I wish I had read your advice sooner. I too have bought 2 laptops online on the 26th June 2011.. Alienware and Inspiron. When I checked the order status of the laptops 3 days later (30th June 2011) I noticed one had been cancelled. I emailed Dell and received a reply saying it was an error. I was then called by the finance department rep who said they couldn't verify who I was. He said no one answered my home phone and he had trouble calling my mobile which was the phone I was currently speaking to him on. He then ask why I wasn't listed in the phone book, I explained I had a silent number. He then ask me to verify my employment.. I told him I am a night shift worker. He then ask me to supply him with my work email and not the current Yahoo mail i had used during the online order process. I explained I was a blue collar worker and i didn't have the the luxury of a desk and email at my work. I offered him my work number and he said no one answered.. "Well i am a night shift worker" i told him. He then said because of the area I lived in he couldn't allow the delivery of the laptops because of fraudulent activity in my area in recent times implying I had a part of it. More like discrimination i feel. Remember I already paid for the laptops in full. He then ask me to pay for the items again using my personal bank account. I refused saying I already paid for the items. I didn't hear from him again.

I then called Dell later that afternoon on the number I received the call from earlier[protected] which saved in my mobiles received call log. I was then switched to 4 different departments and no one could tell me why 1 laptop had been cancelled and the other was being ship. Everyone was saying it was a payment issue and i explained that I already paid for the laptops. Later in the afternoon I decided to enter into Dell Chatroom where the person there wasn’t any help other than offering me another phone number to call.[protected]. Upon calling the number I spoke to women who told me the issue was I had to prove that the credit card that was used for the order was in fact mine. She emailed me asking for my credit card statement so she could pass it onto the finance department. I promptly sent it to her only to receive an email reply as follows;
Hi M***,

Yes , this is the payment proof that I meant.
No worries, I will forward this email to confirmation team.
For your information Mark ,
I already check with your order with my senior , as per she said it is not only the Inspiron has been cancelled,
It actually both of your order has been cancelled because there has some payment issue.
In addition, because this payment issue we cannot delivered already your order,
The only way from our end can do for you is once I get the response and confirmation from the team we will give the refund for your order

Thank you.

Warm regards,

Absolutely disgusting service would never recommend dell to friends or family and the 20000 nationwide staff I work with. Hopefully they get their act together and before running a million dollar advertising campaign to order online make sure they streamline their ordering process.

Sales person listed Blu-Ray fun bundle in my quote and once I placed my orde he removed that Item from the list. I raised complaint through email immidiately after placing order. He replied through email that I will receive fun bundle with order for sure.

I received my two laptops and fun bundles are not there. Now customer care/sales person are not ready to deliver the fun bundle. Before one week they agreed to deliver fun bundle 7-8 working days but now again they are saying that they will not deliver the fun bundle. Please find below email from your customer care executive. You know very well that each blue ray dvd cost is around 1000rs. I didnt receive 5*2laptops = 10 dvds so think they haven't delivered around 10,000rs cost items. I would say this is fraud, first your sales person attracted me for Blue ray disk because I will get Adventure and fund bundle wiht blue ray disk and now he hasnt delivered blue ray disks...If you want I can send my quote which has fun bundle listed in the item list.

My request number is 8133506


please find below email from Dell I received on 22 Jun.

Dear Mr. Dhaval



This is regarding to the request No: 8133506



As per our conversation, this is to inform you that we will be shipping out 2 set of fun bundles in 7-8 working days.



Please revert for any clarifications.

I purchased dell laptop in april 2011, since then im facing freezing problems in the laptop till now. Right now its june 2011. I showed my laptop to dell service centre, their technical support team. All the time, they ask for formatting the windows and i have done that twice. But, still there is no problem. They are not able to diagnose what is the fault. Each time, calling them and visiting their service center is irritating.

Hi

I am Nikita. I am really disappointed with Dell Laptop. First it crashed. The Service centre replaced the hard-disk. That turned out to be faulty as I got blue screen error and my computer was unexpectedly shutting down. RAM and hard-disk was replaced again. I want my laptop to be replaced. I have had enough with Dell for last 3 weeks.

Hi,



I own an Inspiron N4010 Laptop(Ser Tag: 1CH66BS), But intermittently Iam facing some serious issues on that.....



After one month from the purchase I was facing an issue like system stuck.(I won' be able to even end task- only way I should do a force



shutdown to get back to the old stage)



Initially I registered Complaint in Online support they provided me some tips.that didn't work.



So I took lap to the Service centre The said it is a OS issue. They were not ready to accept



the laptop even for OS change also... The reason They said , The laptop I purchase without OS.



