As shown in last example of pluralize, you can try

Your item{{ items|length|pluralize:" is,s are" }}
currently being processed and will ship soon.

Use the pluralize with alternative suffix argument.

<p>
    Your item{{ items|length|pluralize }}
    {{ items|length|pluralize:"is,are" }}
    currently being processed and will ship soon.
</p>
