1 min read

(Support & Escalation โ€“ Seller & Buyer Guide)

Support teams can resolve issues much faster when requests are clear, complete, and correctly submitted.
On Kingston Express, most delays happen not because support is slow, but because critical information is missing or unclear.

This guide shows you:

  • What to include in every support request
  • How to structure your message
  • What NOT to do
  • How Dispatched by Kingston Express affects support handling

Why Request Quality Matters #

A good request:
โœ” Reaches the right team faster
โœ” Reduces back-and-forth questions
โœ” Prevents unnecessary escalation
โœ” Resolves issues in fewer steps

๐Ÿ“Œ Support works best with clarity.


Step 1๏ธโƒฃ Choose the Correct Issue Category #

Always select the category that best matches your issue:

  • Orders & delivery
  • Returns & refunds
  • Disputes or chargebacks
  • Account & security
  • Dispatchment issues

๐Ÿ“ฆ Dispatchment-related issues are routed differently due to verified records.


Step 2๏ธโƒฃ Include the Essential Details (Non-Negotiable) #

https://forum.paperpile.com/uploads/default/original/1X/1a4fef95ff31e7cf98af52ae8a3370816dcf3926.png

Every effective support request should include:
โœ” Order number(s)
โœ” Username or store name
โœ” Clear description of the issue
โœ” Current status (if any)

๐Ÿ“Œ Missing basics = delayed resolution.


Step 3๏ธโƒฃ Explain the Issue Clearly (Short & Factual) #

Use this structure:

  • What happened
  • When it happened
  • What you expected
  • What seems wrong

โœ” Stick to facts
โœ” Use simple language

โŒ Avoid:

  • Long stories
  • Emotional language
  • Accusations

Step 4๏ธโƒฃ Attach Only Relevant Evidence #

https://res.cloudinary.com/dn1j6dpd7/image/upload/v1684403474/hd-help/helpdesk_attachments_icon.png

Attach evidence only if it:

  • Directly relates to the issue
  • Is clear and readable
  • Supports your claim

Examples:

  • Screenshots of errors
  • Delivery confirmation (if seller-managed)
  • Incorrect listing screenshots

๐Ÿ“ฆ For Dispatched by Kingston Express orders, many records are already available.
