We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to improve and expand our customer service and technical support departments. Part of this evolution is to return to a live chat system that provides a better personal customer experience.

The new live chat feature—which works seamlessly with an upgraded chatbot—will allow you to access both customer service (order enquiries, general enquiries) and technical support (hardware/software enquiries, troubleshooting) more efficiently. 

Forwarding queries to other team members is now possible, meaning that you can switch topics and reach the correct department within the same conversation.

The chat is downloadable/printable, which can be helpful for in-depth technical support tips or product consultation. 

During the initial roll-out of this feature, the operating times for both customer service and technical support queries are Monday to Friday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m (CEST). We’ll monitor the usage carefully and expand the opening times in the near future, with the plan to offer technical support chat during weekends too.

    There is no live chat option on the EU website, which is the site that without doubt needs it the most. I've emailed weeks ago, and not had a response to my missing order with no tracking that shows as completely shipped. This is the worst customer support I have ever encountered. For technical support or RMA's here in the UK you are excellent, but for after sales support absolutely terrible. I am literally being ignored after paying for my QR2 wheel slide. The delays on my Clubsport DD order are another story, and that at least had not been shipped, and is not yet lost. No tracking details and no response to customers asking where their purchases are though is unacceptable. There does not seem to be any accountability at all from Fanatec here in the forum.
