Cultural Tip
In Brazil, most e‑commerce sites provide a ‘track order’ (rastrear pedido) feature that can be accessed from a user’s account page. The word ‘online’ is widely accepted, but in more formal writing you might see ‘pela internet’ or ‘na web’. When speaking with a representative, a friendly tone is appreciated; adding a ‘por favor’ before the question makes it even more courteous.
