Use Amazon’s online live chat
The next screen will ask you to choose what you need help with. Select “I need more help”.
The live chat opens in a new window. Type “speak to a representative” and press Enter. You will then be asked if you would like to chat with a member of staff now or be called back. If you choose to have them call you back, enter your phone number.
If you choose to speak to a representative now, you may have to wait a bit until they are available. However, Amazon is generally pretty good at not keeping you waiting too long.
Call Amazon Customer Service
If Amazon’s documentation didn’t help you and you are not interested in the online live chat option, you can always call Amazon’s customer service center at 1-888-280-4331.
When you call this number, an automated service will ask you several questions. This is to ensure you are directed to the correct department. Finally, make your way to a human representative.
As with the online live chat method, you’ll likely have to wait in a queue for a while before you can reach an agent. This is especially true if you’re calling on Black Friday or another gift-giving holiday.
Email Amazon Customer Service
If you don’t have time to wait in line, email [email protected]. Unfortunately, you must expect to wait several days (or longer) before you receive an answer. Use this option only if your problem is not time critical.
Contact Amazon via social media
This method is hit-or-miss. It is not recommended to use social media to contact Amazon for time-sensitive issues. More importantly, if your issue involves personal information such as your phone number or address, do not Use social media to contact Amazon.
If your issue is not time sensitive and you do not need to provide personal information, you can contact Amazon at TwitterInstagram or Facebook.
That’s all there is to it. Amazon’s support is thorough and efficient, so they can help you with almost any issue – aside from deleting your purchase history. To do this, you need to completely delete your Amazon account.
