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

Complaint marked as Resolved 
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
