Mrs H: Yes, give me the name of the person who will contact me
Mrs H: You don't have automated email for that... That's a pretty big fail...
Mrs H: At least give me the name of the relevant department...
S: Its the higher level.
Mrs H: HIGHER LEVEL? Sounds like something out of Monty Python...
S: Mrs H, I understand your concern, however the relevant department is the next higher level of support once we forward this complaint they will work on the case and get back to you with the resolution.
Mrs H: How do I know this?
S: You will be able to locate the case number under your Adobe account , once we end the chat.

Sorry... This forum is to discuss how the forums operate, not specific products... and not sales
I really don't know where you should ask your questions
You might try this Email address for feedback adbecare@adobe.com
-or address in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1114052

I learnt this subsequently but Adobe are virtually uncontactable so your suggestions are helpful.

I'm having a really similar issue. Why are they so difficult to contact? I am just trying to discuss a case with them which would lead to probably thousands of pounds worth of business for them, and I can't get anyone to speak to me about it! I've tried email, online chat, even PMing a staff member via the forums - they either ignore it or miss the point, and NOW my emails are bouncing back from the address adobecustomerservice@adobe.com. The online rep today said the reason for this was that I was sending the emails from an IE browser - even though they had been fine from that browser before! Words are startignt o fail me, frankly...

That might be because the address should be adbecare@adobe.com -- it's easy to see an extra "o" that isn't there at the begining and add it to the address by mistake -- not a very good address choice in my opinion.
This has been pushed up the internal moderators' chain for action by the appropriate staff. I can't promise it will help, but hopefully somebody will pick up the ball.

That's the bizarre thing - I got at least two replies from the adobecustomerservice@adobe.com address before my emails began bouncing back! When I told the online chat advisor, she informed me that 'emails don't usually work from an IE browser' (which is news to me, especially since the previous two had been sent through it) and that I should use an alternative browser. Tried Google Chrome and guess what? Emails still bounced back!
I saw the adbecare address and have tried it too - quite frankly the whole thing is mad. Thanks for replying though š

This forum is regularly checked by Adobe staff, so there is a good chance that someone may look into this. But most likely after the weekend is over in the US.
