More Ways to Contact Overstock.com Customer Service
There are of course other ways to contact Overstock.com customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
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 Overstock.com will reply our your email.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Overstock.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.
