Amazon customer support phone number.

After having stumbled upon a free Amazon Prime account, I’ve placed a couple of orders (not books), the latest of which never arrived. I remembered reading years ago that their customer service phone number was notoriously difficult to find. My perfunctory five second search for it at their site came up empty, so I dug a little deeper.

1-800-201-7575.
