I have had 2 Dells , a notebook , and this one , stick with it Jags they are quality machines , and they do actaully offer some after sales service, unlike one bucket shop where I saw the proprieter assualt a customer !
Fekkin Dell!
Never mind Jags :therethere: .
Too bloody right! Compensation? Go get 'em Gal....
Here's another :therethere:
If you ring up in the morning ask to speak to Monty
Cos the man from Dell called Monty he say yes......
Oh my god I am soooo scrapping the bottom of the barrel :doh:
I have a Sony Vaio and also have an Acer and the best service I have had was from........Acer, DHL collected the laptop for repair at hrs( pm for you WBB) on the Wedensday and it was returned fully repaired at 11 on Friday Morning.
Dell are very well know for really crap customer service.
If you phone them up re an item you've bought which hasn't arrived quite often they will charge your credit card a 2nd time! Some of the stories I've heard and read about their customer service are frightening.
When their automated system works everything is hunky dory. When it fails no one at Dell seems to be able to deal with it and the problems just multiply.
It seems that to get good service from Dell you have to Pay by cheque (sent by Recorded Delivery) so they can't charge your credit card multiple timesBe a large company (but even they have fallen foul of their customer service).
Jags, If they have failed to turn up twice and you've had to take time off work to wait in for them I would send them a bill for the lost time. I believe there is a precedent which means they have to pay you under these sort of circumsatnces.
Hi John - there is a law in UK something about taking time off work and waiting for workers/ deliverers to turn up. When I had my new PC system delivered from Dell last year it took THREE broken delivery promises, a threat from me to cancel the order and an out-of-hours delivery before it arrived.
This is worse cos it happened on Friday and Dell workers finish at m. Madness!!
I order a vast array of pc components from numerous suppliers who all give excellent service until it gets to the carrier. And the most frustrating problem is that they are all as crap as each other, whether its DHL , Initial City Link (the worst) or whoever they all suck. If someone had the capital to start a carrier company that actually did what they promised they would clean up !
mini rant over
You're probably right - my RANT should be against the courier company. BUT Dell haven't got any customer service reps working at the weekend!!! Nobody... what kind of customer service is that???
:shock:
