How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?

Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for Build.com below.

Let us call and talk to Build.com for you

Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.

We can get a live person on the line for you

That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.
GetHuman researchers routinely call this Build.com phone number to document the phone system.
Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest: Press 1
Below are some clips we've found from Build.com's phone menus and tips that help give an idea of what you will encounter when you call. We've highlighted why they are important as well:

What are the hours and when should I call?

Build.com operates the call center for this 800-375-3403 phone number Mon-Fri 5am-6pm, Sat-Sun 6am-4pm PT. The short answer is that you should call on a Friday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 70 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 Build.com 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 Build.com 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 Build.com 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 Build.com is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 400% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 70 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 Wednesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Thursday.
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 Build.com

In summation, the best day to call Build.com is Friday.

More Build.com Customer Service Contacts

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

Build.com Customer Service Live Chat

build.com - Customer Service
Click "Live Chat" on the left
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, Build.com provides this option.

Build.com Customer Help Desk / Web Support

build.com - Customer Service
Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Build.com 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.
