I have to say that Gary’s response behavior has been really strange lately. On WhatsApp, messages are usually delivered only after about 24 hours, or sometimes they just stay on a single checkmark. His replies now take unusually long for his standards, even during the week. It’s normal that they don’t respond on weekends, but for the past few days you’ve had to wait a very long time for a reply during the week as well — usually more than 24 hours, which is not typical for him.
I have no idea if this is related to the Black Friday sale hitting so hard that he’s overwhelmed with messages. It did say earlier that he had to replace his phone, but that still doesn’t explain why messages stay on a single checkmark. I don’t want to make any accusations or jump to conclusions; I just want to point out that there are currently some strange signs. But honestly, it’s not a reason to panic. As I said, I’m more inclined to think the Black Friday sale simply overloaded him. Because even though I receive late replies, I still get normal responses from him — including information about shipments, flight number status, and all of that. Still, it leaves a weird feeling.
