Dear Sir,

Re; Complaint No. Case ID 1905581 Dt. 5th May, 2009

This is to inform you as under:-

1. That a Laptop “Dell Inspiron 1545, Blue, 3GB, 320 GB, Vista Premium” was purchased by me on 23/04/2009 for Rs. 42500/- vide Invoice NO. LT/S/09-10/S1/147 Book No. 3 Dt. 23/04/2009 from your Exclusive Show Room at NOIDA
2. That since I was not satisfied with the laptop I requested your showroom people to return it and give me credit voucher as is permissible as per Dell’s Return Policy-India, 2002 as published on your website. They point blankly refused to listen to me and referred me to Your official Sh. Sandeep Narula.
3. I contacted Sh. Narula and explained him the facts, who assured me to reply shortly. However inspite of more than 100 calls at his cell No. [protected], and mails to his Dell, s ID( the log of which is available with me and will be produced at an appropriate time), he could not give me any reply. My email to Mr. Narula Dt. 1st May is enclosed for your ready reference.
4. Since Sh. Narula assumed no responsibility to satisfy the customer(which in itself is very very derogatory on part of a Company like Dell), I made a complaint on line to your [protected]@dell.com on 5/5/09 and got an automatic reply on 6/5/09 with RE care ID- 1905581. I had to remind again on 8/5/09 for a reply.
5. On 11/5/09, your people asked me provide Service Tag number, which after ascertaining I wrote to them on 12/5/09. the Service Tag no was J9G13BS.
6. You have such a battery of Intelligent people who after such a long exchange of emails, again asked me on 13/5/09 “ Please let us know the issue to take it forward.”
7. I again told them the issue on 13/5/09 as is evident from the enclosed papers.
8. Then on 15/5/09, your people told me that “Return Policy- India is not applicable for the retail purchase” meaning thereby that I am bound to suffer as I have purchased the laptop from your Exclusive show Room and not from you over net.
9. On 15/05/09 I asked them the name, email and phone no of your Incharge India to make a complaint to him. Your so sharp team could send me a reply on 22/5/09 at 13.17 under RE- case ID 1905581 directing me to write to

Mr Ravinder,

Thanks for writing your complaint over this website and this is an eyeopener for me. As, I was planning to visit NOIDA DELL showroom for purchasing new laptop within 2-days.

But after going through your complaint, needless to say, that I have dropped this idea for purchasing DELL.

I request you, If DELL guy do not address your concern than definitely go for legal action against these people.

Keep update.

Thanks,
Kinshuk
Dear Ravinder,

You Should escalate this complaint to various online complaint websites so that the people may not fool the consumers like you and me.

Dell India Pvt ltd — Online Order Commitment Not Fullfilled Due To Price Change

I booked Dell Laptop through their online booking system on 3rd Feb 2010. They acknowledged the order with message " One of our sales representative will be in contact you within next 24 business hours on telephone number you have provided below". They never called me. Today i.e. on 8th Feb I contacted through customer care number they said your order will be supplied Only against Upward revised price as per enclosed New Quotation. I think this is not a business.

DELL — Dell is not follow their own terms and conditions

I have just purchased a Dell Inspiron before 40 days. And started to getting hardware errors.
As per terms and conditions they replace the system within 30 days from date of purchase. Also they were aggree to replce the system.

But now they are saying they will only replace the HDD and also I need to pay for Windows 7 again. I got licence copy of Windows 7 with Core i3 Dell Inspiron. I don't understand what's the need to repay for licence version again.

Dell is not good at all.

Santosh J.
I totally agree with you, that Dell is not their own terms and conditions

Dear Kishore,
Please let me have the next committed date. I on behalf of my organization where all my people working for me using DELL, assure you that we would never buy DELL product in future. I salute to the entire DELL team in India for bullying a customer like me being fooled.
Please let me have your next delivery date as usual what you're giving me for last 2 months.

