Very UGLY customer care!!! only asking for re-instating 4 days expired reward, they will entertain at first, after they heard my side the first rep. he said he will transfer me to other department, but he hang up. I called again, a lady answered she let me tell my side, samething happened, told me to transfer me to the right department but the call went back to the answering machine. Had to call again, the 3rd guy is absolutely the worst, he had no patience to listen to me and just say NO! No! and angrily said GOODBYE! I am a dell customer for morethan 10 yrs and I am shocked the way their represetative bahave towards their loyal customers

If I could give NO Stars I would! However to write my review I'm required to give "1 Star'! PLEASE READ REVIEWS PRIOR TO PURCHASING FROM A COMPANY!!! Dell had NO problem taking my order and charging my credit card. The rep's customer service was Superior. HUH!!!! Upon receiving my Monitor I purchased and having a multitude of problems with getting it connected to my laptop - that was another issues!! It was as thou I was speaking a totally different language when trying to get assistance. From doing everything I was told to connecting the Monitor (which I was under the impression was simple), I purchased various cables, HDMI, etc. Spent time and gas traveling back/forth to Best Buy and other electrical stores coupled with having a friend that's a Tech Guy Fed-Ex a cable that should've worked with No Problem - I was STILL unable to receive a signal. ALLL to find out - Dell sent me a Monitor that didn't work!! Broken! Faulty!! As I called to inform the Tech Dept of this - and to go over the proceedures to connect the system for the 5th time, the Tech Guy stated there must be something wrong . Huhhhhhh YESSSSS!! I would think so!! At that point - I requested a Refund. As I followed ALL instructions to send the monitor back - in the box it was sent to me in - wrapped up correctly. Dell stated they'd send FedEx to my home to pick it up within 3 days. After waiting 7 days - No FedEx. I called Dell back and they said - they'll send them again. SMH After waiting another 3 days - NO FedEx. I then called FedEx directly and a Supervisor sent them out the next day. Hold on - there's MORE!!! I called Dell a week later to confirm they received the monitor and they tell me I need to wait ANOTHER 7-15 Days for them to log the monitor in to indicate it was received on they're end. I provide them the tracking number stating it was indeed received within those 7 days. I'm then placed on hold for 35mins just for someone to return on the phone to say - I need to still WAIT another 7 days and "I'm to call THEM back" to verify it was indeed received. UNBELIEVABLE!!! After 7 days elapsed I call Dell back - just to be PUT ON HOLD ANOTHER 35 mins to repeat my entire HORRIFIC ORDEAL. I plead to speak with a Supervisor ONLY to be informed they've received the monitor HOWEVER I STILL need to wait ANOTHER 7-14 Days to RECEIVE MY REFUND - due to Dell needs to (get this one) "Make sure the Monitor has been returned in good condition"!!! I can't make this ish up!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! Now - I'm 2 months into this Tragedy and I'm STILLLLL WAITING ON MY REFUND!!!! STILLLLLLL!! I've since purchase a beautiful 27inch monitor from HP that arrived to my home within "2 days" of purchasing that works IDEAL!! It's AWESOME!! I wouldn't purchase A N Y T H I N G from Dell - EVER in this life or the afterlife!! Even if I was at GUN POINT - I would NEVER PURCHASE FROM DELL!!!

I ordered a keyboard and mouse from Dell. Their creditcard booking system claimed it failed to book my payment, despite it being visible as reserved on my creditcard. I then paid by direct bank transfer and sent them confirmation. 10 days later my order was still not processed. I then tried to contact them. Dell is not reachable by email or chat, they can only be reached by calling their support line, which is nonsensical and annoying to navigate. After multiple calls I managed to reach a person, who could only tell me that my creditcard payment did not go through. They said they would look into it.. Let's see what happens now. (The person in the customer service center also clearly does not enjoy their job, I wonder why..)

Worst customer service in the world ? Never buy from these people. Wrong specification of laptop delivered and more than a week later with numerous phone calls, chats and four e-mails not even the courtesy of an acknowledgement other than a stressed person on the phone telling me ''sorry, its been escalated to marketing''

Its there a worst experience that one can have with a company customer service? I do not think so. I really ashame and feel stupid to have puchased from this company. All there customer service are in another country, mainly India. They have little or no uderstanding of the english language, saying words and ubderstaing a conversation are two different things. I call and after a brief conversation they place you on hold and never come back. And this is not just one person but just about everyone. Called about 8 times over 4 days and the same result. Transferred from department to department with no help. This must be a planned response and Dell management in the USA must know about the level of their customer service and do not care. It cannot be so bad without them being aware of it. I will not buy from dell nor accept anything fre from Dell

I purchased a computer and monitor from Dell. It was delivered to the incorrect address and as of now two weeks later, Dell customer care has not been able to reroute the computer and monitor to my correct address. Dell customer care is by far the worst service in any business.

