“I bought a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series laptop 3 weeks ago. Since then it crashes and freezes at least once per day. The stability of Windows 10 is inferior to my old HP Pavilion which i had up graded to Windows 10. For the purchase price Dell should produce a machine that will reliably run Windows 10 applications. I could not recommend anyone to buy on the basis of my experience.”

“$39 for the estimate on laptop screen replacement alone? Non-refundable? Potentially $300-$500 for the actual replacement? Big corporation pocket squeezers like you are the epitome of worthless trash. Praying on and taking advantage of the incapable/ill-informed. I ordered a screen for $80 and fixed the thing myself. The company I ordered from also requested I make a video tutorial for them, detailing the process so that others can avoid paying your outlandish prices for an otherwise simple task. However, Gurpreet, your “support agent” that I spoke with, was pretty dope. However however, shame on you for reducing this man’s existence to your generalized “tech support” label at the end of the follow up email. Let your “agents” close the email with their name so that (1) your customers know they’re being contacted by another human being and not some generated email/robot nonsense—which we probably are—and (2) they can feel somewhat like an actual human being, given the dehumanizing circumstances you’ve provided them with.”

“If you're considering buying a Dell PC but aren't sure, I'm hoping this review helps. This is what you can expect should your PC die shortly after purchase. The best part of all of this is the Supervisor Gail writes "Your satisfaction is our topmost priority." in her introduction email. Absolutely horrible customer service and their "warranty" isn't a warranty. In a nutshell, my computer died after 4 months and their 1 year "warranty" doesn't include replacements. You have to ship it back for them to refurbish it if you manage to get that far, which includes several hours on the phone with remedial and irrelevant troubleshooting by various tech levels. I was fought tooth and nail and Dell eventually just refused to replace it. Apparently, after reading a ton of online reviews, many of their PC are "Frankenstein'd" together using leftover and outdated / incompatible components then sold for a quick buck. Here is an email string from a supervisor named "Gail" after about 4 hours on my end with tech support and emailing back and forth. -------- Original message -------- From: Gail_873805 Date: 1/31/18 2:40 PM (GMT-07:00)Subject: Hi Martin, We are not declining the request but system replacement is not a good option at this point. I see here that there were no history of repairs on this computer which we can take advantage of the warranty of your computer. The process will take 7 to 12 bussiness which include the shipment of the computer. Please let me know if you prefer to discuss this over the phone and I'll setup the call back for you.

I already spent 2 hours in the phone with your tech and it was a complete waste of time. Why would I do this again? -------- Original message -------- From: Gail_873805 Date: 1/31/18 9:12 AM (GMT-07:00) Subject: RE: Re: Dell SR 960099773 Hi Martin, I appreciate your feedback as this will help us on improving our services. I am sorry to hear that you have been experiencing this kind of issue on your computer for some time already. Is there any way that we can setup a call back today so that I can have one of my senior technician to call you and provide a resolution and a better option if possible? Thank you, Gail Dell | Team Manager 9:30AM-6:00PM Central Standard Time Friday to Wednesday --- Original Message --- Received: 1/31/18 8:51:05 AM CST To: "Gail_873805" Subject: Re: Dell SR960099773 Hi Gail, I appreciate the follow up. I was planning on calling back in today to speak with a supervisor but decided against it. As of now, I do not intend on doing business with Dell again as it is incredibly time consuming and resolution seems futile should an issue come up. I bought my PC about 5 months months ago with the understanding it had a 1 year warranty. Over the past few weeks, the PCs sound is unresponsive and dead and it's shutting itself down spontaneously. Sometimes the sound works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes when I reboot the sound is good and sometimes not. I've tested everything imaginable prior to calling Dell for support, updated drivers, changed cables, monitors, ran through hardware software troubleshootimlng etc. Something is wrong with the PC. Despite this, and after informing Paolo of this, I spent about an hour and a half in the phone yesterday doing the same things with no resolution. PC is still broken. After Paolo finished troubleshooting he explained that Norton Anti-virus was causing the issue or issues which makes no sense to me. I've never used / configured the program and it's been been dormant since I got the PC. In any event, it's still broken. I told Paolo all of this and asked him if I needed to go through all of this again if my PC was still experiencing the same issues and he told me we would need to do more troubleshooting and that a replacement wasn't possible despite it being under warranty. As a last resort I could sent it back to Dell and have them try to fix it. I do not want to be stuck with a lemon and do not have funds to buy another one and can't be without a PC as I use it daily for work Id expect with Dell or any other reputable company to honor a 1 year warranty and replace the unit without pulling teeth and fighting tooth and nail. Paolo was.polite and professional in every way but I feel yesterday's call was a waste of time and I'm still stuck with a bad PC. Thanks for listening and sorry for the rant, didn't expect to have to go through this. Please let me know if you can help and what my options are. Thanks much. Martin -------- Original message -------- From: Gail_873805 Date: 1/30/18 4:33 PM (GMT-07:00) Subject: Dell SR 960099773 Hi Martin, This is Gail, the supervisor of Paolo whom you spoke with recently from Dell Technical Support.

