Calling this Brother International Customer Number
Brother International manufactures office equipment, including printers and scanners. It also sells sewing machines. Callers to the company's customer service number might be interested in buying a product, getting technical assistance, or finding out if a product is still under warranty. I called Brother International's 800-284-4329 customer service number to ask where to purchase a Brother sewing machine near me.
An automated system attendant thanked me for calling and informed me that the company might monitor the call for quality and training purposes. It said I needed to speak my entire model number to get help. I told the system I was not calling about a model number, and it said it could not find a match for that model number.
I didn't share a model number, so I assume the system has a standard response to anything it hears and does not understand. It repeated the request for the model number. I said, "Customer service," thinking that the system might send me to a human for help, but again, it said it couldn't find a match.
Then, the system gave me numerical options to press to get information on printers, multifunction machines, scanners, and home sewing. I pressed the home sewing option. After some brief music, the system told me to press one, and it would hold my place and call me when it was my turn. Rather than pressing one, I listened to music while I held the line for a few minutes.
A little later, the system thanked me for waiting and offered live chat support on the company's website. I could click on the support tab for help. The music resumed, and I continued waiting. Then, the system offered the live chat option once more. I decided to press one, and it confirmed my phone number and told me I was third in line. I was surprised it remembered me after I was on hold for so long.
I finally got a return call. A friendly associate asked me for my first and last name and wanted my model number. I told him I didn't have a model number, but I was interested in knowing where I could find a brother sewing machine in my area. After some checking, he gave me a retailer's name, address, and phone number within an hour of my home. He also offered to email me the information, but I told him that wasn't necessary.
The company provides a callback option, which is good because few people can wait indefinitely for an associate to answer. I can't complain about the service during this call. The automated system initially offered a callback, and I chose to wait. However, as the system promised, an associate did call me back after I seleced that option.

Could you please say the *entire* model number again, including any dashes? My apologies, I still didn't hear it. For printers, multifunction machines, all-in-ones, labelers, or scanners, please press one. For home sewing, embroidery, or craft products, press two.
What are the hours and when should I call?
Brother International operates the call center for 800-284-4329; it's open 24 hours, 7 days. The quick takeaway? You should call on a Thursday. This insight, and the next part, comes from analyzing 452 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

We'll confirm you're ready before placing the call, just in case. That means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time. So, go ahead and schedule a call with Brother International! Here's an important note about busy times, hold times, and the best time to call. When we talk about "busy" or "less busy" times, we're really just referring to the volume of calls coming in. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Brother International phone number, while least busy times naturally have fewer people calling. However, a high call volume doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Brother International staff their call centers differently depending on the time of day and day of the week, so you might actually experience a shorter wait on hold even during the busiest times. When we talk about the "best time to call," we're referring to that sweet spot – the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
Sunday's the least busy day to call Brother International. Friday, on the other hand, is the busiest, with 83% more phone calls on average. Just so you know, this is based on a sample of 452 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.
The shortest wait on hold
We've found Thursday has the shortest hold times. On average, Monday's when you'll wait longest in the queue. But if you're using our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you really won't need to worry about average wait times. That's call and talk for me or wait on hold for me.
The best time to call Brother International
Ultimately, Thursday is the best day to call Brother International. While it isn't the least busy day, their hold times are shortest. This indicates Brother International staffs up on Thursday to manage the higher call volume, making it the prime time to reach them.
Calling this Brother International Customer Number
By Christian Allen By Christian Allen Brother International makes office equipment like printers and scanners, and they also sell sewing machines. People who call their customer service number usually want to buy something, get technical help, or check if a product is still under warranty. So, I called Brother International's customer service line at 800-284-4329 to find out where I could buy a Brother sewing machine nearby. An automated system thanked me for calling and let me know they might monitor the call for quality and training. It then told me I needed to say my full model number to get any help. I told the system I wasn't calling about a model number, but it just replied that it couldn't find a match for *that* model number. Since I hadn't given a model number, I figured the system just has a default response for anything it hears but doesn't understand. It then repeated its request for the model number. I tried saying "Customer service," hoping it would connect me to a person, but once again, it said it couldn't find a match. Finally, the system offered numerical options for information on printers, multifunction machines, scanners, and home sewing. I chose the home sewing option. After a little music, the system instructed me to press one, and it'd hold my spot and call me back when it was my turn. Instead of pressing one, though, I just listened to the music while I stayed on the line for a few minutes. A bit later, the system thanked me for waiting and then offered live chat support through their website. It said I could click on the support tab for help. The music came back on, and I kept waiting. And then, the system offered the live chat option again. I hit 'one' and it confirmed my phone number, telling me I was third in line. I was actually surprised it remembered me, especially after being on hold for so long. Eventually, I got a call back. A friendly associate asked for my first and last name, then wanted my model number. I told him I didn't have a model number, but I was really just trying to find a brother sewing machine nearby. He did some checking and gave me a retailer's name, address, and phone number, all within an hour of my home. He even offered to email the info, but I said it wasn't necessary. It's great that the company offers a callback option, because let's be real, few people can wait indefinitely for an associate to pick up. I honestly can't complain about the service on this call. The automated system actually offered a callback initially, but I chose to wait then. However, the system kept its promise, and an associate did call me back after I selected that option. Christian has been writing about long hold times and customer service call center experiences since 2010. He's even been featured in Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal, and the Boston Globe.
