Copy-ready template
Hi {{customer_first_name}},
I understand one item from order {{order_number}} may be missing. Some orders can ship in separate packages, so please check your shipping emails and tracking links for any additional shipment information.
If no separate shipment is shown, reply with the missing item name and photos of what arrived so support can explain the next step under our store policy.
Best,
{{store_name}} Support
