Timing
The same words sent on day one and on day nine are not the same message. This page is about when rather than what, because timing is the half people get wrong while writing the sentence perfectly.
What timing communicates
A message sent immediately says the writer is anxious. A message sent after a stated period has passed says the writer is keeping track. Neither of those is a claim you make in words, and both are read before your first sentence is.
This matters most in the two places where somebody is deciding what kind of person you are: the first contact with a vendor, and the opening of a dispute. In both, being early is expensive and being on time is free.
The second message problem
The most common timing failure is not sending too early. It is sending again. A follow up written two days after an unanswered message almost always says something the first one did not, usually something worse, and it resets the reader's impression to whatever the second message contains.
| Situation | The instinct | What it actually does |
|---|---|---|
| No reply after a day | Send it again in case it was missed | Two unanswered messages instead of one, and the tone of the second is now the record |
| No reply after a week | Send a longer version | Length is read as escalation, and escalation early is read as unreliability |
| A short unhelpful reply | Reply immediately, at length | Turns a thin exchange into an argument with a transcript |
| No reply after a stated window | One dated message noting the window and asking one thing | Reads as somebody keeping records, which is the impression you want |
If you have to write twice, the second message should be shorter than the first and should reference the date of it. Nothing else. A follow up that repeats the content of the first message is asking to be ignored twice.
Deciding a wait in advance
The reliable trick is to decide the waiting period before you need it, when nothing has gone wrong and you are calm. Write it in the note covered on writing to yourself: what you expect, by when, and what you will do if it has not happened. Then when the date arrives you are executing a decision rather than making one while upset.
Why there are no day counts here
This site cannot give you real numbers. Dispatch times, transit times and dispute windows vary between markets, vendors, routes and weeks, and anybody publishing a firm figure for them is guessing. Use whatever the listing or the vendor stated, and if nothing was stated, that absence is itself worth writing down.
Timing a refusal
Refusals are the exception to everything above. A refusal should be immediate and it should never be repeated with variation. Refusing to release funds early covers the sympathetic version of the pressure, which is the one people take a day to think about, and thinking about it is how it works.
Timing silence
Not replying is a timed message too. Leaving something unanswered for a day and leaving it unanswered permanently mean different things to whoever sent it. Wording nothing at all covers choosing that deliberately instead of arriving at it by avoidance.
