Free delivery exception support template

Weather delay delivery exception template

Explain weather-related delivery delays without overpromising a new date.

This is a free wording template. It does not process payments, contact carriers, redirect packages, issue refunds, or promise delivery outcomes.

When to use it

Use when carrier tracking or public carrier status points to weather disruption.

Use the wording to explain what the tracking page says, where to check next, and what support can do under policy.

Subject line

Weather-related delivery update

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

Copy-ready template

Hi {{customer_first_name}}, The tracking status for order {{order_number}} may be affected by a weather-related carrier delay. Delivery timing can change while the carrier works through the disruption. Please follow the carrier tracking page for the latest scan. We will also help explain store policy options if the package status remains unresolved. Best, {{store_name}} Support
