Paste-ready support reply
Subject: International shipping and customs update
Hi {{customer_first_name}},
International orders can be delayed by customs checks that are outside the store and carrier control. The latest tracking status is the latest carrier scan shown on the tracking page.
Customs fees, taxes, or import requirements may depend on the destination country. Please check the carrier notice and local import rules.
For reference, the relevant policy page is: {{policy_link}}
Thanks,
{{store_name}} Support
Before sending
- Replace placeholders with true order, tracking, policy, or product details.
- Only promise what your policy and operational status support.
- Link the customer to the exact policy page when returns, refunds, subscriptions, privacy, or delivery timing is involved.
- Remove any sentence that suggests Shopify endorses the message or store.
Plain boundary: Starter Fix Sprint is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Shopify.
