Important Notes

Checking the status of orders is not currently rate limited, but is subject to reasonable fair use limits. The status of an order is unlikely to change more than once a day. Orders are dispatched by 8pm BST Monday to Friday, so we would recommend checking the status of an order after this time and caching the results for 24 hours. Once an order reaches the ‘Dispatched’ status, the status will not change from this point so should not be queried again.
