Overview
Track your vehicle’s progress from order to delivery or pickup. The tracking system shows you exactly where your order is in the fulfillment process through clear stages. You can see your current status, estimated delivery or pickup dates, shipping information, and contact details for questions. This works for both home delivery and pickup orders.How It Works
Click “Track my order” from your Buyer Portal to open the tracking view. You’ll see fulfillment steps displayed vertically (typically six, with an optional seventh step for post-fulfillment requirements). Completed steps show checkmarks, your current step is expanded with details, and future steps are shown but collapsed. The information displayed adapts based on whether you chose delivery or pickup, showing relevant details like delivery address, pickup location, shipping tracking, and estimated dates.Access Order Tracking
