as made

The following sentence appeared in a mail order form:

We do our best to fill each order as made.

I am not sure what "as made" means. Can anyone help?

To me, it's not a common AmE expression. I think it refers to the process of submitting an order, or more accurately, of composing an order. That is, we try to give you exactly what you are asking for.

  • (the way your order was "made") It's also possible they mean something like, "We try to fill requests in the order in which they were received," OR, " - as soon as we receive them," but that would be a very bad way of putting it.
  • Sounds to me like a really bad translation of something.

"Make an order" is often used for "place an order". So I believe the meaning is Avangi's second option.A few words are left out....
We do our best to fill each order as soon as it is made.
