To cancel an order before dispatch, the first step is to quickly check the order status through your account on the retailer’s website. If it's still listed as 'pending' or 'processing,' you should be able to find a cancellation option. If not, contact customer service immediately, as they can often cancel the order manually on their end. Have your order number ready for a quicker process. Acting promptly is key, as once an order is dispatched, the cancellation process becomes more complicated.
