| How Do I Contact Boston Globe Customer Service |
Phoning a Friend (or Customer Service Rep)
For those who prefer a good old-fashioned chat, you can dial 1-888-MYGLOBE (694-5623). Remember, their customer service hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 am to 3:00 pm Eastern Time. Just be prepared for some hold music that might be an excerpt from a particularly dramatic Red Sox game (because, Boston).
Pro tip: If you're calling about a specific issue, like a missed delivery or a problem with your digital subscription, gather any relevant information beforehand. This will make the conversation smoother and less likely to devolve into a frantic search for your order number under the couch cushions.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
E-mail Etiquette: Reaching Out Virtually
For the keyboard warriors out there, you can fire off an email to customerservice@globe.com. Just be sure to craft a clear and concise message outlining your inquiry. Who knows, maybe you'll even get a witty reply that would make Mark Twain proud (hey, a guy can dream).
Side note: Avoid sending an email that simply says, "Help!" While dramatic, it might not be the most effective approach.
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
Website Warriors: Conquering the Customer Service Portal
The Boston Globe also offers a handy customer service portal where you can submit a request or browse through their FAQ section. Think of it as your virtual war room, where you can strategize your approach before contacting a customer service representative.
But wait, there's more! You can also use the portal to manage your account, update your billing information, or even order back issues if you're feeling a pang of nostalgia for the pre-internet days.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
