As someone who has to deal with queries from people (not customers tho!) at work sometimes, I much prefer to receive an e-mail. That way, I can find out what they want to know, ask other people if necessary, and provide them with a considered response giving the info that they need. It's all logged, and if I (say) went off sick tomorrow, someone else would pick it up. As it currently stands with work, if they ring up now, they won't get an answer as nobody has been there for a month! If they send an e-mail, one of us who is working at home will pick it up and answer it as best we can, or will be able to advise that we'll get back to them in due course when we are in a position to do so.
