Anyone else ordered a Dell on the Nectar Triple Points and Free shipping promo, yet been charged shipping?
I'm sure it's nothing, perhaps a mistake, but I got an email saying that if
I ordered by 31st Dec, I'd get triple points and free shipping. I checked the T&C carefully, entered my Nectar number, got it accepted, chose and ordered a system...and they charged £51(!!!) delivery. I got the order confirmation today, and again, there's a delivery charge. I don't see the order on my card yet, but has anyone else had this happen? The only exclusion was that free shipping wasn't on the Dell Outlet, and this system definitely wasn't. I proceeded with the order as it was late last night, and I didn't want to lose out on the offer. |

You should have called or sent an email to clarify the position, or ordered it over the phone. Dell will say you agreed to the delivery charge by going ahead with the order. You can get better deals in the highstreet by shopping around. |

I went through Nectar, built an E521 system and it came to £954. Built the same machine through the website directly without going through the Nectar website and it came to £881, the spec of the machine is Identical in every way. -- (\__/) Charlie Mitchell.

I wouldn't go so far as to say they were useless, yes they're pretty worthless until you've got a decent amount, but 500 points will give you £2.50 off your sainsburys shop or £2.50 off at Argos. The only time I collect them nowadays though is through doing online surveys at TNS, the nearest sainsburys to us is in Liverpool and even sainsburys food isn't worth venturing into that hell hole! -- (\__/) Charlie Mitchell.

I emailed Dell to say "don't bother shipping this until sorted" - only to get a phone call from the office to say the damn thing arrived! Which I suppose is a good thing because I can make a point that if it costs Dell £51 to ship, then it's just gonna cost them another £51 to return! Or...they could just do the right thing and fulfill the offer? |
