How It Works · Order Flow

Complete Order Lifecycle

From submission to delivery, here is exactly what happens with every order placed through Elite Supplies Inc — including portal status indicators at every stage.

01

Order Submission Instant

Your action: Upload CSV file. Log in to portal.elitesuppliesinc.com and upload a CSV containing Product SKU, Quantity, and the customer's delivery address (name, street, city, state/province, ZIP, country). Order enters our system. You receive confirmation. Portal status: "Order Received"

02

Inventory Allocation 1–3 business days

Your action: None (automated). We verify product availability with authorized suppliers, allocate and reserve the inventory, and calculate product pricing based on supplier costs. Pricing displays in your portal. You're notified when allocation is complete. Portal status: "Inventory Allocated"

03

Shipping Label Generation Same day as allocation

Your action: None (automated). We create shipping labels with our carrier partners. Tracking number is generated. Estimated delivery date is calculated based on product origin (Europe, Japan, China, Australia, USA), destination country, and carrier service level. Tracking visible in your portal. Portal status: "Awaiting Payment"

04

Payment Submission 3–5 business days (your timeframe)

Your action: Submit payment + proof. Wait for your payment processor to release customer funds. Submit payment using assigned payment method. Upload payment proof to portal — screenshot, bank receipt, or transaction ID/confirmation number. Payment proof must clearly show amount, date, and transaction reference. Portal status: "Payment Submitted – Pending Verification"

05

Payment Verification 1–4 hours during business hours

Your action: None (team review). Our team reviews your payment proof — amount matches order total, payment method matches assigned method, transaction appears legitimate. Confirmation email sent upon approval. If issues arise, we contact you via portal notification. Portal status: "Payment Verified – Processing Shipment"

06

Shipment Same day after verification

Your action: None (supplier ships). Order details sent to authorized supplier. Supplier packs and ships the product. Tracking becomes active. Tracking updates appear in real-time. You can share tracking with your customer. Portal status: "Shipped"

07

In Transit 3–30 days depending on origin

Your action: Monitor tracking (optional). Product travels from supplier to customer. Tracking updates automatically. Carrier handles customs clearance for international orders. Delivery attempts made per carrier policy. Portal status: "In Transit"
