When an order is canceled on Amazon, several things happen. First, if the order was canceled before it was shipped, no charge should be made to your payment method. For orders that were already charged, a refund is initiated immediately upon cancellation and typically processed within 3 to 5 business days. If you cancel an order with Amazon Prime, any shipping fees associated with that order are also refunded. It’s important to check your email for a confirmation from Amazon detailing the cancellation and refund information.
