@kay1234 Thanks for responding! It definitely didn't go into my junk folder, but since some agents don't have automatic confirmation emails setup I just thought there wasn't one. I'll probably take your advice and wait a few more weeks.

@ChloeMarie it's completely your call. if you don't see the auto-receipt in your junk folder, maybe wait until the 6 or 8 week point and if you haven't heard by then, send a nudge?

I sent a query about a month ago and didn't receive an automatic confirmation email, does anyone know if I should resend it again or just wait?
