A case number is a unique reference used to track a specific issue, request, or support conversation on Kingston Express.

It helps our support team quickly find your issue and provide accurate help.

A case number (sometimes called a ticket number) is created when you:

  • Contact support
  • Report an order issue
  • Open a dispute
  • Request a refund or return
  • Submit an account or payment issue

📌 It is NOT the same as an order number, but they are often linked.
