How the estimate works
A useful shipment update states the reference, audience, current location, current status, reason for delay if any, action being taken and the next expected update time.
Planning example
Example only: a clear update should state the shipment reference, current status, delay reason, action being taken and the next expected update time without promising an unconfirmed delivery date.
Planning assumptions to review
- Sending an update before confirming the current status
- Leaving out the next expected update time
- Using a tone that is too casual for the audience
- Promising delivery dates that have not been confirmed
