Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for processing an order, comprising: receiving at an order processing system an order-commencement communication from a networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device, wherein: responsive to the order-commencement communication, transmitting a signal to commence processing the order for goods, wherein the order-commencement communication is transmitted when the networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device determines that an arrival estimate for a user of the networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device substantially coincides with an order completion estimate for the order for goods; wherein the arrival estimate is for when the user associated with the order is expected to arrive at the provider location where the goods are to be collected; and wherein the arrival estimate is calculated by the networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device whereby the order processing system does not have to calculate the arrival estimate to thereby distribute processing load away from the order processing system to the networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device.
