Free Shopify damaged item templates

Damaged item email templates for replacement review, refund paths, and return instructions.

Use this hub when a customer reports a damaged product, wrong item, broken packaging, or possible replacement request. Each linked tool helps you draft a careful reply that asks for the right information, explains the review path, and stays aligned with your real return policy.

This page is a free self-serve resource hub. It does not collect payment, request checkout links, sell custom support work, process claims, approve replacements, or guarantee refunds.

Ask for enough detail without sounding defensive

A good damaged-item reply acknowledges the issue, asks for useful documentation, explains the policy-based review path, and gives the customer a clear next step.

Keep replacement wording safe

Do not promise a refund, exchange, or replacement before eligibility is confirmed.
Keep documentation requests relevant and avoid unnecessary sensitive information.
Point to your return, refund, warranty, or support policy when eligibility matters.