Wish I would have checked these reviews prior to ordering. Product was being sold as a dual monitor bundle with stand. Only received monitor. No second monitor not even the stand. I have contacted customer care and have not had any luck getting this issue resolved.

When I tried to place my first order, I was originally quoted for it to arrive on the 14th of October. Then the laptop order was cancelled. Then I had to go through a lengthy process of figuring out why it was cancelled, only to find out that it was because a single was not available and that if I upgrade it, then I can have the laptop. So I upgrade, pay for a more expensive laptop, get the order date of October 29th and now find out that it has been delayed again for two more weeks. I have now been trying to get a hold of someone from Dell for the past 2 hours. I have made three calls and 2 online chats. I was put on hold for half an hour and dropped, I have been hung up on twice, the number they gave me to call back on was some number where if you kept hitting the pound button it offers you different credit card options, and had both chats closed on me with no resolutions. I have not been rude or hostile and I have been treated atrociously. (See both saved transcripts below.) I really like Dell Products but I will never purchase a product from them again. This experience has taken up so much of my time and energy. OH! And I cannot cancel my order because it is at the "shipping threshold."  Megan (10/26/2020, 12:06:17 PM): Chat with Live Agent Chilupuri R (10/26/2020, 12:07:29 PM): Thank you for contacting Dell Customer Care chat.

I bought a Dell G7 7700 gaming laptop. The 3-month-old laptop works fine, especially for the price compared to the competition but when it comes to brass tacks, customer service is just as (or more) important than the product you are buying. So I would suggest to never buy a Dell product because Dell’s customer service is the worse experience I have ever had in my life. Here is my Dell customer service experience in a nutshell: A sales representative calls me to sell me a warranty extension and tells me that I will only be charged the difference because I had already purchased a 1-year accidental damage warranty on my Dell G7 7700 gaming laptop. However, she charged me the full amount as if I did not already purchase a warranty. When I notice this issue (the next day) I proceeded to contact customer service to either refund me the difference or to cancel my warranty extension purchase entirely. Unbeknownst to me, I was in for a nightmare! Every agent I spoke with advised me that my issue could only be resolved with another department and then they would proceed to cold transfer me there. Every time a new agent from a different department answered they would ask for my credentials, ask me to repeat my issue, and then advise me they had to transfer me another department. When I got transferred, it was either back to the department I was speaking with at first, or I was transfer to a busy signal or dead air. In the latter cases, I had to call Dell back and repeat the process. This went on for over 4 hours. It got so ridiculous and predicable that I decided to record my last experience. My recording exceeded 1.5 hours. In the recording I requested to speak to managers, these managers advise me that they would warm transfer me to the other department and speak with the agent to ensure they could help before I spoke to them, but when the other agent answered, they had no idea I was transferred to them. The last representative I spoke to was a manager, and he just put me on mute and disappeared from the conversation. Again, I have most of this recorded and I was quite respectful on my end, considering I wasted hours of my life on trying to solve the simple issue of a being wrongfully charged for a warranty extension. In the end, my problem was not solved and the last agent I spoke to was the manager that put me on mute. As well, I discuss my issue via Dell’s chat an email options. But they too advised me that they could not help me with a cancellation or payment adjustment and that I had to speak to a different department. One more thing, their calling centers are overseas, hence the representatives have huge accents, and I could only understand about %66 percent of what they were saying; having to constantly ask them to repeat themselves. I hope this bad review deters you from buying a Dell product. You’ll have a happier life if you chose too boycott Dell.

I give it one star because 0 star is not available. This is my 2nd Dell computer. This brand new Alienware m15 r3, which costs $2500, broke down right after 2 months. The tech support is horrible. Every time I try to call them, the waiting period is 20 min, not to mention that they schedule the wrong time/date, and the parts that need to be replaced take forever to ship. It's been 2 weeks since my computer was down, and I spent several hours making phone callas, and nothing has progressed at all! My first Dell workstation has the same motherboard issue, and they keep having this issue for years and obviously the product is not worth the price at all. The customer service is just a nightmare, and they dare to hang up on me after I spent 30 min waiting in the line! DO NOT BUY!!!

Appalling Customer Service Check out the saga below and bear in mind every call to Dell takes >20 mins just to get through to rep. 21/9/20: Placed order for Monitor, kB, mouse, and adaptors 24/9/20: Only monitor delivered. Rest of order cancelled without explanation. Contacted Dell. Told that website issue caused order problems and that I needed to reorder. 3/10/20: Reordered outstanding items plus HDMI cable. Got correct order acknowledgement but then order confirmation only contained cable. Raised support request 1038587309. 8/10/20: Still no response from Dell. Phoned them. Got cut off. Phoned again. Told by Dell that the issue will be escalated and my order would be sorted. 12/10/20: No communication. Phoned Dell. They cannot process. Asked me to re-enter. I refused and asked for current order to be cancelled. However, HDMI cable already despatched so waiting for delivery before checking refund status for rest of products. 13/10/20: Dell email states Delivery date for HDMI cable now Nov 20! 14/10/20: Dell email reinstating cancelled order!! Raised email cancelling order again. 20/10/20: Went into my Dell account and cancelled the outstanding orders again! 22/10/20: Finally get email confirming order cancellation.

