The 2020 America’s Best Customer Service rankings were identified from the results of an independent survey of more than 20,000 U.S. customers who have either made purchases, used services, or gathered information about products or services in the past three years. Ratings are compiled across six criteria – Net Promoter Score, quality of communication, range of services, customer focus, and accessibility.
