Template 4. Message for cancelling order (out of stock or for any other reason)

Hi [Buyer name]

Thank you for purchasing from my store.

I’m sorry to let you know but when we were processing your order we found a defect in your product and we didn’t want to send you a defective item.

This is why I had to refund your payment.

In the meantime, please don’t order this item again until I have all the answers from the manufacturer as it was sent for further inspection. If you decide not to repurchase then I understand.

Again, I’m very sorry about this situation and I hope you accept my apology.

As I consider your satisfaction as my top priority, the feedback you provide means a lot to me.

Please let me know if there are any other issues I can help you with.

Thanks, [Your name]

I appreciate the inconvenience this could cause you so I’d like to know the best way to compensate you.

What do you think? Would you prefer me to cancel the order?

Or alternatively I could sell you another version of this item at a much cheaper price and I’ll give you a refund for the difference.
