“I spent almost $2,000 on an XPS desktop. I had the impression that Dell had improved over the years. THEY HAVE NOT. The computer has been nothing but trouble. First it had to be returned for repair because it would no longer boot up. I live in Mexico so I was without it for 3 months while it was being repaired in the US. Then the Bluetooth and sound systems completely went out. I will NEVER buy another Dell Product. To boot, their Technical Assistant phone line is closed on week-ends. Really? Unbelievable.”

“Dell inspiron laptop purchased Feb. 2019. Feb. 2020 (2 days before warranty was up) motherboard fried. No spills, no dropping, no power surge, worked one day, did not the next. Repair takes over 2 weeks. No machine for 2 weeks. May 13, 2020 stuck on "preparing auto repair" screen. Try to get dell support and am told no longer under warranty, nothing they can do. They send self diagnostic video instead. Will never buy a Dell product again.”

“There is no communication from Dell order support. I ordered my laptop for my son and it says it was shipped which was a lie and Fedex never received the package to mail. Total liars. I filed so many request for order status and I would get an email that someone would contact me and they didn't. WORSE WORSE customer service for such a large company.”

“I ordered a Dell XPS8930. It lasted a week. Called tech support and after trying a few things, they sent me a Fedex box to return the computer. The label on the box was to Naperville, IL. Turns out this isn't their repair center which is in Houston, TX. So Fedex is now shipping the computer to Houston, but no longer overnight. Instead of having the computer at the repair center overnight, it is now going to take 6 more days to arrive. This all because the foreign help center representative didn't know his job and gave me the wrong address. As everyone else has said this is lousy customer service. Hopefully the repair center is better, but they are about impossible to contact. You would think that Dell would want to respond to these reviews, but that I guess is just more of the problem.”

“Dell customer service is the absolute worst customer service on the planet. They purposely make the customer service experience excessively complex and, ultimaty, have no interest in resolving your issues.”

“I bought Dell Inspiron 7490 on 17.04.2020 Terrible experience,they had a issue with the Blue screen error ,for so long time ,and they still didn't fix that particular problem,in short ,laptop is going to sleep whit the lid closed,and he never won't wake up ,after that you have to reeboot system. And you going to ask me ,how I get done that ,from Dell side? and there is ridiculous ,was answer like that Base on the response of the system for all troubleshooting steps done, The hardware component still works fine and the issue possible related to a software, If you will perform operating installation we can identify if the hardware is faulty. Why exactly should I have to go through the effort of doing this for a laptop I spent thousands of pounds for? Not buying Dell anymore,never !!!!”

“I was about to purchase a Dell desktop online, but I had a few questions about something first before I made the actual purchase. The customer service was horrible! The man on the other end kept sighing like I was bothering him. I immediately took my purchase out of my cart.”

“Made an order and was not told it was not in stock and I would have to wait MONTHS until AFTER they have your money. Not a company I would deal with.”

“For over 30 years I have built my PC's. I didn't feel like doing the reach and building, I should have. I bought a Dell Alienware R8 for $2300. I wouldn't recommend them. Alienware has serious issues with their updates. Multiples times they have failed, this time cost me a complete reload of the OS. I reached out to support Dell/Alienware and they were closed. Their hours are Monday to Friday 7am to 11pm CST. After that you are screwed. I tired reaching out to them on their support page and was told my support had expired, it hadn't it was extended. Steer clear of this company, they will let you down when you need them.”

“Customer service is terrible. All they want is your credit card to fix a computer that is only14 months old. They wont try to look at it remotely to give you an estimate of cost to fix. This computer has not been used by kids, has been sitting on a desk. It's not moved in and out of a car. I feel like they don't care that this is a substandard product. Maybe that's why they make them that way so they can take your money again when you need to fix them. I have had many older, much less expensive brands of laptops that have lasted far longer than this Dell. Never again will I buy a Dell”

“Based on my experience with Dell, I could not recommend the purchase of one their computers. My Dell PCs (desktop and laptop) are high-end Inspiron versions. One is two years beyond its warranty period, the other is over two months beyond. About two months ago, both adopted a peculiar deficit that exists to this day: you must restart the computers following start-up, else they will not perform normally in two respects. They refuse to load apps, like a VPN and though they will connect to the Internet, they will not open most pages. At first, I thought the infirmities were owed to the VPN, but their tech-help convinced me otherwise. Then I turned to Norton, my Internet protection company. But their technicians and their scanning tools indicated that though my PCs had a few bad files, once those were removed, the Dell PCs continued their bad behavior. Microsoft, my next approach, stated that the problems were hardware related. At this point, realize that I had spent literally hours with engineers taking control of my computers, doing their thing. Dell was my last resort. That’s so because, as previously noted, the PCs were beyond their warranty date. So, I paid $105 for someone from Dell to call me and resolve the issues on one of the computers. And this brings me to the reason I could never recommend Dell computers. No one ever called. Not only that, following almost an entire day’s attempt to learn why, and whether or when I might expect a call, I came up with this: Chat session folks said it was beyond their “expertise,” and referred me to email. Email responses were that such information was beyond their “expertise,” and referred me to a phone number. The robotic voice at the other end of the phone number failed to understand my problem and referred me to Chat and email. Enough! I contacted my credit card company and placed a challenge on the money I had authorized for Dell’s “service.” One thing I did learn from Chat, email responses, and the robotic voice is that “Dell prides itself on its excellent service.””