“Purchased a Costco special Dell laptop and have had nothing but problems with it. Buyer be ware, right? I have replaced the hard drive, have had numerous software issues for which paid techs cannot identify what is causing the problem. It was recommended that I start swapping out memory to see if that fixes it. Seriously? The final insult was Dell called today to see how my laptop was doing. As soon as I said I was really unhappy with Dell, they hung up. Never. Again.”

“Dell advertised 17 hrs of battery life per charge for the 9550 laptop, but I get 4 if I'm lucky, and that's only if I don't use UHD, which is one of the main reasons I bought the laptop. Furthermore, I was promised a 10% rewards card when I bought the laptop, which was not sent after 4 weeks of waiting, after which followed another 2 months of phone calls and getting the run-around from numerous customer service reps and supervisors. I finally received the reward by e-mail, after much heartburn. I will never buy a computer from Dell again.”

“My son has an Ailenware computer and I am glad that I purchased the extended warranty that includes accidental damage. He slammed his laptop closed on his phone (yeah, I don't how he did that but...) and it was no questions asked. The screen was broken and there were funky lines on the display. We called and Dell over-nighted us a box and label for us to put the computer in and send it to them for repair. The box went overnight back to them. It ended up needing a part that was back ordered so it took longer than normal. They kept us up to date via email on what was going on from the time they they knew by the label that we mailed it until we got it back. All total it was about a week without the computer but it would have been faster if the part was in stock. I am very happy with the service and warranty is worth it.”

“To start with, I am so angry it isn't funny. I have a all in one dell computer. The warranty ran out which I am aware of. Today, January 24, 2018 I ran a Dell check up on the computer to make sure everything was up todate and working correctly. An hour later I return and the computer won't start. I call Dell and after a while they believe it's the mother board. I tell them everything was working great until I ran their check up. So in the end, it will cost me around 359.00 bucks to replace the mother board. I some years ago we had an expensive lap top from dell, after the warranty ran out the mother board went. Over the years we have purchased a number of Dell computers, but this one is the last. I am so angry with Dell over this. I certainly will not recommend Dell to anyone. Houston, British Columbia. Canada.”

“I ordered a computer 12.6.17. after 4 to 5 delays i called it and they said it would need to be cancelled and re ordered so after an hour that was supposed to be done because the XPS i originally ordered was no longer available. however, i looked at my account today and apparently an order for my new computer has not been placed so in summary it has been over one month since i ordered my original computer, they didnt inform me that i should cancel and re order, and then when i do they didnt actually do it. may be an isolated incident, but by far the worst experience i have ever had ordering anything online. They seem unorganized. if you chat or talk on the phone they constantly bounce you around so i think these dell representatives dont feel responsible. I have basically only purchased dells my whole life, but i can say whole hearted that i think i will try another company next time.”

“Has this computer less than three years and am having to replace the motherboard for the THIRD time. Same problem each time - charging port failure. First one under warranty but not the other two. This laptop is a real lemon and I regret buying a Dell.”

