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

Companies like Puma 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.

More Ways to Contact Puma Customer Service
There are of course other ways to contact Puma customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
Use this link to connect with customer service via chat
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, Puma provides this option.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Puma 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.
