Contact
One mailbox, answered on business days.
Delay Review has no contact form, no telephone line and no premises open to visitors. Every request is handled by email.
Response times
The mailbox is monitored Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00 (BRT, UTC−3). Messages are answered within two business days. Messages arriving at weekends or on Brazilian public holidays are answered on the next business day.
What to include
A message is answered faster when it contains enough to act on without a second exchange:
- For a refund or purchase question: the email address used at checkout, the approximate date of the transaction, and the order or transaction reference if one was issued.
- For a correction: the article title, the passage in question, and the source that contradicts it.
- For a data request: the email address the request concerns, and which right is being exercised.
- For a question about sources: the article title and the specific claim.
Common requests
- Refunds. Handled under the refund policy. A request within the stated window does not need a reason.
- Corrections. Handled under the correction policy set out on the about page.
- Data access, correction or deletion. Handled under the privacy policy.
- Permission to quote or translate. Considered case by case; see the terms of use.
- Reporting a technical fault. The page address and the browser used are enough to start.
Requests that are declined
Some messages are answered with a short note explaining that the request falls outside what this publication does:
- Questions about a reader's own circumstances, or requests for an opinion on an individual situation. Delay Review reviews no individual cases.
- Requests for consultation, coaching, assessment or referral.
- Requests for clinical or medical guidance of any kind.
- Offers of sponsorship, paid placement, guest posts or link exchanges.
- Requests to publish a reader account or review. The publication does not carry them.
This mailbox is not a crisis or emergency service and is not monitored continuously. Anyone facing an emergency should contact local emergency services or a local crisis line directly. In Brazil, the CVV operates a 24-hour line on 188. Elsewhere, the local emergency number applies.