“let me start, I have excellent credit. I would never purchase another thing from Dell. I pay an amount of $70 a month, and $50 goes to interest. If I continue to pay this, It will take me 5 years to pay it off. I was unaware of this, because the first year is "interest free" after the year is up, they back charge you for everything.”

“I recieved an alienware R2 the 14th, turn it on try to set it up...Blue screen. Try to install updates blue screen. I ordered ms home and student they install 365. I kept getting blue screen. So I did a diagnostic test since dell person didn't fix the problem as they told me it was just a driver issue and they felt it was resolved. The day after go to play minecraft to test games work..blue screen. So IT friend got me to run diagnostic on new laptop turns out my computer was built with faulty memory. So in order to fix memory i have to replace the entire motherboard as they thought it was a good idea to attach memory to the motherboard. I am disappointed with the service. I'm paying 3500 for a laptop I cant even use til i get the replacement part. They didnt offer any type of small refund for there error. I was even told computer came off the production line yet they didnt bother to check to make sure the laptop was in stable conditions”

“Ordered two monitors two weeks ago and was not notified until the day before the expected delivery date that there would be another six week delay in my order. Unprofessional to the highest degree...”

“My Dell laptop computer was my lifeline here in NYC during this terrible time. Unfortunately, the hard drive on my laptop became defective on March 31st, 2020. Tech support sent the return dispatch box to me at the wrong address, but the FedEx driver telephoned me, I told him the correct address, and I received it. I returned the computer, and sent Dell technical support an email on March 31, 2020 telling them that the address was wrong. There was a delay to receive parts. The parts were received on 4/8/20. It was repaired the same day. It was returned on 4/8 and supposed to be delivered FedEx on 4/9. FedEx did not attempt delivery on 4/9 for some unknown reason. It sat in their warehouse in Jamaica, Queens, NY until 4/10/20 (Friday). On Friday, FedEx would not deliver because the address was incorrect and I was told only Dell could change it. I called Mr. Sharma at 430pm EST Friday to ask him to contact FedEx customer service immediately so I could have the computer the next day. He insisted my address was 8042 230 Street (a nonexistent address), and refused to contact FedEx, as did his supervisor, Mr. Haresh. Instead Mr Sharma and Mr. Haresh sent my computer back to Dell in Houston. Mr. Burroughs then emailed me, and said he was shipping my computer back (no apology nothing for the aggravation). I think at least an apology was due. I enclose his emails to me. This was extremely aggravating. I understand that mistakes occur, but sending the machine to Houston so I had to wait another week is beyond the pale. This is not the first time I have had terrible customer support from these types of persons. This type of technical support mitigates against further purchases from Dell.”

“OMG I am just stunned with how poor their customer service is!! Long story short, I was given $3,000 in credit by Dell, used it to make two orders but had to call in several times because their system kept cancelling the orders but I finally got them. Then, over the past 5 days, I've tried to order a JBL speaker using my Preferred Account, and they cancelled my order 5 times for no reason! Had me call in several times and talk to someone in India who lied to me by saying my orders wouldn't be cancelled again and it would be sent out. IT WAS CANCELLED YET AGAIN, WITH NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY. THEN, my Rewards were taken for those cancelled orders and not returned!!!! HOW CAN CUSTOMER SERVICE BE SO BAD WITH AN "AMERICAN" COMPANY??!!!! NEVER SPENDING THERE AGAIN!!!!”

“**I hope no one makes the mistake of purchasing a product from Dell ever again.** -- I purchased a laptop from Dell three years ago. Before I made the purchase, I asked the Dell agent if the laptop would be suitable for my line of work. I wanted to double check before making such a big purchase. The Dell agent said yes, the laptop was suitable and could have upgrades in the future if needed. So I made the purchase and bought a Dell XPS 13 9360. As I started taking on bigger projects, the laptop was not meeting expectations. So, I recently reached out to a Dell agent to see what could be upgraded. The Dell agent said I could upgrade my RAM to 16GB instead of the 8GB it currently has. They then proceeded to tell me that they had no RAM in stock and could not provide me with any information on where or how to purchase RAM elsewhere. They could not even provide me with recommendations or information on how to purchase RAM compatible with my laptop. As I did some research to find out which RAM was compatible with my laptop and how to get it installed from a local retailer, I discovered that, in fact, my laptop cannot be upgraded as the "RAM is soldered to the main board." This laptop is completely useless since I cannot use it for work and I probably should have went with my instincts and put the $1600 towards a Mac.”

“I used to swear by DELL. Every computer I have bought has been a dell. I had very bad experience with HP computers so Ive stuck with dell and have been very happy. This recent computer Ive bought has had a lot of software /hardware issues. The computer all of a sudden after an update lost my video card. Two other problems my computer studders when im on it for about an hour or so an every hour it takes a 8 second breather in which it locks up. I also having a problem in which i have to turn my computer on and off and back on for it to come to the desktop. Their tech support is terrible and I should not have to go through this with a new computer. Its terrible but people are going to have to start buying local.”
