      On August 21, I purchased a business laptop from Dell with an advertised delivery date of August *****. After payment, Dell confirmed the delivery date as August 26. However, at 11:00 PM on August 25, I received an email stating that the delivery would be delayed until September 4. Upon contacting customer support, I was informed that the laptop was still in the production stage. This indicates that there was no way the laptop could have arrived by the advertised date, and that a delay notification should have been sent much sooner, not just a few hours before the expected delivery.This delay has severely impacted my business operations, as the laptop, a mobile workstation from Dell's "for business" line, is essential for my work. The last-minute notification left me with no time to make alternative arrangements, resulting in financial loss.Where Dell Went Wrong:1 - Dell advertised a delivery timeframe that was impossible to meet, amounting to a false claim.2 - Dell failed to provide timely and accurate updates on the order status.3 - The delay notification was sent just hours before the promised delivery date, reflecting poor internal communication and planning.I believe Dell should be held accountable for this poor service and should offer compensation for the inconvenience and financial impact caused by the delay.

      I ordered a laptop computer from Dell on 3/21/24. Approximately one month after it's arrival, the computer started crashing while running certain programs. I reached out to their technical support team for the first time on or around 7/2/24 to report the problem and get resolution. Over the course of the next two months, I had over 75 back and forth communications with the company tech support which included troubleshooting steps, a 2-hour remote session with the technical representative, and a 2-hour onsite appointment with a technician to replace the entire motherboard of the system. Now, the company is telling me that they need to perform additional troubleshooting steps, which includes me sending my system to one of their depots for inspection and repair, which will reportedly take an additional ***** days to return to me after they initially receive the laptop. This will put the total timeline for repairs at just shy of 3 months, and that is assuming that they are even able to source the problem, which means that I have had restricted use of the system for 3 months yet I have been paying for it for 3 months.Order Number: ********** Dell Purchase ID (DPID) Number: ************* Service Tag Number: 14KWW14 Express Service Code Number: ********** Customer Number:

      Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to file a formal complaint against Dell Inc. regarding their failure to honor the warranty on my Dell XPS 13 Laptop.

      I purchased an extended warranty on a Dell Inspiron 15 3520. I opened my laptop one morning and crack, the right hinge broke. My computer was still functional at the time and I just opened my own business and couldn't be without my computer until things settled down. The issue escalated to the left hinge. I finally took a week off and send my computer in for repair. I was told the hinges were covered. Then I got an invoice for $199 to fix the *** screen. My computer never had screen issues. After numerous attempts to understand the issue, I was told the hinges were covered but the screen was not and they could not replace the hinges only since the *** screen was attached. I have been without my computer for over a week and get only 1 message update per day and am forced to get the computer back despite not being at fault for something they agreed to cover (broken hinges which damaged screen during shipping to the service department).

      *********************** representative ******* had been assigned to this case regarding the customers ********************** Inspiron ****************************** reported by the customer to have cracked hinges. However, when the Dell Repair Facility received the computer, they found extensive damage to the computer,specifically the Liquid Crystal ******* (LCD) was cracked and damaged.

      Complaint: 22198343

      I am rejecting this response because: Dell has not accepted responsibility for returning my computer in worse condition than when I mailed it in.  My computer was fully functional without any screen issues until I sent it into get the hinges repaired. Upon return, half the screen is blacked out.  They backpedaled on their warranty as I was told the hinges were covered under warranty but since my screen was "damaged" they would need me to pay for that.  I then gave permission for them to repair the hinges but then they said the hinges and LCD screen were one piece and it would cost me $199!  Due to their poor quality hinges and poor handling of my computer it's now unusable and I need to plug in an external monitor.  Their solution of a prorated refund on my warranty is an insult.  My photos from Oct 2023 is when the one hinge broke and demonstrates I continued to use my computer WITHOUT ISSUES TO THE SCREEN for months.

