IS this too long to reply to an email

Lucky me, slight problem with my medical. My DAME said not a problem when I renewed back in October. My DAME complimenting me on my weight loss, reduction in Cholesterol, renewed my medical with the 2 month limitation.

Just before Christmas I got a letter from AVMED requesting more information on my health.

Got said information...sent to AVMED. Called several times, went to voicemail. Sent an email Dec 23rd, got the following reply...

Now Jan 15th, and still have not heard anything. Of course I no longer have a medical, cannot fly. As Old Akro said, luckily I also do not reply on my medical for my income.

IS 10 working days too long to reply to an email??? Most of my clients/students expect instant replies...

Is AVMED in the real world? I assume they are with the way the fee they charge for the review of the medical and the way they quickly deducted their fee from my credit card. But with the way they seemingly have no customer service, it makes me wonder?
