DELIVERY EXPECTATIONS

Delays & SLA escalation

Understand common delay signals, how SLA escalation works, and the exact criteria for when a delivery is considered complete.

Normal delay signals

2FA or recovery methods need cleanup
Platform security checkpoints or verification delays
Timezone differences between buyer and seller
Missing access credentials or incomplete handover prep
Complex ownership transfers (Brand accounts, Pages, Groups)

SLA escalation

Typical delivery window
1–48 hours

Most trades complete within this window when both parties stay responsive during handover.

If it exceeds 48h
  • If delivery exceeds 48 hours, we automatically escalate to priority handling
  • Our team investigates delays, contacts the seller, and provides hourly updates
  • You may request a refund if the delay is due to seller issues

Delivered criteria

  1. 1You have full account control and admin access
  2. 2All seller recovery methods are removed
  3. 3You can change password and security settings
  4. 4Our verification team confirms successful handover
