when your support ticket is answered and solved do you say thanks? :)

For example when I submit hosting support tickets I am wondering should I say thanks after its resolved?

I mean its polite and all but reading that thanks takes support guys some time. So maybe by not saying thanks you save their time and its actually good thing to do.
What do some of you who are answering support tickets think about it?

Just a random thought

I used to, but now I say thanks in the initial ticket so I don't have to later. Being on the receiving end of tickets, yes, it can get annoying every now and then but it is nicer than nothing at all.

I say it when I open tickets... But if I've been working with someone steady on an issue or if I created the issue, then I toss in an extra thank you at the end.

If they are waiting for a response back I do thank them. If they're not I will spare them the time as they have other tickets to get to.

Hmm like I said I am considering not saying thanks because of saving their time. I mean their time is money and I thought maybe it pisses them off, like they open that ticket once again just to read "thanks". They could spend that time on opening another important ticket

Yes, customer support is a very thankless job, so opening up a ticket with the assumption someone is frustrated and/or wanting something from you, only to see, "Hey, thanks for your help! Much appreciated!" is a good thing.

It's weird.

With Naked Hosting, I always send a thank you rely.

With Reflected, I thank them in advance.

There is no rhyme or reason to this ... they both have kick ass support.

At Mojohost, if the ticket is something open-and-shut where the ticket is closed instantly, I don't reopen it just to say thanks. But a lot of times, the guys will address my problem and leave the ticket open long enough for me to react to the solution or indicate whether I have any follow-up needs. So I get a fair few opportunities to say thanks when I am closing tickets, and I try to take every one of those.

Of course, those guys are so awesome I always try to remember to say please-and-thank-you in my initial ticket requests anyway.

Im usually under the impression that they just want to close the ticket and move on to their next 300 open tickets. So no I keep it short as possible and no end thanks.

Unless it gives you an option to leave a comment as you close your own ticket then i do.

Imagine you have 20 tickets waiting, and 12 of them are thank you's. That's not annoying, it's the start of a great day.
