Hi guys, my store was taken down for no reason whatsoever, maybe they just want to make sure I have authorisation to sell my products from the manufacturers which I do of course, they asked me to send them all the relevant invoices and stuff, I did but it's been 7 days and I haven't heard anything back from them, can anyone here help me and tell me how long do they take to reply? As I find it very upsetting that my store was taken down in the first place as i have EVERYTHING in order and I have authorisation, I have a legitimate company registered, and there's only 52 weeks in a year and taking a full one of my time is kind of unacceptable 😔. Anyone here knows how long they take??? legal@legal-mailer.shopify.com?? Thank you 🙏🏼
