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 Sears 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 Sears 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.

My Experience Calling 800-659-5917

Dec 5, 2023

I'd imagine that people usually call Sears customer service to get information about home improvement services, credit, repairs, product delivery, and installation. I remember when a shopper could visit Sears for everything from clothing to auto repair. It was one of the biggest retailers in regional malls. Thinking back, I recall the smaller Sears catalog stores where a customer could go in and see appliances and tires and order them for home delivery. In my town, the only Sears store closed several years ago. However, I thought I might call the Sears 800-659-5917 customer service number to see if there's one within 2 hours of my home.

When I called the customer service number, an automated voice response system thanked me for calling Sears Home Services. Then, it provided an option for getting information in Spanish. After a silent period of several seconds, it offered the typical menu of numbers to press for services such as warranties, delivery and installation, and other needs. I selected “all other inquiries,” which took me to “Sears store locations.”

The system told me I could get a text message to help me find that information or go to the Sears website to find a nearby store. I visited the website and followed the instructions in the store locator but still couldn't find a Sears store in my state.

I haven't shopped at Sears for several years since I don’t have a store in my area. A positive takeaway from the call was that when I clicked on the “shop” link on the Sears website, I learned I could still buy merchandise at Sears online. Before this call, I didn’t know Sears was online, so I was happy to see that I can order clothing, appliances, and other items from the website.

Sometimes, I am disappointed when I call a customer service number and the automated system refers me to a website. Those are situations where I know I would be best served by speaking with a human, such as when I need technical assistance with a computer or other device. However, the information the system provided met my needs in this case.

The automated system wasn’t difficult to navigate, and I didn’t get stuck in an endless loop of prompts before learning how to find a Sears store. I appreciate getting through this call quickly and that the user-friendly voice response system enabled me to access a store I did not realize existed online.

More Ways to Contact Sears Customer Service

There are of course other ways to contact Sears customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
Email
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 Sears will reply our your email.
X (formerly Twitter)
@searscares - Customer Service
Customer service Twitter feed
Sears, 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.
Facebook / Messenger
Some customer service teams, like that of Sears, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.
Sears's website
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Sears 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.