Sampath - Fail to understand why do DELL mention this big message " Customer feedback | How am I doing? Please contact my manager: [protected]@dell.com " Do you really know and understand as how Kishore is doing or these lines are just for sake of keeping it & assuring the customer with your irresponsible and unethical commitments.

Mr Sampath,
I am still waiting for the battery to be delivered to me as committed by your team. It looks that Dell India has become a team of irresponsive bureaucrats who only promises but do not deliver.
Do you realize that i had ordered for the battery on 12th October and its 10th of January today and i am still not been updated about the delivery from your team.

I am trying desperately to get Naveen and Kishore on phone but its not being answered.
Please let me know if at all i am getting the battery or not. In case i am not getting it, please credit the amount back in my account with interest which i paid through my credit card.

Dear Sampath,
Trailing mails are self explanatory. I am absolutely fed up in chasing Kishore for last 1 month to know the status of my product delivery (9C battery) and till to date he has not bothered to inform me where do my delivery status stands. As per my today's discussion with Naveen (my order no given by Naveen as[protected], he has assured me that Kishore would get back on phone to tell me the exact status for which i am still doubtful.
It seems that you people are taking customer for a ride and absolute bother less to reply.
I strongly state that this is going to be my last chasing mail and incase i don't get any reply from your side, I will have no option but to take a legal recourse.

Dear Kishore,
You were to call me as per below mail but i am still waiting & looks you are sleeping over the issue. It is 7th today and your response is as late as your supply. It is shocking and shameful that DELL doesn't meet its supply commitment in spite of taking full money as advance. It is height of irresponsibility and lethargy and taking the customer for a ride.
Can i know the reason and status other wise i will have no option but to take legal recourse.

Dear Kishore,
I have been chasing to get you on phone but have not been successful. Want to know the status of my order which was done on 11th October and the product was to be delivered in 3-4 weeks. Now its 10th week and i still do not have any update.
I definitely do not expect this culture from an organization like DELL. Nobody had a courtesy to even call me incase the order is being delayed instead I have been chasing you people for the status.
Please let me know if some action from your side is been taken urgently failing which i shall be forced to send you the legal notice.

Dear Naveen,
I have confirmed for 9C battery instead of 6C battery where in you and your team in tele conference have confirmed me that 9C battery can be fitted in my Laptop as the size of both the battery is same.
Kindly rectify your order with 9C battery. In addition to that, you have told me the total value of 9C battery inclusive of all taxes as Rs6000/-. Moreover I am surprised as to why are you asking me the mode of payment when I've already paid the full amount by providing you my Visa credit card details over the telephone yesterday i.e.11-10-10

Please clarify.

DELL HAS RAPIDLY DETERIOTED IN SERVICE.

JUST LIKE IN USA, WHERE STUDENTS PUT A BOARD OUTSIDE THEIR DORM ROOM "DELL SUCKS"

IT SEEMS DELL IS FOLLOWING THE SAME PATH IN INDIA ALSO.

DELL IS EXTREMELY RUDE PEOPLE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE.

DELL INDIA — Non-refund of amount due

Through one of my friend, a Dell make Laptop was purchased from Dell Computers in USA and bought to Delhi. I have approached Dell India for extending warranty and ongoing service support. The Customer Service of Dell computers have agreed for the same and asked me to pay Rs.15,000/- for the same, which I agreed and the same was paid through by Axis Bank Credit Card. However, to my surprise the company informed me after a weeks time that the said product cannot be supported in India since it was a recent launch in USA. The company have agreed to refund the amount paid to them. The amount was paid to them on October 17, 2011 and it is more than a month now - still the company has not refunded the said amount to me. I seek your assistance in directing the company to refund the amount with interest and penalty for not honouring their commitment.

Another cheat he has done he told me that his laptop has the warranty of 1 and haf year but now when i checked it on dell websie its showing my laptop has the warranty only for 1 year...how can the cheat like this please go through it and try to resolve my issue...
