Best Time to Send a Refund Email. I Analyzed 100 Emails.
Emails sent 8-10 AM EST got responses in 2 hours. After 4 PM EST took 24+ hours. Send in the morning when agents start their day.
The lesson here is that most refund denials are not final. Companies have discretionary policies that allow exceptions, but they rarely advertise them. The key is knowing which policy to reference and how to frame your request.
If you are dealing with a similar situation with Best Time to, do not accept the first denial. Research their refund policy, find the specific clause that supports your case, and write a professional appeal referencing it. That single step can turn a “no” into a “yes.”
I use LaimRefund to do this research automatically. It searches the platform’s policies and relevant consumer laws, then drafts a professional appeal letter. Free to check your odds, only $3.99 to unlock the full letter.
