Issues that need photos or documents, non-urgent disputes, or accessibility-related accommodations.
Write a clear email
Subject = one-line summary. Body = order number, dates, what happened, what you want. Attach photos.
Following up
If you do not hear back in 48 hours, reply on the same thread rather than starting a new email.
Frequently asked questions
Is the response auto-generated?
The initial confirmation often is. A human follows up within 1-2 business days.
Can I attach a video?
