Support Example from Aweber
But what they've done might be a good example that perhaps some can learn from. They listed the local time in their office right on the contact us page.
It's sometimes hard to remember (or even know) the time differences with people we buy from.
The perceived lack of support/responsiveness probably contributes to refunds and bad feelings.
So while every support/contact page should say when the user can expect an answer, you may want to add more information such as the local time.
You could also have messages that, at the appropriate times, inform/remind your user that today is a national holiday and you are celebrating it with your family but you'll be back tomorrow or that it is the weekend and you will be back to work on Monday morning or you are out of town with limited email contact but will be back to full form on May 16th.