Lucky to even get a 1star. As a contractor, i requested a weekend appointment for an engineer to come out and replace parts. Although laptop had issues it was still useable. They said they only do weekday appointments, and would take 1hr or so to fix. Fine, booked in a time and day, engineer came round and replaced the parts within an hour. As he was leaving i noticed that my laptop was slightly bulging, and realised the palm rest was not fit for my spec. Engineer put noted down and asked for parts to be re-ordered. Engineer didnt even bother putting my original palm rest back on so i could continue to work. Next day engineer called to say parts are here and he will come round to fix laptop... was a no show. Day 3 , engineer turns up and the same wrong parts had been ordered again. Day 4 got told ill now have to wait till Monday for the engineer to come round and fit the correct parts. Monday came and parts fitted. Trying to liaise with customer service regarding loss of wages (4days as a contractor) due to Dells’ incompetence making the same error twice, i get pushed from one team to the next , only to end up back at tech support who dont have much authority. The best they could offer was extended warranty... which is a joke as id rather buy a new laptop than waste my time dealing with them again and lose more wages. Customer service is poor, dysfunctional, and they do not take responsibility at all. First and Last time I buy a Dell laptop. Beware their service teams seem to be in India , so get use to dealing with a bot like person reading off a script. They do not escalate any cases , have a lack of knowledge, and will keep giving same responses.

Purchased a brand new Dell 8930 back in June. When I received the product there was a loud noise issue with the fan / chasis. Informed Dell and they sent technicians on three visits to try rectify the problem to no avail. After swapping out three fans + the motherboard, gave up and requested a refund. This is where the logsitics nightmare started. The unit was collected by their logistics company on the 18th of September. And was told refund will be processed that week. The Dell agent for whatever reason put this on hold for 2 weeks, then proceeded to close the case without the refund actually being processed. During this entire time I was told they had already finished the refund procedure (when they haven't) and they kept telling me to wait 2-3 days. Until they realised almost a month later that the funds never went through. Did not receive my refund until 15th of October almost a month after they took the product back. Absolutely outrageous customer service.

The short version: I recieved a faulty refurbished computer. Registered my first complaint within in 30 days. Registered several and asked for a refund within 60 and they were unwiling to issue it because I didn't ask within 30 days. Even though I didn't know it was such a faulty computer within 30 days. The long version: I ordered a refurbished XPS-13 2in1 and I was really excited when I first got it. There was an immediate issue with my finger print scanner + touch screen but otherwise things worked well for the first 30 days or so. It's a light computer with a large screen and enough processing power for me to run the programs I needed to. But here's why this is still a 1 Star Review: Slowly the computer began to have more and more issues. It had trouble dowloading and running applications. My camera intermittendly didn't work. My screen was displaying without the vertical pixels. I ordered the laptop in July and by September less than 60 days later, I just didn't think it was worth the trouble. The tech support team could sometimes solve the problem, but they often came back. And I just wanted a refund. But after being on the phone with Dell for 3 hours, being transferred to 3 different departments, I finally spoke with a supervisor who denied my refund because I didn't ask within 30 days. (This was after I called and was on the phone for an hour and they told me a supervisor would call me back and then no one ever did) Even though I reported my first problem within 30 days. AND within 30 days my computer had not presented the problems that disrupt my ability to use it. But they did not care. They refused my refund, and said they could offer me a replacement. But after another transfer to the tech department, they denied me a replacement as well. Overall the XPS-13 seems like a great computer, but the Dell Customer service team was unwilling to help me because they weren't legally required to per the warranty. But if they would look at this case with any depth, it would make sense to have just given me my money back.

I had hardly used my DELL laptop and the camera had gone bad. Dell is one of the worst BRAND, having external parts fitted in their device and upon not working, they ask the customers to contact the third party support. Their Tech Support is also not as expected, no expertise and they don't have knowledge. Quality wise DELL products are not good and long lasting. I would recommend to use other Laptop Brands and not DELL for sure.

Fraud sales and e-commerce. They place orders. That time showing different near by delivery date. Once order placed then keep postponing months and months. Even they don’t allow to cancel. Very bad sales support team. Just stupid guys with ok sorry words. You will loose your money, time and get frustration when buying something from Dell.com
