		<description>You had me listening until you mentioned buying a Mac. The real answer would be to build your own computer, it&#039;s not that hard.</description>

		<title>Comment on Dell Computers: A Customer Service Nightmare by George</title>

		<description>Hi, thank you for your post. I&#039;m going through &quot;Dell Hell&quot; as we speak. First, I bought a new Dell Inspiron (aka &quot;I-spit-on-u-moron&quot;) in Dec and my monitor suddenly stopped working last month. Like all the above comments, I had a great experience ordering my Dell, but not such a great experience trying to get the monitor replaced. After I called Dell and went through the several transfers, hang-ups, and call backs that seems to be status quo for Dell per my experience and comments above, I finally reached someone through the online chat, which didn&#039;t end well and I completely blew up. Fast forward, I&#039;ve since mailed my dell to the U.S. to have a buddy of mine assist, but no such luck as Dell Customer Service is a complete joke. I&#039;ve called 5x, my buddy has called 3x. We&#039;ve both explained same story, given same Service Tag and Serial Number information and it&#039;s like every time we call, we have to start from the beginning only to be cut off.  Seriously, after paying for all the long distance calls, shipping my monitor back to the U.S.,  wasting my time, my buddy&#039;s time, I could have bought a new computer system and monitor. I have a MAC and love it, but need a PC for work. My solution was to buy a used (smaller) temp monitor which is working great. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. Here&#039;s a copy of the online  session...you decide:

06/10/2011 03:39:23PM 	Session Started with Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642)
06/10/2011 03:39:28PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;Thank you for contacting Dell Small and Medium Business Hardware Support. My name is Alex. How may I help you today?&quot;
06/10/2011 03:40:13PM 	George: &quot;Hello Alex. I just purchased a Dell from you in December and my monitor isn&#039;t working.&quot;
06/10/2011 03:41:32PM 	George: &quot;I&#039;ve researched and changed power cords, plugs, etc., but screen remains black and no lights whatsoever....how do I return?&quot;
06/10/2011 03:42:33PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;Pleased to meet you, George.&quot;
06/10/2011 03:43:05PM 	George: &quot;Likewise&quot;
06/10/2011 03:45:02PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;Can you confirm the system that you would like to have support with is the INSPIRON ZINO HD with the Service Tag:8D4ZPN1 ?&quot;
06/10/2011 03:45:38PM 	George: &quot;Yes, this is the system and service tag.&quot;
06/10/2011 03:46:12PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;In case we get disconnected in chat, would it be okay if I call you at this number 702-395-7219 ? Also, is degrellg@yahoo.com your primary email address?&quot;
06/10/2011 03:46:27PM 	George: &quot;Yes and yes&quot;
06/10/2011 03:47:16PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;Thank you for the confirmation. To give you an update, you still have an active Hardware Warranty contract that will expire on December 17, 2011. Going back to the issue that you mentioned earlier...&quot;
06/10/2011 03:47:47PM 	George: &quot;Thank you for warranty update.&quot;
06/10/2011 03:49:15PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;When you power on the system, check the power button if it shows in blinking amber.&quot;
06/10/2011 03:50:32PM 	George: &quot;The inspirion is solid white and no light for the monitor&quot;
06/10/2011 03:51:17PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;CHecked the diagnostic LED and tell me which one are lit?&quot;
06/10/2011 03:51:25PM 	George: &quot;I&#039;ve tried all the recommended solutions like checking plugs, using new cords, using new power outlet....the monitor is not turning on&quot;
06/10/2011 03:52:15PM 	George: &quot;Nothing on monitor is lit. The inspiron only has a solid white power light...I&#039;m using my MAC to type to you and don&#039;t have access to check anything on the inspirion&quot;
06/10/2011 03:52:35PM 	George: &quot;except the power light&quot;
06/10/2011 03:53:13PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;I am referring to the numlock, scroll lock and capslock LEDs&quot;
06/10/2011 03:54:08PM 	George: &quot;Sorry about that. No lights are on currently, but I pressed number lock and it&#039;s lit up now&quot;
06/10/2011 03:54:34PM 	George: &quot;Just pressed the Caps lock and it&#039;s on now as well&quot;
06/10/2011 03:55:08PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;Do you have external monitor to use?&quot;
06/10/2011 03:55:55PM 	George: &quot;Unfortunately, I do not. Just my MAC and don&#039;t think I can connect the insperion to it...can I?&quot;
06/10/2011 03:57:45PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;Based on the symptoms you have mentioned and on the results of troubleshooting, this indicates that the LCD KIT and Motherboard has gone faulty and needs to be replaced. What I can do for you is arrange an &quot;On-Site&quot; service to be conducted after 1-2 busi&quot;
 	ness days. I will be booking for a Dell Certified Technician with the part replacement to make sure that all parts are checked and installed properly. In case the problem persists, the system technician will take necessary actions. Would you like me to go
 	ahead and book that for you?
06/10/2011 03:59:54PM 	George: &quot;It would be fine, but I should let you know that I&#039;m with the U.S. Military and based out of Ramstein,Germany (same place I was when I ordered the Dell and had shipped). Is this ok, or should I just mail monitor back?&quot;
06/10/2011 04:01:04PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;I apologize for the inconvenience. We can only service and send parts within the US.&quot;
06/10/2011 04:01:52PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;If you want send the system back to us and once there chat back to us again so that the we can send the parts and onsite technician where the system is?&quot;
06/10/2011 04:02:23PM 	George: &quot;Sure, what address should I mail to?&quot;
06/10/2011 04:03:32PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;Mail it on your US address. You cannot send your system to us from there.&quot;
06/10/2011 04:04:08PM 	George: &quot;My military address is a US address (PSC 10 Box 15, APO AE 09142)&quot;
06/10/2011 04:04:52PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;Do you have no physical address in the US?&quot;
06/10/2011 04:06:12PM 	George: &quot;We&#039;ve been in Germany for 7 years now. The address that you mailed me the computer to me is the miltary address listed above and is a U.S. address.&quot;
06/10/2011 04:06:57PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;Okay. For that case, I suggest you to just transfer the warranty of the system from US to Germany so that it can be serviced there.&quot;
06/10/2011 04:07:17PM 	George: &quot;I can mail the computer to you and give you my parents address in the U.S. if you would like to mail the new or repaired monitor back to them.&quot;
06/10/2011 04:07:42PM 	George: &quot;I don&#039;t want to transfer warranty to Germany...too hard to get service.&quot;
06/10/2011 04:08:13PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;Then send the system to US address where it can be serviced.&quot;
06/10/2011 04:08:31PM 	Agent (CLKsmb_Alex_188642): &quot;Once there, chat back to us so that we can process the dispatch.
06/10/2011 04:09:36PM 	George: &quot;OK, I will send to my parents address, but you did just lose all my business for any future orders and I&#039;ll be sure to spread your shitty service to my entire unit. Have a great day!&quot;

