Model Example Answer

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my concern regarding the delayed delivery of goods I purchased from your company. On July 10th, I placed an order for a set of kitchen appliances, including a microwave oven, a blender, and a coffee maker. According to the purchase agreement, these items were supposed to be delivered within three days. However, it has now been seven days, and I have yet to receive the products.

I am quite disappointed with this delay, as it has disrupted my household routine significantly. I would appreciate it if you could provide an explanation for this unexpected delay and inform me of the current status of my order.

To resolve this matter, I kindly suggest that you expedite the delivery process and ensure that the goods reach me within the next two days. Additionally, I believe it would be fair to offer some form of compensation for the inconvenience caused, such as a discount on future purchases or a partial refund.

I trust you will address this issue promptly and ensure that such delays do not occur in the future. I look forward to your swift response.

Yours faithfully,
