When to use it
Use when the order has progressed too far for the store to safely update the address.
Use the wording to gather complete information, explain order-status limits, and keep the next step clear.

Hi {{customer_first_name}},
Thanks for your message. We reviewed order {{order_number}}, and the address can no longer be changed through our normal support process because {{plain_reason}}.
You may still be able to check carrier options directly if tracking is available. We cannot promise carrier changes, but we wanted to explain the current order status clearly.
Best,
{{store_name}} Support
