What are the hours and when should I call?
Sears operates the call center for this 800-659-5917 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 2,904 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
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 Sears call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Sears phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Sears 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 time to call
The least busy day to call Sears is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 251% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 2,904 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Thursday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday, which is 664% longer than the minimum.As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
In summation, the best day to call Sears is Thursday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Sears staffs up on Thursday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
I'd imagine that people usually call Sears customer service to get information about home improvement services, credit, repairs, product delivery, and installation. I remember when a shopper could visit Sears for everything from clothing to auto repair. It was one of the biggest retailers in regional malls. Thinking back, I recall the smaller Sears catalog stores where a customer could go in and see appliances and tires and order them for home delivery. In my town, the only Sears store closed several years ago. However, I thought I might call the Sears 800-659-5917 customer service number to see if there's one within 2 hours of my home.
When I called the customer service number, an automated voice response system thanked me for calling Sears Home Services. Then, it provided an option for getting information in Spanish. After a silent period of several seconds, it offered the typical menu of numbers to press for services such as warranties, delivery and installation, and other needs. I selected “all other inquiries,” which took me to “Sears store locations.”
The system told me I could get a text message to help me find that information or go to the Sears website to find a nearby store. I visited the website and followed the instructions in the store locator but still couldn't find a Sears store in my state.
I haven't shopped at Sears for several years since I don’t have a store in my area. A positive takeaway from the call was that when I clicked on the “shop” link on the Sears website, I learned I could still buy merchandise at Sears online. Before this call, I didn’t know Sears was online, so I was happy to see that I can order clothing, appliances, and other items from the website.
Sometimes, I am disappointed when I call a customer service number and the automated system refers me to a website. Those are situations where I know I would be best served by speaking with a human, such as when I need technical assistance with a computer or other device. However, the information the system provided met my needs in this case.
The automated system wasn’t difficult to navigate, and I didn’t get stuck in an endless loop of prompts before learning how to find a Sears store. I appreciate getting through this call quickly and that the user-friendly voice response system enabled me to access a store I did not realize existed online.

Information about why customers call Sears is extracted from issues that customers have reported to GetHuman.
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 Sears will reply our your email.
Sears, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.
Some customer service teams, like that of Sears, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Sears 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.
