This wikiHow teaches you the fastest ways to contact Amazon UK's customer support team to resolve any issues you have with the service. Amazon no longer has a support e-mail address, so there is no way to contact Amazon UK via email. Amazon UK's support team is primarily available through live chat (the speediest option) and over the phone, but you can also ask questions through Amazon's official Twitter (@AmazonHelp) and Facebook (Amazon.co.uk) accounts.
Amazon's Contact Info at a Glance
- Call Amazon's UK help line at 0800 279 7234. If you're outside of the UK, dial +44 207 084 7911.
- Visit Amazon's Live Chat page to message a representative online.
- Note that Amazon no longer has a support email address.

Select a reason for contacting Amazon. Buttons containing different reasons for containing support appear at the top of the page. Click the one that best applies to your issue. If you don't see something that fits your needs, click the Prime and more button for more options.
- If you're containing Amazon about an order, select the order from the list, or click choose different order to see additional orders from which to choose.
4
Select an option from the "Tell us more about your issue" menu. You may have to scroll down a little to see this menu.
- Once you make a selection, the system may give you another drop-down menu to further explain your issue.
5
Click the yellow Phone button. It's under the "Or, talk to someone" header. You may have to scroll down a little to find it.
6
Enter your phone number. Begin by choosing your country from the "Country/Region" drop-down menu, then input your phone number into the "Your number" blank.

Click Call me now. It's the yellow button below the phone number blank. This sends a message to Amazon's customer support with the information you provided so they can quickly help you resolve your problem. Keep your phone nearby to answer the call when it comes.[1]

Go to https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/contact-us. Amazon's chat support service is the fastest way to contact Amazon UK for all types of support.

2
Click the Start chatting now button. It's the orange button on the left side of the page. This opens a chat window.
3
Type your question and click Send. You'll see some example questions in ovals at the bottom of the window—you can simply click one of those if you'd like.
4
Answer any additional questions from the bot. Amazon's messaging bot will attempt to guide you through your issue.
- If your issue is resolved by the bot, click Never mind, thank you at the bottom of the window to close it.
5
Ask to speak with a human if the bot cannot help. If you're not able to find the information you need, type I want to speak to a human into the typing area and click Send. You can then click Get help through chat to connect to a live person for further assistance.

Open Facebook on your computer, phone, or tablet. If you have a Facebook account, you can use it to contact Amazon UK through their official Facebook page. Amazon UK's Facebook support team is available to answer questions 7 days a week between 7 AM and 7 PM.[3]
- It's not possible to send a private message to Amazon UK on Facebook—you'll need to make a public post on their official page. Use this method for less serious concerns as you won't be able to exchange private information in this manner.
2
Go to Amazon UK's support page. If you're using a computer, had to https://www.facebook.com/AmazonUK. If you're on a phone or tablet, tap the magnifying glass near the top-right corner of the app, type amazon.co.uk, and then tap Amazon.co.uk (the option with a blue Amazon smile icon) in the search results.
3
Type your question or issue into the "Write a post" or "Write something" box. If you're using the newest version of Facebook on a computer, click the gray Create Post button at the top of the right column of the page. If you're using the older version of Facebook or the mobile app, scroll down and click or tap Write something on the Page.
- Since your message will be public, don't include any private information (e.g., contact info, payment details).
4
Tap Publish (mobile) or click Post (computer). Your post will then appear on Amazon UK's Facebook page. Sometimes you'll hear back the same day you make the post, but it can take a day or two to receive a response.
