Order statuses and what to do when delivery is late
Every Stars, Premium, gift and Stars-sale order lives on one screen: open Stars & Gifts and tap the clock button in the top right. Orders are listed newest first, and a dot on the clock means something is still in progress.
What the statuses mean
Purchases (Stars, Premium, gifts)
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Awaiting claim | A check link nobody has activated yet |
| Pending | Paid, queued for delivery — you can still cancel |
| Delivering / Sending | Delivery is in progress |
| Delivered | Done |
| Failed | Delivery didn’t happen; the money is back in your wallet |
| Under review | Needs a manual check by support; your funds are safe |
| Cancelled | You cancelled it, or a check expired — refunded |
Stars sales
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Awaiting payment | The Stars invoice hasn’t been paid yet |
| Credited | Paid — the USDT is in your wallet |
| Expired | The invoice wasn’t paid in time; nothing was charged |
| Refunded | The payment couldn’t be applied and went back to your Stars |
Cancelling and refunds
While an order is Pending — or a check is still Awaiting claim — you’ll see Cancel and refund under it. That returns the full amount to your wallet immediately.
Past that point the purchase may already be on its way, so cancelling is no longer possible. If it then fails, the refund is automatic — you don’t need to ask for it.
If delivery is taking too long
Most orders complete within a minute. If one is still moving after that, the system keeps retrying on its own for a while. There are two outcomes:
- it succeeds and flips to Delivered;
- it gives up, and your funds come back as Failed.
Under review is the rare third case: the delivery couldn’t be confirmed either way automatically, so a person checks it. Nothing is lost — the order ends up either delivered or refunded. You don’t need to open a second order in the meantime.
Good to know
- Every refund lands back in the asset you paid with, at the exact amount you were charged.
- Unclaimed check links refund on their own when they expire — see How to buy Telegram Stars.