		<description>Hi,
Total agreement with Dell Hell comments. I put a promotional order from this Monday into the &quot;cart&quot; they provide for on line orders , that I&#039;ve used successfully for over 20 years of purchasing Dells. (I currently am looking at 4 Dell products as we speak). I put the potential order in the cart on the day the promotion came out...Monday this week. I decided to order the cart, so I called Tuesday trying to reach the nice sales associate who had sold me a machine this Janury. They get paid commission so that was the least I could do. Will Watson (his hame) wasn&#039;t in on Tuesday. I tried Wednesday (yesterday) and he still wasn&#039;t in. I left him a voice mail and sent him an email yesterday as well. No response. Not to worry, the promotion is good until May 2, 2011 as clearly stated on the print-out of the cart I made. It did indeed state to &quot;see details&quot;. In my mind, that means a description of how long it may take to ship the computer, some items may ship at different dates, etc. In any case, yesterday (the SECOND DAY OF THE 14 DAY PROMOTION), I called again and thought I&#039;d speak to a sales associate about some questions I had about my cart before I finalized it with Will Watson. He strangely didn&#039;t have the same &quot;cart&quot; available on his screen...(the price was several hundred dollars higher than the one I had originated two days prior). Not to worry, I thought I&#039;d get that straightened out when Will Watson called back. He to this minute has not responded. Because of that, I tried to actually place the order this AM without giving Will his commission. The lady I spoke to...in &quot;Concierge&quot; since Will wasn&#039;t available, reviewed an email I sent her of the CART I had printed out two days prior when the promotion came out. She said that unfortunately that promotion had been pulled!  She said she&#039;d try to put the best order she could together for me. Why bother, the guy yesterday had already done that. I asked for a SALES SUPERVISOR. From that point on (one hour and forty-one minutes), I spoke to SHERWIN who was unfortunately in &quot;Business Sales Support&quot; and he&#039;d have to transfer me. I told him I was on hold for a SALES SUPERVISOR. Next, I was put in touch with GUSTAVO. He was a receptionist!  I went through the entire &quot;what is your name, your address, etc.,&quot; with him so he could &quot;properly connect&quot; me. Then I was on hold until AHMED answered the phone. He is a basic customer service man. NOT a supervisor. I told him again I was on hold for a SALES SUPERVISOR. His verbatim words to me, again after being on hold for about 3 more minutes, was &quot;I&#039;m sorry but I spoke to the Sales Team and they said there was nothing they could do&quot;.  That was it. I never got to speak to a Sales Supervisor, and I can now see why. This smacks of the epitome of &quot;bait and switch&quot;. I can understand a promotion being pulled early for whatever reason. However, 2 days into a 14 day promotion...is the definition of &quot;bait and switch&quot;. Also, had I not tried to be loyal to the sales associate who had helped me before there wouldn&#039;t have been ANY delay in my order. This all fell on deaf ears at Dell. APPLE, here I come. Enough is enough. This is over 20 years of, some would say, blind loyalty to Dell. They know how long I&#039;ve been with them and apparently they simply don&#039;t care. That was one of the reasons I asked to speak to a SUPERVISOR. I was unfortunately disallowed to do so by the sales people who surely don&#039;t care they lost just another prospect. Little do they know who they lost today.</description>

		<description>fuck dell and there lies of warranty and support.  I bought a laptop with the full 3 year warranty.  I have had one issue after another.  First I bought it a month before win7 came out.  the product page said it was compatible and when I called tech support I was told it would be no issue to upgrade and would have  effect on my warranty.  Now the computer goes to sleep and does not wake up.  I called tech support and they sent me to paid support that they don&#039;t cover the fact that its win7 and its not a hardware issue.  the techs are rude and they still don&#039;t have drivers for win 7 and this machine.</description>
