FAQ

Q: What if the business has a 'no-refund' policy for appointments?
A: Politely state why the policy shouldn't apply (e.g., provider cancellation, double-booking error) and ask for a goodwill exception or credit.

Q: How long should I wait before sending a follow-up email?
A: Wait 5-7 business days for an initial response. For a follow-up, reference your original email date and request a specific timeline.
