Unacceptable
I planned to use a laptop for my trip on July 9, so I go to dell.com to buy a laptop as usual on June 24. I checked out and made an immediate payment by my credit card. Confirmation email was sent right after that. But I keep calling Dell customer service (CS) to have them make sure everything on time. They promised to expedite my order and call me back to confirm on these issues, but a call back never happened. I was still patient and kept checking the website for order status. Suddenly, i received an email said that my order was delayed, completely nonsense. I called them right away but receive a horrible experience. I call directly to the small business department, but they keep holding me with stupid music and pick up my call, verify info, ask for situation, then transfer to other people. They did that for about 4 representatives, repeating the same things, then finally hung up. I kept calling back, some of them behave really rude to customer. After I give them the service number for faster service, they transferred me right away without saying anything. The voice tone is completely not happy with me. That is unacceptable. That's for the service.
Here for the order process. I ordered it on June 24, with expectation to have it in hands on the beginning of July. But the estimated date for delivery is on July 17th. Can you imagine that? I don't know what they do in such that long time, 24 days for an order. I always bought things online and it took about a week to be delivered. I can promise and recommend to everyone that never ever do business with DELL until they get improved on customer service and order process procedure.

Awful company
I described a peoblem with my Dell computer. It would not eject a game disk. I was told I needed a new DVD-CD Driver. I asked if it is easy to install. I was told not to worry, that a Dell technician would take me through the installation step by step via the phone or computer. Not one word about this help costing over $100. I was led to believe that by purchasing this from Dell, that they would give me help in installing it as part of the purchase price. Don't they have an obligation to mention that there is such a substantial cost for this? Shouldn't written instructions at least be included with the part purchased? Why did they pretend that this help were part of the purchase deal?

Complaint
To whomever concerned,
The purpose of this email is to lodge a complain against the service of one of your sales staff - Andrew Wee, extension number 8632166.
At the beginning, he promised to let me know if he can throw in something for me after I placed my order. My order is placed on the 13th of June and still no news even till Tuesday morning. So I have to make a call down on the 15th June to check what is the matter. It was then Andrew told me that the credit card system is faulty on the 13th but I still don't understand why he didn't call to let me know on the next day, which is the 14th of June. However he seemed rather sincere, carries a rather pleasant tone of voice and have prompt follow-up calls so I let it passed.
However after the order is being sent to the factory, I have to chase him for information ALL THE TIME and even though most of the time he promised that he will call back, he failed to do so. It literally feels like I have to make the whole damn computer myself as when I didn't have the ready information online, I have to call and check and wait for the reply which Andrew refuses to call back every single time. On the 22th June, when I asked him about the delivery date which isn't available online even after 3 working days, I had to make the call near to the closing time of your hotlines and it was then he told me he do not have the information and will let me know the next day. If you have to let me know the next day, you should had call and not keep the customer hanging and then make them call you in the end! And of course I still didn't received a call from Andrew the next day as well. Fortunately, the information is available online then. But that doesn't make it a reason not to call back.
This is my second purchase from Dell as I remembered the last purchase to be rather pleasant. I even recommended my friends to buy from Dell, praising the high service standards and the quality of your products (my laptop serves me well till this day). But this latest purchase is far from satisfactory. In fact this purchase left me full of frustration, I need the computer urgently and I placed the order way beforehand and now because of all those delays, I have to borrow from my friend just to complete the task. If this is the way you treat your customers, I can assure you this is the last purchase I would ever transact with Dell. And advising those around me not to do so as well.
Moreover, less hassle need to encountered from other brands, without the need of waiting for 3 whole weeks and needing to borrow a credit card or cheque book just to make a purchase. Prices are rather competitive as well, with the same or comparable specifications.
$1500 might seem nothing to you but it's an amount which I have to scraped and saved. I expect better treatment for that kind of money.
Feel free to check your call recordings if you have doubts in any of the points I made in this email. All the required dates are stated.
Yours Sincerely,
Megan Tan

Awful experience
We got a Dell computer, monitor and printer for a wedding gift. After about 60 days, the printer went bad. Since it was under a 90-day warranty, we called the service number and went through a long troubleshooting routine with the tech (who had, let's say, "weak" English skills). Finally, when the problem could not be solved over the phone, they said they would send a new one. They did. We had to pack up and send the old one back, but they paid for that. About two weeks later, the second printer developed the same problem as the first. We went through the same troubleshooting routine, but the problem couldn't be solved. I said I wanted another one, but they refused, saying that the 90-day warranty was up. I said no, I only had the printer for two weeks. They replied that they were only honoring the ORIGINAL warranty, and that there was no warranty on the new one. So I was stuck with a bulky printer that only severs as a scanner now. I bought a little Lexmark that works fine. Never, ever buy anything from Dell.

