Service Tag#C55S0D3, Case#[protected]
I was delivered the laptop on 15th April 2021. I was super excited which didn't last long as there was a problem with the touchpad and immediately I called Dell product support. They tried to trouble shoot which didn't work and then they asked me to go to the Service Center, in Bangalore. For the fault of buying this Dell laptop I took the same to service center risking myself to covid 19 pandemic. The service center attempted to fix my brand new laptop and finally came back and said to call the Dell customer care and ask them to replace as it was not repairable. I called Dell and it was transferred to Product Support desk who informed me that i need to speak to Customer Support. The IVR options in Dell doesn't have customer support desk and it was landing everytime on product support desk. I have called 7 times with 3 emails triggered with all the details as requested by Dell and the result is that, I have been put down by their service representatives rudely. Finally one agent Bharatullah Khan mentioned that I have to dial customer support desk as this is damaged on box opening. Further, there is no IVR option to dial Customer support desk and they have been just fooling me on that. You can refer to call details which are recorded where they kept on transferring me and the call never landed on Customer support desk. I'm awaiting patiently to see how long will it take for some person to be responsive, to provide the details of replacement. Also, product was defective, but, the least I expected was a helpful customer service, which was also not available.
With Dell recognized on international standards would request for a response on the below.
1. Why should a customer wait for replacement of a faulty product for so many days and follow up multiple times.
2. Their processes are very incompetent to identify the customer problem and provide a suitable resolution.
3. Professionalism missing and literally they enjoy making the customer bend down on his kneel (6 calls and 3 mails in 4 days to get info on my laptop)
Finally, I understand that Product can be defective, but customer service and processes also are defective. I hope Dell team works on the flaws and bring out customer centric processes.

Updated by sudhi93 Today I got a call on my case number[protected] from product support team seeking clarification on what customer care spoke to me. I am now sure that product team doesn't speak to Customer care team which is costing the customer a huge price.
