Dell order delayed... twice
I'm not sure if this group is still functional/active...
I ordered an Inspiron desktop Sept. 15th and I just received a notice that it's been delayed a second time, estimated ship date is now Oct. 17. Does anyone know what the problem is? |

Dell order delayed... twice
The company assembling the computers for Dell bought a lot of sub-prime mortgage
securities and is now in a cash flow crunch? Michael Dell foolishly bought sub-prime paper? I can anticipate more slowdowns in the production of computers, as the worldwide economy continues to migrate south. Why not ask Dell? Threaten to cancel. But then, what would you buy? A piece of consumer junk at Best Buy? With service by the Geek Squad? Never! .... Ben Myers On Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:58:04 GMT, bhata wrote: I'm not sure if this group is still functional/active...

The only way to find out (my apologies in advance) is to call Dell Home or Small Business Sales - or customer service. They at one time had the capacity to view the order and identify which component(s) are causing the delay. In those cases in the past, I would just modify the order (or cancel and create a new order) around a given component to avoid the backlog. If it makes you feel any better, I recently had a similar issue with a Lenovo order - which I subsequently cancelled. |

: The only way to find out (my apologies in advance) is to call Dell Home or Small Business Sales - or customer service. That won't help either. I ordered a Laptop with the estimated ship on 09/30. I got the delay routine, extending to 10/29. I, then, got an email saying that it was to be delayed again and I had to contact Dell to keep the order from being cancelled. I contacted Dell (3 separate calls no less) noting that I wanted to keep the laptop on order. In addition, I went to their chat saying the same thing (I kept the log) because of what I read on Dell Hell. Guess what? Dell cancelled my order anyway. I think their reason was that I was to receive additional things with my order which, I think, has now been recinded. Dell's "Customer Service" is, apparently, offshore with people who have difficulty understanding the english language and provide not just no help but very bad help. Pure sleeze. |

Just the simple plain incompetence that comes from hiring untrained people on the cheap and not providing them with sufficient training.
