My issue was resolved, but reaching the right team took time
KuCoin's support team eventually resolved my issue. I had to explain the situation twice before my case reached the appropriate team. The final response was helpful and professional, but getting connected to the right team sooner would have made the overall support experience much better.

Follow-up support was clearer than the initial response
I reached out to KuCoin customer support with a question about my account. The initial response was quite general and directed me to several help pages, but the follow-up provided a clearer explanation of my issue. I would have preferred more specific guidance from the beginning, as that could have saved time and made the support experience more efficient.

I opened a support request with KuCoin and received a response within a reasonable time
I opened a support request with KuCoin and received a response within a reasonable time. The instructions were clear enough to solve the problem. I would still like better visibility into ticket status while waiting for a reply.

My experience with KuCoin customer support was average
My experience with KuCoin customer support was average. The agent was polite and the problem was resolved, but there was a noticeable wait between replies. A clearer expected response time would make the process less uncertain.
