Dell India Complaints & Reviews

My dell streak was brought in U.S and i am using it in India (Indore) , The problem is that i am not able to charge it and i have got international warranty . I have called to your toll free number, And they suggested that i have to buy a Indian warranty plus i have to pay for the socket by which the charging is done .It is very suprising that a company like Dell has a different rule in India .And i am not getting any proper response from the customer care
here is the Receipt of your Cell Phone Purchase with the total amount paid : $319.95.

Regards
Shikha

Always defective booting. Any time blank screen, memory Loss, system pack up. Always some sort of Hardware or software problems. Very Low Speaker Sound. Totally unreliable.

I had bought Dell XCD35 smartphone from Flipkart.com on 28/4/2011. It came with android2.1. So I got it upgraded at dell service centre at Kanpur to android 2.2. But even after this upgrade flash player was not working. So I re-brought the handset at the service centre where Mr. Rishi (in-charge of service centre) could not fix it but instead asked me to submit the phone so that he could send it to Dell Service at Bangalore from where he said I would get a new replacement in 2 weeks time. He assured me that the firmware update that is missing will be corrected and I will get new handset with android2.2. So I submitted it with him on 25/6/2011 against complaint id: 8245.
At 2 weeks he didnt call me or tell me whether my relacement is ready or not. So I had to call him and then he told me that my replacement has already arrived and I can pick it up.
On reaching the service centre, he showed me the replacement set which had abrasions, chrome lining was scratched and looked a very old set as compared to my set which was totally new, hardly 1.5 months old, without any scratches or abrasions. Also it was android 2.1 and Mr. Rishi told me that for some reasons he wasn't able to upgrade it to android 2.2
This clearly showed that my problem was not solved at all as probably any phone supporting flash should have come with android 2.2
I refused to accept the set. They promised me to give me a new sealed set. What followed was my nemesis. The Dell authorities were least instead in solving my issues. I had to repeatedly call them (even their In-charge at Bangalore) to atleast return my set even if the problem wasnt solved. More than a month after I finally received my handset (replaced) which was android 2.1. The flash support is still not working even after upgrading to android 2.2. This goes to show that Dell is only be fooling new customers by taking their new phones and replacing them with refurbished sets. They even took my original battery as a condition for exchange with supposedly new set which was not as the set I received had its seal broken. Also there is some dust mark on its internal screen. When I asked how to remove that mark the local service incharge, Mr Rishi, said that he will have to resend it to Bangalore and no commitment regarding when it will come back...

Dell Mobile is totally befooling people by making false service claims. They cant explain to me that why they took my set, kept it with themselves for more than 1 month, and replace it with a refurbished set without the problem solved. If the problem was not to be solved then why did they take the set?

I bought a Dell cell during the month of March and within 2 months the working condition of the cell was very bad, so I went to Dell service center in Chennai and there they agreed that there was a manufacturing defect and promised to replace me with another cell. They told it will be replaced within 15 days but whenever I contacted them through phone or went directly, their reply was a constant one saying that it will be received within 2-3 days. I am fed up with this answer. I am even willing to buy a new model at some more cost but they are not giving any proper answer. I bought the Dell cell over others due to your name in laptops but I did not expect this poor service from you people. Now i have been put to a position o[censored]sing my old cell which does not have access to see my mails in regards to my business. I am even unable to buy a new one also.

I regret to inform you that as a new & 1st time customer of DELL I am totally unsatisfied because of poor product quality, incessant problems and horrible customer care. The laptop I m using having service tag no 6ZG1CQ1 which I bought 3 to 4 months back but from the day one itself I got no’s of problems with it as mentioned below
1. Laptop start up time almost one hour
2. Battery back up
3. Hard disk error
Everything is defective. When I tried to register the problem with DELL customer care , I dint get proper response and solution to my queries. From the 1st day even I complained for battery they didn’t respond, then when I informed them that from starting day itself it is taking more than 1 hour to start they told it’s a minor problem. They told to format it where they didn’t inform me that I will be losing MS office, when I complained they just said DELL will be not responsible. After that again also I faced problem for starting then they informed it’s a hard disk problem. I think DELL customer care is totally waste, as I am completely fade off with that your customer care officer told me that they will not able to do anything if it is a defective piece also. As per their statement once in 100 we can have a defective piece which is supplied to me and they are helpless. He simply disconnected the call. I lost every valuable document because of your defective laptop and your customer service is worst. Now your customer service officers are disconnecting my call without replying. As the Laptop is very new and under warranty, please replace my laptop with new else refund my money.

I WAS a great friend of Dell products.
I always suggested and purchased dell products till now,Dell had unmatched service till I ordered for a battery.
I purchased an Inspiron 1564 (1KYV4BS) laptop from dell in feb 2010, everything was fine with that .
In Jan 2011 I face some backup issue with my battery , I called Dell they asked me to update the bios, I did that It helped me a little.
In March my battery completely broke down .
I asked dell for quotation in july, I got a quotation on 15 July from GAZAL Dhingra ([protected]@dell.com) stating that there is only one battery left and I have to make the urgent payment to get the battery.
I did the same and mailed the details to dell (GAZAL). But after that I didn’t receive any call or reply from dell. I called a number of times to dell but evet time they give me a PARROT answer “We are extremely sorry from dell and your problem will be sort out” but all in vain. Then one day I got a call from Dell on 25-26 July saying that my payment has not been received to dell.
On 25-26 august I somehow managed to talk to their manager ,he assured me that dell will call me back about the matter but no call, no mail.
I was just shocked I called Dell on 28 stating all the matter but nothing happened.
Will anybody at dell will tell me that what they have done with my Rs 3000.00 and will they deliver the battery or not.

