Amazon Customer Assistance & Customer Service

Some problem resolutions require reaching customer assistance. Sometimes finding how to contact customer service on Amazon.com is not obvious, so I wanted to share this information.



 

 

Chat

On several occasions I found 'chat' feature for a specific item helpful. 

To find it:

1. Select Help link at the bottom of the page
2. "Contact Us" yellow button on the right hand side
3. You will have three tabs "An order I placed", "Kindle", "Something else"
4. Select a product about which you want to talk to the customer service and a topic which relates to the issue.
5. Once you make the selections the following three buttons will become active: e-mail, phone, chat.
6.  If you select chat you will get a chat window.

I used this method and the issue was resolved fairly quickly.  I had to wait for the Amazon associate to start chatting for a short period.

Amazon calls you

Sometimes it is easier to talk to a person rather than type into chat.


To find this option:

1. Select Help link at the bottom of the page
2. "Contact Us" yellow button on the right hand side
3. You will have three tabs "An order I placed", "Kindle", "Something else"
4. Select a product about which you want to talk to the customer service and a topic which relates to the issue.

5. Once you make the selections the following three buttons will become active: e-mail, phone, chat.
6.  If you select phone, you will asked to enter your phone number and Amazon representative will call you (you can select to receive an immediate call or a call in 5 minutes).  This connects you to a representative directly and they will know who you are (you account information is shown to the representative when you call).

I used this method and the issue was resolved the issue I called about.  I did not have to wait to talk to a person.
