I was not approved with them and they directed me to MDG Direct. I also got called from Purolator yesterday the 20th and today the 21 of April 2011 saying my tracking # and then called Dell to ask what my package was. The damb refused to talk to me and give info. Anyhow i am never dealing with them again and or MDG I perfer to stay with this rental company I am with now. I refused the package from courier as well.

I would be very careful when ordering any item from Dell.I have been debited with the cost of the computered ordered, but with no delivery.Their Courier Porulatot, delivered a package, with no contents listed.I assumed it was the dell computer, but it only contained batteries for the computer and the response I get is that I signed for it.
I am at a loss as to what to do next.Called Porulator, whose response is that it is a dell problem.
It is a business computer, they say they will replace it in the next 7 to 10 days.
My experience with dealing with them has been appalling to date.
I would caution all to be customers.Do not allow them to debit your credit card as once they have the money, the consumer as per them can go to hell.They have no intention of maintaining a long term relationship with you.
my oder no is 335178943.

I've bougt a DELL Laptop in 2008 that fail defective in last december. I've sent the unit to be repaired nothing less than 3 times at they're "Return to Depot" service center. They repaired my laptop with USED parts full of somebody else shit in it! The computer was returned to me scratched and some of the components did'nt works as they should anymore...

So far 4 MONTHS LATER, I'm just out of word facing the TOTAL LACK of intelligence and internal communication of DELL Canada. I've pass more than 10 hours on the phone to try having my equipment repaired and put back as it was before they mess up with it. ALL THE PROMESSES they've done never happen.

Finaly, tired and upset of they're non sense scripted bullshit, I had to intempt legal action agains DELL to get my money back. Piece of advice... STAY AWAY from that company that have no idea of what is customer satifaction at ALL. As a senior hi-end retail consultant my self, I've never seen in a life time a total lack of responsibility as DELL providing to they're customers. Treating peoples this way, it's just a matter of time for this company to get out of business.

I purchased a Dell laptop online in 2008. No complaints about the product. I purchased it using my name as the person to be billed, my credit card (my money), with my name on it. Unwisely as it turned out, I put my husband's name for it to be shipped to, as it was a present for him. Immediately Dell's software made the whole account over to him. I tried to have this corrected and was told they couldn't or wouldn't. More recently I bought a desktop online from them. I never logged in, my computer said "hello Anne" up in the corner, and I proceeded to fill in my name everywhere, to be shipped to me, using my credit card etc. again. When it arrived the invoice had his name all over it, not mine. Apparently their system recognized the address and email and immediately assigned it to this old account, now in his name, and nowhere on the online screens did it suggest to me it was doing this. Their response: "you should have known". When I pointed out it appeared that he was buying things using my credit card, their response was: "husbands do".
To me it defies logic that the person who is paying the bill and whose name is on the credit card should not be the holder of the account. It also defies logic that their system apparently will accept payment from a credit card with a different name to the person holding the account. Surely at some point their software should have asked me if I was Ramesh (the husband in question), and offered me the chance to register as myself. And surely it should have provoked a question about my name on a credit card paying for something to be ordered by my husband.
Dell assures me that they have me listed in their system as the owner of the computer, though they also encouraged me to file a "transfer of ownership" form online, which I did. But I am absolutely certain that that means nothing legally, and if I ever had to prove my ownership here, all I have is an invoice with his name all over it. They declined to replace that by the way.
As a final note I must say, I have spent a lifetime trying to be more than someone's wife, someone's daughter, someone's mother, and to be demoted yet again by unrefined and poorly designed software run by a company that couldn't give a damn, is infuriating and insulting. I am a separate individual, with my own funds, my own credit, and my own existence. Whether or not I still reside with my husband is neither here nor there. I could have had it shipped to Jack Spratt at this address, and apparently Dell would have just assigned him the computer, and billed me and my credit card.
In the end the offered me a $100.00 rebate which I was very reluctant to accept. I wanted to just return the order and tell them to go to hell, but since my complaint was not technical, they had no parameters to fit it, and were going to penalise me to the tune of $50.00, or possibly $75.00. So in the end I took the rebate, but declined the other offer of a $150.00 coupon, and the opportunity to set up a personal account over the phone. I shall NEVER use them again.

No economic or physical consequences have arisen from this. The feeling of being diminshed and demeaned yet again is hard to assess, and the question of proof of ownership is just hanging in the air.

I placed an order for the laptop on Nov 17. It was intended as a Xmas present for my daughter but was also intended as a test of the Dell system. I will be opening a family practice/anti aging/cosmetic clinic in the next 12 months and my intention is to make it completely computer driven requiring 10-12 computers. Suffice it to say that after this experience I have no intention of ever dealing with Dell again.
The projected ship date was Dec 5. On Dec 16 after having still not received the laptop I called Dell and was informed that the order had been cancelled. According to your rep this could have been for "any one of a hundred reasons". He could give me no reason why it was cancelled.
I have now spent over three hours on hold speaking with various incompetents who keep on insisting they cannot put me through to anyone in charge, leaving voice mails that aren't returned and transferring me around multiple times including hanging up on me twice.
Now I am told that the order was cancelled for the wrong sku number whatever that means.
No one in the India Customer Care Centre (customer care - what a joke), and I spoke with nine of them could offer any kind of explanation and none of them could give me a contact number for the company in Canada. I spoke with Dell Financial to make sure I wasn't being charged for it - thankfully I'm not - and they inform me that they have no way of contacting the company in Canada.
Never again will I deal with Dell and everyone else who wishes to should be prepared for what happens if they do.
Moral: Buy locally, at least you have someone to complain to
