Email support from Colombo

Email is where customers send the problems that need a proper answer: a parcel that never arrived, a double charge, a refund that has not appeared. Our email support team works these tickets in your help desk or shared inbox, under your brand name, following your refund and returns rules. Because our Colombo office is open 24/7, emails that land overnight are answered overnight, and your own team starts the day with a clear queue instead of a backlog.

How we work

Templates alone do not solve tickets. Agents learn your products, systems and policies before they go live, and work from saved replies we write with you and personalise on every ticket. Each reply must answer every question in the customer's email, so they do not have to write back. Anything that needs your decision, such as a goodwill refund above an agreed limit, is passed to your team with a short summary and the full history.

Good to know

Team leads score a sample of tickets for accuracy, tone, grammar and policy, and coach agents on what they find. Your report shows volumes, response and resolution times against the targets we agree, the top reasons customers wrote in, and the fixes that would stop repeat emails, such as a confusing delivery page or a missing size chart. Saved replies are updated whenever your policies or products change.

What is included

  • Order and delivery queries

    Where is my order, late parcels, wrong items and address changes, checked against your order system before anyone replies.

  • Returns, refunds and exchanges

    Return labels, refund status and exchange requests handled to your policy, with exceptions sent to you for approval.

  • Billing and account help

    Duplicate charges, invoices, subscription changes, password resets and account updates, in the tools you give us access to.

  • Tagging and priority routing

    Every ticket tagged by reason and urgency, so urgent cases jump the queue and your reports show why people write in.

  • Escalations with full notes

    Cases that need your team arrive with a short summary, what we have already checked and what the customer is asking for.

  • Backlog clearing

    Spam, duplicates and auto-replies cleared out, and any old backlog worked down oldest first when you hand over the inbox.

How we set it up

  1. Map your inbox

    We review a sample of recent tickets with you, list the contact reasons and agree policies, tone and response targets.

  2. Train on your products

    Agents learn your products, systems and refund rules, then practise on real past tickets before answering live ones.

  3. Answer and check

    Live replies begin, with team leads reviewing early tickets closely and scoring a regular sample for accuracy and tone.

  4. Report and improve

    You get volumes, response times and top contact reasons, plus suggested fixes and refreshed saved replies.

Questions about email support

Open 24/7

Can your email support team work in our own help desk?

Yes. Our email support agents normally work as users in the help desk you already run, such as Zendesk, Freshdesk, Gorgias, HubSpot or a shared Gmail or Outlook inbox. Working in your system keeps every conversation, tag and customer record in an account you own. If you do not have a help desk yet, we can suggest a simple set-up that fits your volume and budget.

How quickly does your email support team reply to customers?

We agree response targets with you before launch, set by ticket type and priority, so a failed payment or missing delivery is answered ahead of a general product question. Because our Colombo office is open 24/7, the queue keeps moving at night and over weekends, and every report shows how replies tracked against those targets, with reasons for any misses.

Which languages does your email support cover?

Our agents write in English and Tamil, and we have Sinhala speakers on the team, so one email support desk can serve customers in Sri Lanka and in English-speaking markets abroad. Each reply is written in the customer's language, follows your tone guide and goes through the same quality checks as every other ticket. Tell us your language mix and we will plan the team around it.

What do you need from us to start email support?

Access to your help desk or inbox, your refund, returns and escalation policies, product information, and a sample of recent tickets with replies you are happy with. From those we draft saved replies and a short tone guide for your approval. We also agree who on your side takes escalations and how quickly, so cases waiting on a decision are not left sitting in the queue.
