What are the hours and when should I call?

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Pottery Barn call center opens before trying to call.

An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call

The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Pottery Barn phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling).

Companies like Pottery Barn staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy day to call Pottery Barn is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 206% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 283 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

Calling this number was quite productive, as I had no problems getting through to someone who could assist me. When I called, I was taken to the main menu, which offered several options, including tracking a package, checking on the status of an order and asking general questions.
I opted to ask a question, and the system told me it would take me to the next available representative. I found myself connected to a representative within two minutes, and he opened the call thanking me for calling Pottery Barn and asking how he could assist me.
I said that I would be ordering from Pottery Barn soon for a gift for my wife, and I wanted to check what the return policy was in case what I ordered wasn't the right choice for her. He said that when I placed an order, I would have 30 days from the date of the delivery, as long as it wasn't a custom or special order. I then asked for confirmation that any item that wasn't a specialty made piece could be returned within 30 days, and he responded affirmatively.
I then asked if they would be tracking when the delivery was made and starting the time then. He said that once the delivery was made, I'd need to contact Pottery Barn within 30 days of the delivery if I had any problems. At that point, Pottery Barn would accept the return and send me a label for me to take to a UPS location to return to them.
Overall, I found it very easy to get help during this call. I didn't have any kind of wait to speak to anyone and had no issues getting my questions answered. Based on this call, if I genuinely needed assistance from Pottery Barn, I would use this number without hesitation.

Information about why customers call Pottery Barn is extracted from issues that customers have reported to GetHuman.
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Pottery Barn provides this option.
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and Pottery Barn will reply our your email.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Pottery Barn customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
