Our Customer Support Team currently is experiencing higher than average wait times due to an increase in tickets. The average wait time is between one and two weeks for the majority of people. This is not acceptable to us, and we are doing everything we can to address the delays, including adding more service staff to the team. Our support team is staffed 24/7 and is working hard to make sure everyone receives a response that is as fast, accurate, and thorough as possible. If you've submitted a ticket recently and have not received a reply, please know that we have not forgotten about you. We will make sure everyone receives a response.
