Alternatives to Emailing Amazon
Utilizing Your Amazon Account
This is the method recommended by Amazon and one that I also endorse. It involves navigating to the customer service page provided on the website, which you can access directly by clicking on this link. However, please note that this method requires you to be registered on Amazon. If you haven’t done so yet, we recommend reading our article on “How to Create Your Amazon Account.”
Once logged into your account, click on “Customer Service” in the footer of the Amazon website. This action will take you to the following interface:
On this page, you have the option to:
- Track a package
- Modify or cancel an order
- Return items
- Subscribe to, cancel, or modify your Amazon Prime membership
- Add or modify a payment method
- Adjust your account settings
- Report or block fraudulent emails
- Manage your gift cards
- Contact Amazon
You also have the opportunity to check Amazon’s frequently asked questions (FAQ) page, which may provide answers to your queries.
If you don’t find the answer to your question in these options, you should click on “Need More Help?” This will direct you to Amazon’s specialized contact page.
The Steps to Follow
Firstly, you’ll need to choose the subject of your inquiry (such as a past order or Amazon Prime subscription). If it’s a question about a past order, you should select the specific order. Next, you’ll need to choose a specific detail from the dropdown list related to the nature of your inquiry.
Based on your selection, Amazon will provide an automated response, such as an explanatory video or tutorial. If this response doesn’t meet your needs, scroll down to step 3. Here, you’ll have the option to be called by Amazon, send them an email, or use a chat service.
Requesting a Callback
If you click on the phone button, you’ll have the option to be called back as soon as possible by Amazon. Simply provide your phone number and click on “Call me now.” This method is free, and you won’t incur any phone charges.
Sending en email to Amazon Customer Service
Opting for the “Email” option opens a straightforward contact form. Craft your message, including essential details, order numbers, or product specifics to ensure clarity. Once satisfied, click “Send.” Expect a swift response from Amazon in your email inbox. Their commitment to prompt customer service ensures efficient issue resolution. Keep an eye on your email for updates or instructions, and feel free to continue the conversation for further assistance.
Using the Chat

This feature allows for swift and interactive communication, facilitating a quick resolution to your inquiries or concerns. Feel free to utilize the chat function for immediate assistance, making the customer support experience more dynamic and efficient.
Sending a letter
For those steadfast enthusiasts of handwritten communication, here are the addresses for Amazon’s corporate headquarters:

Feel free to pen down your queries, concerns, or feedback and send them via traditional mail to these addresses. While this method may take a bit longer, it ensures your message is received in a classic, tangible format.
