Warm welcome
Hi customer name, thanks for reaching out to store name - I am agent name, and I am here to help you get this sorted quickly.
Find the order
To pull up the details, can you share your order number? If you do not have it handy, the email on the order works just as well and I will find it for you.
Confirm what you need
Got it, I can see your order now. Let me make sure I understand what you need today so I take you straight to the fix, not the long way around.
Set expectations
Here is how this will go, customer name: I will look into order number, tell you exactly what I find, and lay out your options in plain language. Give me one second while I open it up.
2. Where is my order
When to useUse it for any delivery or tracking question.
Reassure first
I completely understand wanting to know where it is, customer name - waiting on a package is no fun. Let us track it down together right now.
Check the status
Looking at order number, I can see it shipped and it is moving. Your tracking number shows it in transit, with an estimated delivery date that I will confirm out loud so we are certain.
Explain any delay honestly
If the carrier is running behind, I will tell you straight rather than give a vague someday. I would rather you have the real picture than a comfortable guess.
Give a safety net
Here is my promise, customer name: I will email you the tracking number and watch this order myself. If it has not arrived by delivery date, reach back and I will make it right, no runaround.
3. Damaged or wrong item
When to useUse it whenever a product arrives damaged or wrong.
Apologize plainly
I am really sorry, customer name - opening your box and finding a problem with item name is not the experience we want for you at all.
Get the details
So I can fix it fast, can you tell me what is wrong with item name - is it damaged, or the wrong thing entirely? A quick photo helps, but only if it is easy for you.
Fix it, do not investigate
You do not need to prove anything to me. On order number I can send a correct replacement or refund you - whichever you prefer - and you keep or recycle the wrong one.
Confirm the resolution
Here is my next step, customer name: I will process the replacement for item name today and email tracking as soon as it ships. You should not be out of pocket or out of patience for our mistake.

Confirm eligibility
Looking at order number, item name is well within the return window, so you are all set. I will note the reason simply so it does not slow anything down.
Explain the mechanics
I am emailing you a prepaid return label now. Once the item is scanned by the carrier, your refund of refund amount goes back to your original payment method - usually a few business days.
Set expectations clearly
So there are no surprises, customer name: drop it off whenever suits you, and the refund amount lands automatically once it is on its way back. Want me to also check that another size or color is in stock?
5. Upset shopper de-escalation
When to useUse it the instant you sense real frustration.
Validate the frustration
You have every right to be annoyed, customer name, and I am sorry. issue on top of a wait is exactly the kind of thing that wears a person down.
Take ownership
I am not going to pass you around or blame the warehouse. This is mine to fix, and I am going to stay with you on order number until it is genuinely resolved.
Move to a solution
Here is what I can do right now to put issue right - let me lay out the options so you feel back in control, rather than me deciding for you.
Rebuild goodwill
And because your time matters, customer name, I would like to add a goodwill gesture to your account. It does not erase the hassle, but it is a genuine sorry from us, not a scripted one.
6. Escalation and handoff
When to useUse it when the fix is above your authority.
Be upfront
customer name, I want you to get the best outcome, and for that I am looping in supervisor name, who can approve options I cannot. That is me fighting your corner, not dodging.
Hand off with context
I have written up the whole thing - your details, the issue, and everything we have already tried - so supervisor name starts fully briefed and you never repeat yourself.
Give a reference
Your case number is case number. Keep it handy - it pulls up this exact conversation with anyone on the team, so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.
Confirm the follow-through
supervisor name will be in touch within one business day, and I will personally confirm it happened. You have my word, customer name - the issue gets closed properly, not quietly forgotten.
