When you cancel an order on Amazon, the cancellation process begins immediately. If the order hasn't been shipped yet, it's usually straightforward and the cancellation is processed quickly. You'll receive a confirmation email about the cancellation. If your payment was already processed, Amazon will initiate a refund to your original payment method, which can take a few days to reflect. If the order was already on its way, you might need to return the package to get a refund. Always check the status of your order in the 'Your Orders' section to confirm cancellation and refund status.
