One of the biggest frustrations with support is not knowing what a status means or how long to wait.
On Kingston Express, support follows clear stages and expected response windows depending on the issue type and urgency.

This guide explains:

  • Typical response times
  • Why some cases take longer
  • How Dispatched by Kingston Express affects priority

Why Response Time Expectations Matter #

Knowing timelines helps users:
✔ Avoid repeated follow-ups
✔ Stay calm during reviews
✔ Understand when escalation is appropriate

📌 Waiting does not mean being ignored.

Response times vary by issue type:

  • General inquiries: usually within 24–48 hours
  • Order & delivery issues: often faster due to time sensitivity
  • Disputes & chargebacks: longer due to review requirements
  • Account & security issues: prioritized due to risk

📌 Complexity affects speed.

  • Before stated timelines

📌 Premature follow-ups reset queues.
