More Ways to Contact Old Navy Customer Service
There are of course other ways to contact Old Navy 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, Old Navy provides this option.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Old Navy 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.
