  • How long should I wait?

    This may seem like a strange question but how long would you wait for a response to an e mail?
    I posted to an archive site asking for costs for something they have in their collection. I only needed to know what it would cost for copies and postage of a specific item and how they would like me to pay. It has been over a week now and I didn't get an automated response either. Should I mail again or should I give it a bit longer?

    Maybe I am just impatient ....perhaps they don't understand about brick walls and breakthroughs....

    Are you confident that an auto-response hasn't been caught in a spam-trap? The kind of thing that you get in an auto-response is often what spam-traps look for.

    Otherwise, I think I might try again - a resend, with a covering comment that, because you've had no feedback at all, you aren't convinced that the original message reached them.