So they will not be able to do the service on That.... How ever it is a product from Dell(Whether with OS or without OS) at least they could



have do some testing.



Then after few months I approached dell support again for the same issue....



The given me updated graphics driver link and BIOS link... I did all that installation and update



Then the stuck issue have solved for few weeks....



Then it was started to give blue screen error every day twice or thrice



Again I contacted to dell support team, they made me on hold few min and



they transferred the call two or three sections... finally the call got disconnected.. After



that I was keep on calling to your tall free number there was no reply from the dell team



my warranty is going to expire within few months.. I heard that dell is best for after sale service.



So I preferred to go with dell.



But now I am not satisfied with my laptop... I don' think that dell want their customer to be unhappy ...



So I am looking forward for your positive support ASAP ie, permanent solution from the problem which i am facing........



Regards

and they said that the 2 nd genration laptop will cost u 6000 to 8000 extra.......
and it will come only for xps laptop only not for inspiron laptop ........
but i chek in internet about the 2 nd genration laptop but only 1500rs extra
and i firkedout when i saw in internet............

I am a regular customer of dell, I have purchased 2 Laptops
already, this is the 3rd laptop i am purchasing. I am very sorry to
say that the service very poor...
they promised me that there will be replace laptop .
"Pathetic, Non abiance for Commitment, poor service"
and i given the complain to the dell coustomer care....
but no replay ......Poor Service and Dissatisfaction

i request u to replace the laptop to me ..........

I bought the Inspiron 14R with 1 GB of ATI graphics three months ago. Th service tag for my purchased system is: DTBN6BS

Since the very first week i have been facing problems with total freezing and crashing of the laptop. Dell support identified it as a hard disk defect and replaced the hard disk.

But even after that my laptop continueed to freeze frequently and unexpectedly. Dell support then identified it as a motherboard issue and offered to replace the motherboard.

I asked Dell to replace my laptop as it was a brand new purchase with defects. Since making the request i have received absolutely no response from Dell. I have tried communicating to them in every possible way, but they are just not responding.

For past three months i am stuck with a malfunctioning laptop and Dell is doing nothing about it. I am highly disappointed with Dell support and service. Also, I now know that this is a common problem with Inspiron laptops. Dell has been shipping these faulty laptops since last one year and has still not done any quality control for the same.

jab se hamne aap ko system wapas le kar hamara refund claim kiya hai tab se hame aap ke sabhi department se hame niglet kiya ja raha hai.
kya hamne DELL company pe bharosa kiya yeh hamari galti hai ?

agar aap hame hamare system ke badle me dusra system replace kar ke dete hai to hame koi shikayat nahi, uske liye koi charges hai to woh ham paid karne ke liye agreed hai.

Dear Sir,

My name is A.V.G.Rao, I am working as Section Officer in Indian
Railways, posted in New Delhi. I had very bad experience while booking
your product. I was totally bluffed by your sale representative. I am
giving total my interaction eith your authorised representative.

On 07/06/2011 I called your common booking tele number to book my
order. I was connected to one Sales representative named Mr. Chahat
Ahuja. He told me if I will pay by credit card my product will be
delivered by 12/06/2011. I went for payment through Net banking i.e.
EFT from my Axis Bank account. The representative told me that as I
have paid by EFT it will be late to realise money so it is tough to
deliver by 12/06/2011, but I will try to get it delivered by Monady. I
told him I am going out of New Delhi on 19/06/2011. He laughed and
said it will be delivered much before.

When I called him in the morning of 13/06/2011, he said it will be
delivered tomorrrow, he again cheated me. Then I called your customer
care and one Female executive named Mis Aruna attended me and said it
will be delivered by 20/06/2011, that means this Sales executive again
cheated me.

Today at 11 am Blue dart people came for delivery, when I checked that
name on packet is different then he excused me and went back to bring
my packet. Now I am amazed to see that the seal is broken this
delivery boy inssisted to take the delivery. I refused to take
delivery of opened packet.
Now I feel offended with this kind of service, so please cancell my
order as I lost trust in your product and in your organisation. Please
refund my money.

Hi,

I have DELL Inspiron 1420 with the defective NVIDIA graphic card 8400. The good news is that Dell have acknowledged the defect in your laptop and that can be found here:-
http://nvidiasettlement.com/pdfs/NVF_NOT.pdf

I purchased on Aug 26th 2008. It failed on April 21st 2011. Not When I called Dell customer care, they are telling that they cant replace it.. But DELL has supplied defective card, at least they should inform us with mails or phone. They dint do anything and now when I ask, they are not providing the right help.

