Try:
Thank you for your follow up on _______. There has been a slight delay of the shipment of ________. It will arrive one or two days later than previously planned. The vessel (ship?) will arrive at HKG on June 15 and will be ready for loading on June 17.

Why will it take two days to prepare it for loading?

Hi RonBee,

Why will it take two days to prepare it for loading?

Then (as in Takezo's post):
The ___________ (the item to be picked up) will be ready for pick up on June 17th.
I can't tell from your original post what the reason for the delay is.





(Don't add an additional "Thanks" at the end of the message. The point is information, not thanks.)