      I am rejecting this response because: My computer was functional except for the hinges when I sent it to Dell to be repaired.  The right hinge broke Oct 2023 in the photo.  I used it for months until the other hinge broke, which is what prompted me to send it in for repair.  The photos show that Dell returned my computer with an utterly destroyed screen.  The other photo is when I received the computer back with NO PADDING between the keyboard and screen (I packaged it and mailed it in exactly as the instructions stated WITH padding between screen and keyboard).  Other BBB complaints highlight the poor quality of the hinges and Dell's inability to honor the warranties other customers have purchased.  They told me explicitly they'd cover the hinges and I agreed to the repair, but backpedaled to state the hinges and screen were "one piece" and wanted me to pay for it all.  My warranty cost $120.10 and will expire Jan 2026.  They offered me a prorated refund of it for $52.  Deeply regret sending my computer for repair, wish I would have just duct taped the hinges because I'd still be able to work.

      On July 2, 2023, I ordered an Alienware x14 R2 laptop through Dell Canada's website, and I received the product on July 19, 2023. However, around August 15, 2023, I noticed that the "3" key on the keyboard was not functioning properly. Initially, I did not pay much attention to the problem, but by August 18, 2023, the key completely stopped working.I contacted Dell customer service for support, and they recommended replacing the entire keyboard. However, I am currently unsure whether the issue is with the keyboard itself or if it is related to the motherboard. Additionally, after researching the Dell community, I found that many customers have reported similar issues with their keyboards, which raises concerns about the effectiveness of simply replacing the keyboard.As a result, I requested a refund and return of the product, but Dell has denied my request, stating that the return window has passed (30 days). Given that this issue surfaced shortly after I received the laptop and has since worsened, I am hoping that the BBB can assist me in obtaining a refund and return, as I believe this product may be defective.

I was beyond the ONE MONTH replacement/refund window and have now been dealing with Dell **************** in ***** for the past three months attempting to get my computer fixed. Every time I contact them I get someone different and they attempt to start the troubleshooting process all over again.

The service tech damaged it and obviously hoped I would not notice. In addition, the original issue of the battery not charging was unresolved.I sent it back for a 2nd service on July 26th, 2024. Upon receiving my *** 13 back for a 2nd time, the solution Dell tried to apply was simply changing the backplate, but the backplate was not able to be screwed in all the way due to the physical damage to the area near the hinge, thus leaving a sizable gap. Granted, at least this time the battery was charging, but still draining faster than I expected.I sent it in for a 3rd service on August 15th, 2024. I have now been told that further physical damage has been done to the interior of the laptop, in and around the touchpad. The Dell service *** has informed me that I need to pay to fix this new damage done by the service tech.Essentially, the service techs continue to damage my *** 13 with each service and then want to hold me responsible. This is extremely disappointing to be constantly gaslit and be informed that even though the damage is being done by the service techs, that the customer will be held **********************************, please make this right as I have been a customer for 25 years.

    • Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      Dell Case Number: ********* Service Tag: GQZRY24 Product/Service Details:Product: Dell All-in-One Computer Purchase Date: (Approximately 3 months ago)Nature of Complaint:I am filing this complaint regarding a Dell All-in-One computer that I purchased just three months ago. Unfortunately, this computer has been defective from the start, exhibiting significant issues such as freezing and displaying blue screens of death (BSOD), even after reformatting and reinstalling the operating system.Timeline of Events:Initial Contact: When I first contacted Dell support to report the issues (freezing and BSOD), they immediately attributed the problem to software rather than hardware. Despite my insistence that the problem persisted even after a full system wipe and reinstallation, they informed me that since they considered it a software issue, I would be required to pay for further assistance.Technician Visit: During the technician's visit, after replacing the motherboard, the computer still did not function properly. The technician attempted to reinstall Windows using Dell's OS recovery tools, but the process froze and failed. He stated that he did not have time to continue troubleshooting and left after filing a report that the system was still not working.Ongoing Issues: Following this, Dell support advised that I would need to have a technician come out multiple times (3-4 visits) before they would consider replacing the defective computer.Desired Resolution:I am extremely dissatisfied with the level of service and support provided by Dell. It is unacceptable for a brand-new computer to experience such critical issues, and even more so for Dell to refuse to acknowledge that this is a hardware defect. I am seeking an immediate replacement of this defective computer or a full refund of my purchase.
