MAYBE
Checking your clock…
Raleigh is not a generic 'US timezone' — Downtown Raleigh has its own manners. Research Triangle mornings start early. Europe overlap is a gift; late Slack is not. Raleigh still shifts with daylight saving (UTC−5 in January, UTC−4 in July). The polite window around Downtown Raleigh is 08:00–17:00 local. Ask once what hours they actually keep, then honor the answer. On an ordinary weekday in Raleigh, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
