Resolving Proxy Purchase and Delivery Issues

Updated over 2 months ago

Overview

When purchasing proxies, you may occasionally experience issues such as:
Delayed delivery
"Out of stock" messages
Internal server errors

This comprehensive guide explains why these issues occur and provides step-by-step solutions to ensure you receive the proxies you've purchased.


Understanding Common Proxy Issues

1️⃣ Delayed Delivery

After purchasing proxies, delivery is typically instant. However, delays may occur due to:
Backend system verification
High order volume
Payment processing delays
Temporary stock limitations


2️⃣ "Out of Stock" Messages

When proxies appear available but show as "out of stock" after payment, this usually means:
Displayed inventory hasn't updated in real-time
Your payment was processed successfully
Your order has been placed in a queue for fulfillment

📌 What to Expect: As soon as stock becomes available, pending orders are fulfilled automatically.


3️⃣ Internal Server Errors

Some customers may encounter an "Internal Server Error" when accessing their orders.
This issue may prevent proxies from appearing in your account, even after successful payment.


How Your Order is Processed

📌 Step-by-Step Order Flow:
1️⃣ Payment Processing – Your payment is processed immediately upon purchase.
2️⃣ Order Status – Your invoice status will show "Awaiting Delivery" if proxies are being prepared.
3️⃣ Queue Management – If stock is limited, your order is placed in a fulfillment queue.
4️⃣ Automatic Fulfillment – Once proxies become available, orders are fulfilled in sequence.
5️⃣ Status Update – Your invoice will change to "Paid", and proxies will appear in your account.
