First, I apologize and politely explain the reasons for the delays, sometimes the delay is uncontrollable due some transportation customs or manufacturer and fabrication issues ..he also can expedite with source in order to clear this matter

First, apologize to the customer and let him/her know the situation. Listen to what customer will say and then offer a solution for the delay by adding a value to the product or service he ordered.

A real solution for such problem is by looking for the causes of the delay and fix them. I have to deliver more than the expected value that the customers are expecting from me. on time or before is one of the most important ingredients of the value that the customers buy from you for. we are in the era of speed my dear.

This is why every customer service person should use the heart to build trusted relationship rather HEAD to build commercial relationship where slip will be viewed as commercial point of view. Trusted relationship will allow tolerance; appreciate transparency and ground reality, when dateline is not feasible.

First of all I will try to fulfill the order on time. But still if it gets delayed for some reasons, I will try to explain the reasons of delay to the customer. If he is an existing or an  old customer he will agree and get convinced.

If the customer is the first time customer there are chances that he may think negatively about the service our company. But there are also chances that the customer understands the reasons of delay.

To top it all delay should be for genuine reason not due to the laziness of employees.
