Support Channels

Contact Gary

Our Customer Success Wrangler is available via two formally supported channels. Please review all options carefully before attempting contact.

✉️

Physical Mail

Supported · Tier 1

Gary accepts correspondence sent via the postal service to the facility address. Letters should be handwritten or printed and placed inside an envelope. Please do not send parcels containing food items, as Gerald has twice intercepted packages left at the gate.

Include your name, tier level, and a brief description of your enquiry. Gary will respond by post within 7–14 business days, or sooner if he gets around to it.

Mailing Address

Response SLA
7–14 business days
Extended to 21 days during calving season (March–May). Gary's handwriting is fine but the zip code he writes is sometimes illegible. This is a known issue.
Note: Do not address the letter to "ElkScale Support," "Customer Success," or "To Whom It May Concern." There is only Gary. He finds the formal salutations unsettling.

In Person

Supported · Tier 2

Gary holds a weekly office hour at his preferred venue, located 8.2 km due east of the elk farm. This is the only synchronous communication channel ElkScale offers. There is no video call option. There has never been a video call option. Please stop asking.

Gary will be seated at the bar unless it is busy, in which case he will be at the table nearest the fruit machine. He will be wearing a green fleece. He is always wearing a green fleece.

Venue The Rutting Node
Distance from farm 8.2 km due east
Day Every second Tuesday
Time 15:00 – 16:00 sharp
Dress code None (Gary's bar)
Parking On the verge, not the forecourt
About the Venue
The Rutting Node
A free house. Cash only. They have one IPA on tap and Gary drinks it. The pub sign depicts an elk at a desktop computer, which Gary commissioned himself for £40 in 2023. The Wi-Fi password is "gerald1" but the signal does not reach the bar.
Important: Office hours end at 16:00 precisely. Gary has a second pint at 16:00 and considers that personal time. Do not attempt to continue the conversation across this boundary. It has not gone well historically.

Ways you cannot contact Gary

📧

Email

Gary has an email address. He does not check it. The last email he opened was in 2021 and it was a Domino's voucher. He printed it out and used it.

📱

Phone / SMS

Gary's mobile number appears on some older booking confirmations. This was a mistake. He has requested it be removed. He will not answer.

💬

Live Chat

There is no live chat. The chat icon on our pricing page opens a mailto link that goes to Gary's email. See above.

🎫

Support Tickets

We trialled a ticketing system in Q2 2024. Gary found the notifications "distressing." The system was decommissioned after eleven days. All open tickets were closed as "resolved."

📞

Video Call

Gary does not own a webcam. Gary does not want a webcam. Gary has asked that this be stated clearly and prominently on the website. This is that statement.

🐦

Social Media

The @ElkScale account on X is managed by Gary's nephew Callum. Callum does not know anything about the elk. Do not DM him with operational questions.
