Long ticket handling times

Is there a reason behind the high ticket reply times experienced over the past few weeks. I've just looked on the support stats part of the member centre and found that the target is 24hours, yet the average ticket closure time is 1 day, 15 hours and 48 minutes. That's over half as much again as the original target.

Re: Long ticket handling times

Yes, too many customers , not enough staff to keep tickets and phone response times  down to an acceptable level.
Should improve soon tho, (so we are told).

That's weekends I'm afraid - the support guys only work Mon-Fri so if you raise a ticket on Fri, you'll be lucky to get a reply before Tuesday.

The main CSC who handle calls and tickets work 24/7, there are some departments who handle specific tickets who don't work 24/7. You're confusing it with the DC team who monitor these forums ( which are not an official support channel ) who only work Mon-Fri 9-5.

Apologies, I stand corrected. I've never had a reply to a ticket on a weekend, and if I place it on a Thurs/Fri the reply normally takes until the beginning of the next week at the earliest.

Re: Long ticket handling times

Tickets are taking a VERY long time for a response these days!
I can remember the good old days when a 4 he response was typical.

I'm guessing this isn't on your normal account as there are no tickets on there from that date.

Thanks Chris, perhaps I should have mentioned it was on my Waitrose email account!  Embarrassed

Re: Long ticket handling times

I'm finding serious delays in getting any reply or resolution to tickets...
Original ticked raised 11th December, then conveniently lost over Christmas (not sorted by that point).
Raised new ticked 10th January, still not actioned as requested despite my comments on the 13th, 15th and again today.
I have been a long time customer of Plus.Net but the response times and general service seems to have taken a serious turn for the worse...
