An update on your order order number

Email

Hi customer name,

Thanks for checking in on order order number. Here is exactly where things stand: your order is order status, and you can expect it to arrive within delivery window.

You can follow every step of the journey here: tracking link. If the tracking looks stuck for more than a day, that is usually just a scan delay, but let me know and I will chase the carrier for you.

I know waiting for a parcel can be a little nerve-wracking, so if anything looks off when it arrives, reply straight to this email and I will sort it out quickly.

Thanks for shopping with us,

your name, company name

A quick issue with item name from order order number

Email

Hi customer name,

I am sorry about this. The item name you ordered has just sold out, and I would rather tell you straight away than leave you waiting on a parcel that is not coming.

Here are your options, whichever suits you best:

• Wait for it: we expect a restock around restock date and can hold your order.
• Swap it: alternative is very similar and ready to ship today.
• Refund it: I can send your money back in full, no questions asked.

Just reply with the word wait, swap, or refund, and I will take care of the rest within the hour.

Sorry again for the hiccup,

your name, company name