“I requested an invoice before making a purchase for a certain date - the date the order was placed and money taken from my bank account. They did not honor this and have been very unhelpful as to my refund. Quick to take the money, slow to return.”

“I ordered a new XPS 13 on Dec. 27, 2017; received it on Jan. 3. 12 hours later it kept shutting down every 60 seconds with the message that Windows was not loaded correctly. I had loaded nothing on the machine and it came with Windows 10. I called to return it and was offered $16.00 (sixteen) to keep it, but I would have to speak with tech services first to try and resolve it. Really? How absurd! This is just an indication of the arrogance these customer service people have. Believe me, I've called in many times before this to repair the XPS 17 I currently own. I was supposed to receive a UPS return slip and other RA via email for this new machine. It's been 5 days and I still haven't received it and they are not available over the weekend. Every time I call Dell customer service they fight with me, even when I called to purchase the new XPS13. The people are very rude and condescending. I've had Dell computers for the last 30 years and don't want to change now, but I don't know how to buy one without dealing with these customer-service-ignorant people.”

“Bought a new XPS 8930 mini-tower desktop on 11/24/2017. Want to add a 2nd INTERNAL hard drive? Good luck. 2 chats, 3 calls, one bogus 888 number, 3 countries, 2 calls to Costco concierge: ZIPPO! There are NO PARTS (mounting tray and cable adapter) to connect a second HD to the already existing cables inside the "TOOL-LESS" case. No date on availability, no info, nobody knows anything. I hope Dell is not into running your company's supply chain, cloud service or selling self-driving cars because right now they could not drive themselves out of a wet paper sack! Their excuse was that it was a very new model! Yep, some designer must have have figured out how to shave 5 cents off of whatever parts the previous generation of models used to connect HDs, and so now there are no NEW PARTS to match up. Marvelous!”

“Chrome book 13 --The screen is very hard in the eyes and the colour is off. Font is faint grey when it is dark black on other devices. Gives me a head ache and looks blurry and cheap. I called to ask how to adjust the display settings and the help/ support people had no idea what they were doing. I figured they could offer a simple solution like "open this and click here" but they had no clue how to help with this very simple task. Unbelievable. they were rude and spoke over me constantly Returning device because I don't want to give money to this rude crappy company nor have a headache every time I use my chromebook”

“After purchasing a new laptop for a Xmas present it was shipped to the wrong address......it was in the next town but they shipped it back to the factory and ordered me a new one. From there it has been almost 4 weeks from hell to get and answer or call back from someone who has a clue. After many hours on the phone and not able to ever talk to a US person I finally canceled the order. Now waiting for an answer on my refund so I can purchase a different laptop that will NOT be a Dell....20 year customer and never again will purchase Dell.”

“I ordered two new Dell XPS 1300 computers. One hard drive failed after 3 months. I was given a time-consuming run-around when I tried to get it fixed. Very bad experience. I am not likely to buy any more Dell products. Too bad, since I had been a long-time customer.”

“6 Dropped calls, 45 minutes wait to speak to a manager and still no manager. ignorant reps, no follow up when call was dropped, inability to understand the issue, unable to escalate a ship request for adapter that stopped working at 5 months old. They were supposed to ship an adapter and I received a email that they want the whole pc back to review. Will never buy another dell item. Still unresolved”

“Tried to order a lap top online. It initially said it would be here by xmas, then upon finalizing it said it wouldn't (it was a gift). So I called customer service to find out. Sales person upsold me to a more expensive lap top saying they could guarantee that model comes by xmas. Checked the order status 5 days before xmas. it said cancelled, but the Microsoft office I ordered shipped. I call to find out what was going on, they said "ya it's been cancelled" I asked why and they said they didn't know they'd have to transfer me to another department. They did, I waited on hold for an hour, then they closed. If there was an issue with my order, why wouldn't they call me? They cancelled it, never told me, then didn't tell me and put me on hold indefinitely. I have not yet been charged, so that's good, but still extremely disappointing.”
