[Resolved]  Dell — replacement issue

Address:Patna, Bihar

i purchased a all in one inspiron one 19 desktop from dell in september 2010. it came with three year onsite warranty. since august 2012 it started giving problem to which the company attended but the break down became so frequent that i had to register complaint almost daily and it became totally impossible to use the system. so i demanded that they should replace the system to which they agreed but later on they put one condition that "i will have to provide them with road permit. i tried to get the road permit but in the process i came to know that it is not possible to get road permit by an individual for isolated one item. so i informed them regarding this and requested them to deliver the system through their dealer in patna and i will bear the cost for the amount they spend on road permit. they rejected the demand and suggested that i should receive the system in some other state where road permit is not required. so gave an address of delhi but then they put another demand that i will have to give road permit for the pickup of the old system. then i requested them to make the system functional some because it was not possible for me to get the road permit. they tried to service it but could not make it functional. then informed me that they will replace the system as they are unable to fix the problem , at that time i told them about the problem i had faced earlier in getting the road permit. i also told the supervisor clearly that i wont be able to provide the road permit as i have already tried for two months earlier, in reply he said don't worry this time we will not trouble you. but again they are again asking me for road permit.
so now i think they are trying to linger the issue till the expiry of the warranty. warranty is expiring in sept.2013. i am hopeful you will help. regards

Dear Sir,
I have been going through the same harassment.
I purchased Dell Inspiron 15R about 2 weeks back from Gurgaon and came back to Ranchi the other day.
Soon I realized that the laptop has poor battery backup, poor functioning touch pad and with electric vibration on its surface.
I sent a mail to Dell Support but received no reply. Then I called up their help line and after two days they offered to replace the system.
I further waited for 5 days but didn't receive any call further. I again reminded them and finally received a call from dell representative dealing my case.
As the representative heard I am at Jharkhand he asked to get a road permit made for the pickup and delivery. This is rubbish.
Why should I at all be liable to pay this if it is anyways required? This is more of a botheration than a service from the side of Dell.

May I please know what has happened finally to your case?

Can consumer complain forum help me out in my issue too?
The case in brief is as below:
- I purchased this laptop on 26th June evening from Gurgaon and left to Ranchi, Jharkhand on 27th.
- Later I came across 3 issues in the laptop, the poor battery, electrical vibrations on the surface and poor touch pad functioning.
- I contacted Dell through mail they didn't reply. Then called up their customer care and they offered the system replacement.
- I waited further for 5 days but didn't receive any conversation from their end. I called them again and the person dealing my replacement case responded me finally. He asked me to visit local sales tax office for the some road permit which should be 5% of the purchase value.
- As an alternative he asked to get the replacement done from Delhi, or Haryana if I don't wish to pay for the aforesaid charges.
- As the other alternative, go for the part replacement, which is really rubbish for a brand new piece.

Paying 5% (about 2500/- ) would be really painful and not acceptable to me.
I should not be liable to go for all such formalities taking a leave from office.
Are they serving to their clients or harassing them?

Sir, I would be grateful to you if something can be done in this regard.
