Ihrer eMail kommen. Ich werde aber natürlich alles daran setzen um Ihre

Here's your translation:
"Thank you very much for your mail. Unfortunately, due to increased workload, you may encounter a small delay in replying to your mail. I will however try to work on your email as soon as possible.

Dispatch of already paid goods will continue without delays."

That's noting but an auto-responder, like an out-of-office-reply, telling you not to wait for an email answer.
