How to Contact Amazon UK

Last Updated: July 27, 2022

This wikiHow teaches you the fastest ways to contact Amazon UK's customer support team to resolve any issues you have with the service. Amazon no longer has a support e-mail address, so there is no way to contact Amazon UK via email. Amazon UK's support team is primarily available through live chat (the speediest option) and over the phone, but you can also ask questions through Amazon's official Twitter (@AmazonHelp) and Facebook (Amazon.co.uk) accounts.

Phoning Amazon UK

Go to https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/contact-us. Amazon UK offers the ability to request a near-instant phone call from a representative if you provide some details online first. If you're not already signed in to your Amazon account, you'll be prompted to do so now.
- If you'd rather phone Amazon yourself, you can do so, although you may need to wait in a queue.
  - For general issues in the UK, dial 0800 279 7234. If you're outside of the UK, dial +44 207 084 7911.

Using Amazon UK Online Chat

1
Go to https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/contact-us. Amazon's chat support service is the fastest way to contact Amazon UK for all types of support. Although you'll start the conversation with a bot, you can easily request to speak with a human at any time. If you're not already signed in to your Amazon account, you'll be prompted to do so now.
2
Click the Start chatting now button. It's the orange button on the left side of the page. This opens a chat window.
3
Type your question and click Send. You'll see some example questions in ovals at the bottom of the window—you can simply click one of those if you'd like.
4
Answer any additional questions from the bot. Amazon's messaging bot will attempt to guide you through your issue.
- If your issue is resolved by the bot, click Never mind, thank you at the bottom of the window to close it.
5
Ask to speak with a human if the bot cannot help. If you're not able to find the information you need, type I want to speak to a human into the typing area and click Send. You can then click Get help through chat to connect to a live person for further assistance.

- It's not possible to send a private message to Amazon UK on Facebook—you'll need to make a public post on their official page. Use this method for less serious concerns as you won't be able to exchange private information in this manner.
2
Go to Amazon UK's support page. If you're using a computer, had to https://www.facebook.com/AmazonUK. If you're on a phone or tablet, tap the magnifying glass near the top-right corner of the app, type amazon.co.uk, and then tap Amazon.co.uk (the option with a blue Amazon smile icon) in the search results.
3
Type your question or issue into the "Write a post" or "Write something" box. If you're using the newest version of Facebook on a computer, click the gray Create Post button at the top of the right column of the page. If you're using the older version of Facebook or the mobile app, scroll down and click or tap Write something on the Page.
- Since your message will be public, don't include any private information (e.g., contact info, payment details).
4
Tap Publish (mobile) or click Post (computer). Your post will then appear on Amazon UK's Facebook page. Sometimes you'll hear back the same day you make the post, but it can take a day or two to receive a response.
