What are the hours and when should I call?

Sam's Club operates the call center for this 888 746-7726 phone number Mon-Sat 7am-11pm, Sun 10am-8pm CT. The short answer is that you should call on a Saturday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 1,342 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Sam's Club call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
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 Sam's Club 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 Sam's Club 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 Sam's Club is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 146% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 1,342 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 Saturday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Sunday, which is 757% longer than the minimum. As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Sam's Club

In summation, the best day to call Sam's Club is Saturday. It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Sam's Club staffs up on Saturday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.

  • Order status issues
  • Reporting on in-warehouse experiences

Best Tips for Calling Sam's Club Customer Support

There are several things that you can do to help ensure that your call is handled quickly and professionally:

  • Ensure that you are calling the right number. Sam's Club has different numbers for some of its products and services, such as travel or its co-branded credit cards.
  • Consider the nature of your request: If you are having issues with your local warehouse club, try resolving it with the staff or management there. Sam's Club's national call center may be able to help, but you are likely going to get a quicker resolution by handling the situation locally.
  • Have your membership number handy, along with any relevant documentation, which may include product names or model numbers, warranties, order confirmations or any previous correspondence between you and Sam's Club about your issue.
  • Have some way of taking notes during your call.

How Do People Feel About Their Calls to Sam's Club Customer Service?

Sam's Club is well-known for providing excellent customer service to its members and consumers report a high level of satisfaction with the support they've received.

What Sort of Issues Can Sam's Club Phone-Based Customer Service Resolve?

Sam's Club customer service agents can address many different issues, including membership issues and concerns, technical support and troubleshooting issues, order status issues, billing inquiries and helping to facilitate returns.

What Can't Easily Be Resolved Over the Phone with Sam's Club?

There are some issues that Sam's Club phone-based support can help with, but these issues may not be completely resolvable over the phone:

  • Some returns may need to be dealt with at the store or by physically mailing back the product. You may get a phone authorization or assistance for the return, but you will have to do the work of actually returning the product.
  • If you are having a problem with electronics that are incompatible with other products in your home, your agent may be able to suggest a workaround but he or she may not be able to resolve the problem completely.
  • Sam's Club travel representatives may have limited recourse when dealing with third-party travel vendors.

What Can I Do if my Call to Sam's Club is Unsuccessful?

Even good companies sometimes miss the mark when it comes to customer service. If you get off the phone with an agent and feel as though your issues were not resolved or understood, don't fret. You still have options.

  • Review your call notes. You may be able to identify an area of miscommunication or misunderstanding that led to the failure of your first call.
  • Call back. Explain that this is your second call regarding this matter and describe what went wrong during your first call and what you would like to see happen with your case. The next agent you speak to may be in a better position to understand and address your issue because he or she has more training or experience.
  • Try getting in touch another way: Sam's Club does offer live chat on its website. You might also try reaching out via social media platforms.
  • Your local warehouse club manager may also be willing to advocate for you or, in some cases, resolve the issue in the store as a goodwill gesture.
