They do respond, although sometimes not as quickly as I'd like. If I don't get a response I generally follow up - I don't think I've ever had to nudge more than one additional time. I think I just e-mail to the support address rather than going through another ticket cycle.
If you asked something that required some policy decision, perhaps that would take longer than something the first line staff could handle directly.
They have a fax number, but I don't think they publish their phone info. Ages ago I remember getting a call from them about something related to taxes, but I think it's a "don't call us, we'll call you" sort of arrangement
