| Details / precisions | I think I may have made the foolish mistake of ordering fishing bivvy from these guys but info I have received via email i.e tracking number is a bit strange and there is no link to follow up tracking, just a website www.718.us/en Shows as from china to united kingdom. Any advice?

You can try to cancel it and contact them; if they don't respond, then go talk to your bank or credit card company and try to get the transactions cancelled/disputed.
These online shops advertising unrealistically cheap prices on social media/ads are usually questionable shell companies or drop-shipping sites. These businesses are often newly created, source goods from platforms like Alibaba, and may sell counterfeit or unsafe products with poor customer service and shipping delays. When shopping online, buy from known legitimate shop sites with actual buyer protection.
Here'd the domain info - yeah, you're getting *something* from China, maybe.

You could wait and see but don't be surprised if you get something totally different or nothing at all. These shops/shell companies are notorious for taking weeks to actually ship and have poor customer support.