Hello,

This is a very serious note, regarding issues associated with Dell Studio 1558 model.

My Dell Laptop Service Code is G3L86BS.

I purchased this laptop in July 2010, with the hope of excellent performance and support. But the truth is that its full of bugs.
Since my purchase, my system crashes on daily basis.

I have regularly contacted tech support via phone and also sent tons of emails regarding the problem, but the problem still exists. I have patiently followed all company processes and I have tried all software testing driver updates, got my Hard Disk, RAM, and Motherboard replaced but still no use.

I have contacted Dell with email for 30-40 times, and with phone 30-40 times.

I have asked for laptop replacement everytime I phoned to tech support but dell's customer has a bunch of bluffing people who keep assuring that soon your query will be solved without replacement. And the truth is that all my mails are just hovering from one point to another, without being look after.

They have changed my ram, hdd and 3 times motherboard. In the last time of motherboard change they said it the problem still persists then we will replace the laptop. And still they are not replacing it.

I extremely fed up of all continuous experiments with my system, updates and device hardware replacement.
The problems are still existing and its causing me daily financial losses.

After a long awaited patience I want a REPLACEMENT of my model.

Dell is really un-serious toward my problem. I am completely fed up now. I want results, no more excuses now.
Here in the forum of Dell clearly states the same exact problem which I am facing with the same laptop:
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3519/p/19335401/19708124.as...⇄

I am facing lot of financial loss, time loss and data loss. And no one there at DELL understands this. :( :(
This is extremely sad and irritating. :(
I want Complete REPLACEMENT of the laptop. Its still in Warranty and I cannot work on faulty laptop.

Angry customer,
Akash

I had purchased a mobile DELL XCD28 on 16/12/2011 from M/S. S. H. Mumtazuddin & Co., Kolkata, but I highly regret to state that since the date of purchase I have been facing several problems with this handset.

The defects are as under:

Low Battery Backup
Hanging Problem
Randomly Switch OFF within 5-10 minutes while calling or answering a call.

For rectification of this problem, I had approached one of the Service Centres od DELL at Park Plaza Building, 71, Park Street, Kolkata - 16. Upon investigation by the said Service Centre Executives it was found out that it was a manufacturing defect of the Company and the handset was replaced by a new one.

Just after 5-10 days, the same problems were repeated and again I had to go to the Service Centre. The Executive told me that they have received a lot of complaints about this handset and the company has stopped manufacturing this handset. He also told me that he has a last piece left and assured me that the problem won't be repeated and replaced the handset again with a new one.

But to my greatest surprise, I could not believe that a Company like DELL could do this. The same problems were observed on the very same day. Infact, this replaced handset RESTARTED much frequently than the previous phones although there was NO HANGING PROBLEM.

Meanwhile, I have come across several reviews of this handset on the INTERNET and I could not see a single person appreciating this handset. In fact, everyone is facing the same problem which I have been facing since the date of purchase.

Now, I am completely frustrated with this phone (DELL XCD28) and would request the company to provide a permanent remedy to this problem or direct the dealer to refund the cost of the mobile.

respected sir,
i like to bring one big problem in my lapi in your focus,that its processing speed is to slow even slower then p4.my processor is i5 so i was expecting it to be faster then p4 but unfortunately i m not satisfied with your dell product at all...................pls help me on this sir.

I have booked dell laptop on dt: 04/07/2011 by paying total cash from Dell company outlet Panjim Goa, and was assured within 10 days delivery time.

On 08/07/2011 I had called up Dell customer care and they told me that on 08/07/2011 they received the payment at Dell Chennai. and assured me the delivery in 4 to 5 days. Then 11/07/2011 i received mail from one Mr. Anil De'souza cfom Dell committing the delivery on or before 28/07/2011. See the difference difference in commitments. Then on 16/07/2011 today when i called up Dell Panjim Goa, they are telling me that today they are going to ship the laptop from Chennai to Goa via Mumbai and committed me the delivery on dt:19/07/2011.

Every time i call i get false commitments from Dell and because of this i have drooped my plan of going for one more Dell laptop and the desktop.

Regards,

Even if you buy an official version of the Windows OS & MS Office from Dell they will not send you the CD's; you will not be informed about this. So if you want to format the computer yourself you will not be able. The sales people are poorly trained and are just interested in closing the deal. They take the money in advance so they are least interested in resolving any of your problems later. There is no direct complaint forum in terms of mail id or phone numbers. Read every line in the quote and check the same is included in your Invoice or you will be cheated on the name of best deals.

Hello Sir

I purchased a Dell Inspiron 15R (Service tag: 4D6M5BS) one year back and its warranty period expired on[protected].During warranty period ,two times there was Hard disk issue .Both times Service centre has replaced the hard disk.
But now just after the end of warranty period, again the same problem came. When I approached Service centre (Chennai) they are asking 14000Rs for repairing the laptop. They are adamant that they will not replace or repair laptop with out paying this much amount. I don’t know what to do. Customer care also not helping.

First of all I did a mistake by buying a Dell Laptop. But I never expected this much poor Customer service from a World class company.

I will never recommend Dell to anyone here after.

Hi, have submitted for Pf withdrawal in january 2011 PF no KN/BN/24960/14275
Still no response . Whenever we contact dell we receive message tocontact pf department when we check status it ether says invalid or inactive there .

Tried calling on number of Pf department , no response ... keeps on ringing.

This is the height of insensitivity...

Peoples money has to be refunded , not be kept pending.

The court will soon be involved if no acton is taken .
