communication

A. For Pending Shipment (No Tracking Yet)

Subject: CANCEL REQUEST – PO# <Insert PO> 

Hello, 

We received notice that this order has not shipped and is now past SLA. Please CANCEL this order and issue credit so we can refund our customer and avoid a chargeback. 

If the order has shipped, please provide updated tracking details. 

Thank you for your assistance.

B. For Unshipped Order (Label Created, No Movement)

Subject: CANCEL REQUEST – No Movement – PO# <Insert PO> 

Hello, 

Tracking for this order shows “Label Created” only with no movement, and the ESD has passed. 

Please confirm if this has shipped under a different tracking number. If it has not shipped, kindly CANCEL the order and issue credit immediately. 

If the order later ships, we will not assume financial responsibility for it. 

Tracking: <Insert URL> 

Thank you,

If the Vendor insists the order shipped under the same tracking, but there’s still no movement after 5 business days, proceed with cancellation. 
Reply to Vendor:
"Since this order evidently did not ship, please confirm issuance of the credit memo.
 Additionally, if this order does end up shipping, we will not assume financial responsibility for it."

C. For Partial Shipment

Subject: RMA / Return Request – Partial Shipment – PO# <Insert PO>

Hello, 

One or more items on this PO have not shipped. Please confirm the status. If these items are no longer available, please approve an RMA for the unshipped portion so we can process a refund. 

Thank you,
<Signature>

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
