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 HarperCollins 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 HarperCollins 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 HarperCollins is Saturday. The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 160% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 62 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 Tuesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Friday.
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 HarperCollins

In summation, the best day to call HarperCollins is Tuesday. 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 HarperCollins staffs up on Tuesday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.

As a last, sometimes only, resort- HarperCollins customer service can be accessed through their website.