Charging me with out an agreement!
The WORST Company ever!!
I Had to deal with Dell Technical support over the phone. At the beginning I was told that I will be charged for this call £29. Ok, fine, if they can't provide free support. But that's not all! Ashish Mehrotra (guy form technical support) was trying to sell me thing, but I clearly told him NO. Obviously it wasn't clear enough. Couple days later, I received and email "DELL order CONFIRMATION"???? What order? I didn't order anything! I have sent an email to mentioned guy saying I didn't order anything make sure you don't charge. But no reply!
What do you think- I was charged another £29! Sent another email – no reply again!
When I tried to find out with DELL how I can get my money back, I was transferred from one department to another for 15 minutes (and of course I have to pay for all those calls!) with no help! The only think on the end I wanted is just to get to manager or to complaints department. NO CHANCE!! Absolutely useless!!
So I was left with no option as just to cancel my card before DELL will decide to charge me for £1000 or more. DON’T GIVE THEM YOUR BANK DETAILS as you might end up like me!

Awful service
I ordered a computer from Dell on 5/17. This date was then set back 3 times the last being to 6/26. I talked to a customer service rep after the second delay. This person was obviously a foreigner and a bit hard to understand. All of his answers were canned, like he was reading them. the words were the same every time it was repeated. It was obvious that all he knew was what he was reading on a screen. He said the computer was in such demand that production could not keep up. Very hard to believe but even if true does not explain 3 delays. Is their production projection that bad? Several calls to service center after learning of 3rd delay netted same thing. Service rep and manager could not speak English very well. Read canned answers. You can't talk to anyone who can give you an educated answer. I canceled the order and will never use Dell again.

Gift Cards
I have been unable to use my Dell gift cards for purchases. Starting Jan of 2008, I started to gift myself a $100 card a month. Some were E-Cards ($600), some were Hard cards ($1200) sent in the mail. All have no expiration date.
Around Dec of last year, I didn't receive my card in the mail. After two hours on the phone getting passed on from person to person, I finally hung-up and called my credit card company and canceled that charge. I continued to buy cards till I had $1800 of them.
Then I decided to use one... and that is when the trouble started. I took me over a week, hours of waiting on the phone, etc till they were able to correct the E-Cards. They assured me the other hard cards would work.
Two weeks later, when I decided to use the hard cards, I was able to use 2 of them and place some orders. Unfortunately, the orders went through, but the cards were later invalidated and my orders canceled. It seems they were invalidated by Dell. One order I was not notified, the other I received an email. After speaking with Sales, they were going to contact Dell Card Service and correct the problem. I also called Dell Card Service and asked them to follow-up with Sales. Neither of them did, although they said they would.
That was almost two weeks ago. I have called daily, e-mailed daily and generally gotten nowhere with Dell Gift Service (they say their tool to fix the problem is broken) and Customer Service.
Now, I go to check the balance on the remaining 13 cards at Dell's website, and some show invalid, some show $100 original balance. Unfortunately, the ones with a balance do not go through when I try to make a purchase. There is no expiration date on this type of card, yet they show as invalid.
I average an hour a day and have used all my lunches and breaks at work trying to resolve the problem. Those hours have added up to days, many minutes on my prepaid phone, and still no resolution. The managers I call are often there on site, but let my calls go to voice mail after holding for 20 minutes or so. Often I am passed around and then disconnected. I have told this entire story to dozens of Dell employees (Sale, Service, Gift card care).
Several employees promise to call back the following day regardless of the outcome, and have not. These people owe me for my time, my minutes, the sales discounts I was unable to use, and finally the frustration of getting the runaround. Why does Dell treat their loyal customers so poorly?

There is no customer service at dell
the computer i purchased from dell (aka hell) arrived dead. i called and was routed to india. as soon as i explained the computer was dead they put me on unending hold and/or cut me off. this lasted hours. i finally told them i would be disputing the charge on my ax and cut me off one last time. the rep. at ax tried calling and they cut her off too. ax handled it for me, though grudgingly, but i ended up having to pay shipping to return their dead computer. steer clear of them. i've never before suffered such frustration with a retailer. i bought a computer at b&h photo and video and they were good. i've heard good things about tigerdirect and newegg too.
