anyone elese is upset with Dell products
I would like to talk to anyone elese that has nothing but trouble from Dell, I had nothing but problems with this company including Tech support, customer service, even the billing department had charged me double payments.
After I had to install a modem ( I had a three year warrenty) but noone would come out to install it for me( I paid that for nothing) I was making payments over the phone until they took out double the amount they were supposed to, when I called back to complain, I was told that the person I talked to " there is noone here by that name" after weeks of trying to get a hold of tech support I find out that my hard drive is no good anymore and finding out that my extended warrenty has run out
I have decided that the only thing for me to do now is compain to the BBB forms have been sent out any I will never by anything from DELL again I beleive that this company is no good and I feel that I have been lied to for the last three years.
OH yeah I forgot I was supposed to receive a free upgrade to windows XP I mailed the form out as soon as I was told I could....... DELL lost the form and I did not recieve my free upgrade
I would like to know of anyother complaints about this company after all on the TV commercials all I here is how wonderfull there products are.
I would like to talk to someone that speaks ENGLISH

Alas, you are not alone in this situation. I have also been a victim lately.
Specifically, my Hitachi hard drive on my Dell Dimension 4600 died shortly after the expiration of the one-year warranty and even though the manufacturer of the hard drive guarantees it for three full years, Dell only stands ready to send me a new drive at 3 (read three) times the cost they sell in retail stores. Not to mention of course the lost data -- 14 months worth of information now irreversibly lost. Worse than that: the Dell help line, which I initially called, gave me exactly the wrong advice on how to deal with the problem, so that after their intervention my chances to ever recover that information had essentially become nil.
I wrote to Dell in my country but to no avail: they did not even care to acknowledge that they received my letter. I then contacted Dell's headquarters in the US but so far have only received desultory feedback, of the sort "provide your service tag and customer number", which had already been provided. OK, I realise Dell hardware is cheap, and that's why I bought a Dell machine, believing that it offered value for money. But like you I am terribly disappointed.

The data loss is simply your fault, not Dell's; you did not back up your data. Hard drives fail - that's a fact of life. Does not matter who made it or who sold the system - they will all eventually fail, some sooner than others.

I feel your pain friends! - I too am a disatisfied paying customer, My 4600 lost the hard drive just after the one year warranty expired, and after trying to get help on the phone for 40 minutes, pushing this button for this and that button for that, and being transfered around the world - I was hung up on.
Great service Dell, I'm glad I'm not paying your phone bill - I thought the TV ads said they had
"Award Winning Customer Service" Ya right, Maybe if you have a couple thousand to spend.
Call me crazy, but isn't a PC suppose to last longer than a year without replacing major parts?
Maybe I'll call Gateway or IBM and ask them.
Needless to say the customer service is a waste of time. Not one of them had a clue what they were doing, Its all about keeping the call time as low as possible. Forget the customers needs.
Sorry to hear they doubled charged you - I hope the BBB looks into it - Maybe Mr. Dell himself will realize all his unhappy customers made him rich!!!
Good Luck -
