Q. How is order status different from tracking information?

A. The status of your order is supplied by store.ticats.ca, and represents what is happening with your order 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 Canada Post, Purolator 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. Please note: tracking information may not be available for up to 48 hours after an item is shipped from our warehouse.

Q. I don't understand something in the status of my order. What does it mean?

A. Understanding the Status of Your Order
The status of your order is available in 'Your Order History' almost immediately after you place an order and is automatically updated each time your order moves a step further in the process. (Please note: immediately after you place an order, order information may not appear on store.ticats.ca in your order history for up to 12 hours). 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. In some cases, these items may not have tracking information.
Here is a list of standard status messages and their meanings:

  • Submitted and processing: Your order has been submitted and the information you entered during checkout is being processed.
  • Item(s) located in stock: The items that you selected and submitted with your order during checkout are available and have been located in our warehouse.
  • Shipped on: dd/mm/yyyy: The items have shipped from our warehouse and are on their way to the shipping destination indicated by you during checkout.
  • Return received on: dd/mm/yyyy: Return is processing. If you returned an item to our warehouse, this status lets you know that we have received the item.
  • Credit issued on: dd/mm/yyyy: After your returned item is processed and your original order information is located, your credit is issued. You can expect to receive credit for a returned item within 30 days of when we receive it at the warehouse.
  • Canceled on dd/mm/yyyy: due to missing or invalid order information. If an error occurs during the order authorization process it first goes into suspension while we attempt to reach you for verification, and then it is canceled. Once an order is canceled it cannot be processed and must be placed again on our website in order to proceed.

The Reebok vector is embroidered on each sleeve and a Reebok-CFL Equipment jock tag with numeric sizing is applied to the lower left bottom of the jersey.
