Dell complaints

[poormanq45]

IIRC the 730 line switched from Foxconn to Biostar.

But the same thing apples. Dell is like walmart. Force the suppliers to reduce the cost of the product at any cost.

Unfortunately reliability is the first thing to go

Well did I spark a moral debate or what?

I don't want to get into this too much, but I've been screwed over by Dell enough to know that I deserve a little justice.

Speaking in terms of my own ethics, the way I do business is not the way Dell does business.

I feel like for what I've put up with and gone through with this company, I WANT to take advantage of Dell. I NEED some retribution. If Dell isn't going to give me justice by traditional routes, I'll just abuse their system and get it.

The same way they abuse every system from false advertising to hyper-inflation to creative accounting at Dell Financial, to atrocious customer service - Dell is breaking the karma rules on a grand scale every single day.

I feel like, not only for myself, but for all of the little guys out there who are stiffed by Dell on a daily basis, that I should return the favor.

I feel like EVERYONE who has not received satisfactory service from Dell, no, downright ulcer inducing service from Dell - should do everything in their power to return the favor.

How can someone stand up for Dell after reading so many horror stories on this forum? Have you not read about the people who've been taken advantage of time and time again?

How can you condemn someone for wanting to make Dell bend over for once?

I don't care what you say - if I can cram it up Dell's tailpipe, I'm going to seize the opportunity and revel in it.

I get giddy just thinking about calling up and saying "I smelled burning, and when I went to turn off my computer, I got shocked pretty bad and I thought I saw smoke."

I can't wait to drop my laptop from a moving vehicle in the middle of a downpour, then call up to get a brand new one.

It will make me feel like I'm contributing in some way, like I'm avenging all of us - the ones who have been dignity raped by Dell. What I'm proposing is not immoral or bad - in fact it is our duty to restore order to the universe.

For every action there is a reaction. The universe is unbalanced by the mass amount of bad Dell does to people.

Don't condemn me, join me. Give back to the universe.

Sounds like a load of bloviating justification of something wrong to me. You never did answer my question.

K, well, just think about it the next time someone posts here that their machine is shocking them and Dell won't do anything.... you helped make that happen.

If your conscience is clear, whatever.

Whilst I am all in favour of DHell getting its just desserts, the difference between the average consumer and DHell is that DHell has the money to hire attorneys to make just about every problem go away or to be able to create just about any problem. The latter is what you are experiencing: The inability to get a corrupt company to do what's right. If they won't fix a legitimate problem, there are other, much better avenues to go down. If the Better Business Bureau doesn't work, then invite the Federal Trade Commission (or your Canadian equivalent) to take a whack at it. If that doesn't work, then try the media or write a guest column in your local paper. Publicly shame them by exposing the situation to the widest possible audience you can get. If it's one thing DHell doesn't want, it's bad press, getting the media involved or getting the Government involved in the situation. It's exactly why they prefer to settle lawsuits that they know that they are going to lose, rather than have it go to court. Sure, the money involved would be less, but more importantly DHell doesn't get their dirty laundry aired out for everyone to see just what kind of company DHell really is.

Hey I know what you're saying, but that is a headache that I'm not able to take up right now. I don't want to start up a campaign to get awareness out of my situation, I just want a new computer.

I'm willing to take a stand, but I don't have the time to take them on in the public on my own.

If there was a group of people doing something I'd join it, but I don't want to do it on my own.

Dhell is one company that burying issues and problems is ingrained in their very being. They will spend millions to cover a problem than thoursands to fix it.
