Free defective item support template

Troubleshooting boundary email template

Offer a simple safe checkpoint while avoiding technical or safety advice.

This is a free wording template. It does not process payments, inspect products, confirm defects, provide legal or safety advice, issue refunds, replace items, repair items, or promise outcomes.

When to use it

Use when support can ask for basic information but should avoid risky repair instructions.

Use the wording to collect details, clarify the product issue, and keep policy boundaries clear.

Subject line

Product issue details needed

Adapt for Shopify email, a help desk macro, or a manual support reply.

Copy-ready template

Hi {{customer_first_name}}, Thanks for the details about order {{order_number}}. Before support can explain the next step, please confirm the product name, the issue you noticed, and whether you followed the included setup or care instructions. For safety, please stop using the item if you believe continued use could cause damage or injury. Support can then explain the options available under our policy. Best, {{store_name}} Support
