ORDER STATUS GLOSSARY

UNDERSTANDING THE STATUS OF YOUR ORDER

The status of your order is available in Your Order History within 1 hour after you place an order and is automatically updated each time your order moves a step further in the process. The following list of status messages and their meanings will help you understand what's going on with your order.

Some orders may contain items that ship separately by different carriers and /or shipping methods; the individual item status for orders that are shipped via multiple methods is also available in Your Order History.

HOW IS ORDER STATUS DIFFERENT FROM TRACKING INFORMATION?

The status of your order is supplied by www.gnc.com, and your order status between the time you place it and the time it ships from our warehouse. Once your order leaves our warehouse, it is handled by a carrier (such as FedEx, USPS or UPS) that may provide tracking information until your order is delivered*. The tracking information is accessible from Your Order History on our website when it becomes available.
