"2 Business Days"

Postby LITT » Tue Jul 03, 2018 2:49 pm

I have been playing a frustrating game of email tag (really just unidirectional kvetching) with regards to customer service with a retailer we frequent.
they told me a response would be 2 business days (after a few other comments).

this was on thursday june 28 and 11:55AM. My question is, what constitutes two business days for you in this example?

Monday beginning of business day?
Monday at 11:55 AM?
Tuesday beginning of business day?
Wednesday beginning of business day?

I tried to contact them today and they said '2 business days'

Agreed... some time Monday. Especially since it's a response, not that they're trying to ship something to you.

same here, although I voted first thing Tuesday AM.

You're already giving them a half at 11:55 AM, so giving them Friday and Monday would more than cover the two business days.

It's a holiday week with the holiday on Wednesday. Their next business day might not be until the 9th.

Notwithstanding that, I would say EOD yesterday.

Be this as it may, the onus is on them to clarify this.
