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

GetHuman researchers routinely call this CDW 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: Calling this CDW number should go right to a real human being
Here is how our research team describes the way the CDW phone system greets you: If you know your account manager's extension, press 1. Customer relations, press 2. Government, healthcare, educational sales, press 3. For all other sales, press 4. Technical support, press 5.
In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this CDW 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?

CDW operates the call center for this 800-800-4239 phone number Mon-Fri 7am-7pm CT. 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 46 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
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 CDW 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 CDW 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 CDW is Friday. The most busy day to call is Wednesday. Again, this is based on a sample of 46 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 Thursday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Friday.
The best time to call
In summation, the best day to call CDW is Friday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that CDW staffs the call center well on Friday.
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.

My Experience Calling 800-800-4239

Sep 12, 2023

Getting connected with CDW's customer service team might take a little time, but the results are worth the wait.

When I dialed, I was first told that I could reach an account manager directly if I knew their extension. If not, I could choose either technical support by pressing 5 or one of three areas of sales support by pressing the appropriate button.

I selected 4 for personal sales and waited about 15 minutes on hold. The hold experience wasn't great, as the CDW message simply kept repeating over and over. There wasn't any information on how to get alternate help, there wasn't anything about CDW products or solutions that could be complementary to what I was calling about, nothing. All I got were repeated assurances that my call was important to them and calls were answered in the order they were received.

Finally, my wait ended, and I was connected with Walter. I told Walter that I was in the market for a new computer and I wanted to find one with enough RAM to stand up to the usage I needed. He said he couldn't offer very technical support, but he would give his best professional opinion.

I told him that I'm a freelance writer and I'm sick of my computer dying on me every two to three years, so I wanted to know how much RAM I needed to get the most from my machine. He told me that with that amount of usage, 16 GB would be the minimum that he would recommend.

I then added that I routinely do a lot of research and comparison, so I regularly had a lot of tabs open. He said with that being the case, 32 GB would likely be the sweet spot for my needs. He reiterated that I could probably get away with 16 GB of RAM, but if I wanted my computer to perform at its best, I would need 32 GB.

I found this call very informative. Nobody had ever explained it to me this well, and I felt like I had genuinely gained valuable information from our interaction. Even though Walter said he couldn't offer much technical support, it was clear that he knew enough to provide helpful advice on the topic and could definitely steer me in the right direction if I chose a machine with his assistance.

If this is indicative of the level of technical support CDW provides its actual customers, I'd feel confident saying that they're getting good advice in a way they can use. If I were a genuine CDW customer, I'd feel confident calling this number for technical support.

More Ways to Contact CDW Customer Service

There are of course other ways to contact CDW customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
Live Chat
https://www.cdw.com/content/cdw/en/help-center/contact-us.html - 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, CDW provides this option.
CDW's website
https://www.cdw.com/content/cdw/en/help-center/contact-us.html - Customer Service
Use this link to find customer service help through their website
As a last, sometimes only, resort- CDW 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.