Please let me know what to do.

Thanks.

The heat transfer from processor is very poor. The core temperature goes to 98 degree celsius. It may burn out the motherboard any time. The processor is at center of the motherboard, the processor is connected with a copper metal to the heatshrink to which fan is connected. The fan is at left side with heatshrink. The copper metal transfer the insufficiant heat to the heatshrink. The fan does not cooling the processor directly, as the processor is connected to the heatshink with the copper metal with a distance 4 inch in length. If motherboard or processor will burn out, may be after warranty period, then what I will do at that moment. The design fault is made by the company, but I will be sufferer.

i bought a dell streak phone from delhi in may... now m at nagpur.. it has problem with sound.. no sound in calls.. cant talk therefore. i at DEll Service center, nagpur contacted the person and asked for replacement of handset due to this hardware problem. but i dont get proper response. i cant use the phone at all and facing acute problem.

Self had purchased Laptop from DELL with Service tag 4WKZ6BS. Laptop had laminations on the LCD display and the hinge locations.Suprisingly when laminations were removed after 4months of delivery it was observed that one of the hinges for the LCD screen is broken. The same was intimated to DELL customer care many times and they say that the laptop do not have hardware warranty and requesting me to pay extra money for their quality issue. Also laptop had issue of badsectors and laptop was getting heated very frequently. This issue was resolved by local service center during May-2011.
I am totally surprised and doubt about DELL that do they really have quality systems now......

Request your help to resolve the issue.

I bought Dell Inspiron 6 months ago, ordered it online from their HO located at Bangalore. Before buying the laptop , the sales person was going crazy following up with me & promised me a onsite service for a period of one year.

Within 6 months , my laptop started giving me a problem. Machine used to freeze up & fan started working very fast with a very loud noise . In this situation nothing works ( not even ctrl+ Alt+ Del) & i m left with no other option except switching off the machine from on/off button.

Dell Customer Care works only monday to friday ( 9am-6pm). So , practically they think that their products should be bought by housewives / unemployed people.

I called their Customer care at least 6 times.These people do not give their mobile numbers &say either call up on toll free number or send a email & they would call back.If you call up on centralized number you will have to explain ur problem to a new person every time you call.

I sent them a email 4 times , even then no one called back !!!

Pls note, They would also refuse to turn up at ur place for the service , stating that they will only give a remote assistance & will visit ur place in case a part needs to be replaced.

After fighting for long , when i found that nothng will happen i agreed but even then no one has called back till date.

Dell is the most pathetic product that you can ever think of buying. Their poducts start troubling you within 6 months & you would not get a After Sale Service also despite of being promised.

So , better beware before buying a Dell Product.

I have bought my dell studio 1558 on November 2010. After a month my turbo boost was stop working. Since i was busy with my studies, i didnt give much importance to tat. after tat when i contacted them , they told me to reinstall the drivers and OS too. i did it.. but still it didnt work. when i came back home on Holidays on JUNE 1. i contacted them. They were connecting to my Laptop through Internet, tried their best to resolve it.. my processor i5 450m has 2.4ghz normal mode and 2.[protected]@ turbo mode. i was contacting them daily and explain the problem each time. But atlast supervisor talk to me. They were trying to avoid this problem by saying tat it will work only when i installed heavy software. still now they did give the solution. i asked i have paid for tat laptop so tat they should replace it because i didnt get the required output. but they turn it down and cut the call. i need a solution for my laptop. It is still has warranty... they dont the value of the money! :'(

On 31st May 2011 I had complaint to dell call center about the problem in my laptop. My is complaint no
7098980 . I have called many a times in the call center but for no response , I have wasted Rs.500/- on my mobile bill simply to talk to the expert in their call center

Sir,
i would like to kindly bring to your notice that i purchased a Dell Inspiron 15R core i5 on october 2010. It was working fine untill a few months back when my system suddenly crashed. I turned it back on and after a system restore procedure it started working again. but shortly after it crashed again and repetitive attempts at turning it on could not get it started again. i left it that way and later started it again. Windows did load but the desktop seemed to have been corrupt somehow. Anyways i restarted it again and this time it all worked out properly. But after this event my laptop kept crashing on several occassions, sometimes it simply failed to start. A few of my softwares became corrupted and i had to uninstall them. I reinstalled them later on but they didn't work even then. Recently my antivirus (McAfee Security Center) stopped working. It failed to scan any component of the system.
I am at a loss here. I had purchased Dell hoping it to be one of the very best in laptop manufacturing companies but such problems has shriveled such hopes. My laptop is still under warranty and i would like to have these problems sorted out.
