    A customer from England have brought some products from our company new website .
    The first time he placed the order and didn't do the payment. then i wrote an email to ask him "His the first customer placing an order of my site. Glad that he have lot of interests to some products on my site. I sincerely hope the transaction can be concluded." then he made the payment to my paypal.
    but now the pity thing is that there is only one product being out of work. i have wrote two emails to the customer to ask " would he mind choosing a new one to replace and hope he can give me a response,but he didn't do nothing. and give me a back email."
    i very very expect i can do this order success. i am from china,so english is not very good.i want to write an email again. how should i write? thank you.

    I'm having a problem following this.

    So, the customer ordered some products and either:

    • One of them is faulty, so you want him to select a replacement? Did it arrive faulty, or you realised it's faulty?
    • Or by "out of work", do you mean "out of stock" so you want the customer to select a comparable alternative?
    How long have you been waiting for a reply for? Keep in mind it's a weekend. Have they requested a refund?
    How to write one depends upon circumstances. Once you have explained a bit more, I'll try to help.
    I suggest when you have some good examples, keep them as templates. You can easily then replace things such as <goods>, <price>, <order value>, <customer name>, <order number> and so on.

    Write it this way: "We regret that we are *temporarily* out of stock on the 2nd item. Please choose a suitable replacement from the other items we have, and we will be happy to provide it at the same or lower price. Thank you very much for your patience."

    Four days and three emails. Well, you can't count Saturday and Sunday, as he might be busy having a life and not checking email (especially if it's business-related). So, wait to see if you get a reply on Monday. If not, compose a nice email (something like what Diva wrote). Start off with something like:

    Something like that. A small discount for inconvenience, but to keep the customer, is good (hopefully they will repeat). That's up to you though.

    Good luck.

    Yes, a phone call might be a good idea now as it's possible that the emails might have been picked up as spam.

    "Hello, sir. My name is <name> and I am calling from <company>. I am calling regarding your order for <item>, in case my emails weren't received. Unfortunately, the item is out of stock, but we can offer <x, y or z> as an alternative. How would you like to proceed?"
