In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this Box phone number is a direct line to a human being. The line is well-staffed and you should anticipate a very short wait on hold or none whatsoever, as long as you are calling during business hours.
We don't know of any phone menus you would encounter when calling either.

What are the hours and when should I call?

Box operates the call center for this 877-729-4269 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 243 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

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 Box 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 Box 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 Box 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 Box is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 189% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 243 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 Monday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Tuesday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Box

In summation, the best day to call Box is Thursday.
Once again, please put this information in perspective because this phone number has no phone menu or long waits. It generally gets picked up right away if calling during their opening hours. If there is any way, it will typically be very short.

Calling this Box Customer Number

Adam Goldkamp is the editor / author responsible for this content.

Calling the Box phone number for customer service isn't a great experience, as Box clearly wants customers to go to their website instead of asking for support over the phone. When I called Box's number, the automated system asked if I was a new or existing customer. I said I was a new customer and was directed to a menu where I could choose sales, billing or product support.

Upon selecting product support, I was brought to a recorded message where I was told that the best way to get help was by going to Box's website and opening up a ticket with the support team. I was expecting to be transferred to the support team, but the only option I was given was to contact the receptionist before the message began to repeat.

With no other option available, I hit 1 to get transferred to the receptionist, and a male voice introduced himself as Shane. Shane asked how he could help, and I told him I needed access to a file I had been sent. At that point, Shane said I would need to contact product support, and I told him I had tried to do exactly that but had been sent to him instead.

Shane said he would walk me through the process and asked me to head to Box's support website. When I did, he directed me to the support menu and told me to click on the last option, contact support. When I did, I found no phone number, no contact information, nothing. There was only a sign-in prompt to open an online ticket.

I asked Shane if that was the only way I could contact the support team, and he confirmed that it was. With nothing else really to be done from my perspective, I thanked him for his time and assistance, and he wished me a pleasant day.

While I found Shane perfectly pleasant to deal with, I found the customer service experience from Box sorely lacking. The company presents no options for anyone looking to gain product support by speaking to a live person over the phone, which is often a preferred method of assistance.

IĀ understand that Box is a cloud solutions-based company and likely wants to emphasize newer technology in its customer service department, but if that's the case, there shouldn't be an option for product support over the phone on the menu at all.

Overall, I found the automated menu to be a time waster, and it would have been much more efficient had Box told customers to visit the support site if they didn't want customers calling for product support.

More Box Customer Service Contacts

There are of course other ways to contact Box customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.

Box Customer Service Live Chat

box.com - Customer Service
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, Box provides this option.

Box Customer Service on X (formerly Twitter)

@boxsupport - Customer Service
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
Box, 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.

Box Customer Help Desk / Web Support

support.box.com - Customer Service
Use this link to find customer service help through their website
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Box 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.
