Delayed Order

Just wanted to put across the impact of poor service Dell is providing. I am an international student landed in Canada from India in Dec.2021 and AND NOT ABLE TO ATTEND MY ONLINE CLASSES AS EVEN AFTER PAYING THE WHOLE AMOUNT to a native company of Canada DELL.I am facing a challenge that in spite of the order being put on 31st Dec.2021 , I am still waiting 11 days for the delivery to be done. Most frustrating thing is that Dell order status web page still shows the shipping date as 4th Jan . and delivery date as 6th Jan which is already passed but continues showing these wrong details. The order still shows in Production since day 1 and I have no clue when my order will be delivered. I kept on calling various support contact nos. provided by Sales Chat guys but they never got a confirmed date for delivery. Chats with several Sales agents only told me that each day i call/chat , the delivery date is further postponed to next day with a latest on 15th Jan (which i am sure will change to later tomorrow and day after) while the original date was 6th. It seems Dell is punishing me every time i call and push the delivery date further.
 
I am an international student from India and just landed in Canada in Dec.2021 to attend my classes to find out that I can not attend them as Dell as an organisation is completely doing in justice to me by not showing the delivery dates on order status proactively and also extending the dates beyond what i could accept.
 
I am in real pain after several attempts to call (IVR always tells me that order is in Progress) the order support which gets connected to anywhere but Canada Dell and then transferring the calls to different teams (on call for more than 15 mins.) to finally tell me that order delivery is further postponed without any satisfactory response. Yesterday , One of the Sales Supervisor Neha told me that i will get a call on my Mobile to tell me the details but not to my surprise , i did not get any. I even raised a SR  which is still waiting for an update.
 
I am using this option of community to kindly request Dell again to ensure that my Laptop gets delivered ASAP without any further delays. Otherwise I will have to go to different media platforms to announce the pathetic service Dell is providing to its customers.
 
At this moment I am in real pain as classes have already started and after spending a huge amount of money coming from India to Canada , I am still not able to due to DELL.
 
Please see it and escalate or provide me escalation mails.
 
Regards
Parkhi Sharma

    If you need a system immediately, cancel the order and go to a retailer and buy one.

    If the system is still in production, it will be a minimum of a week or two before you see it -- they're built in China and you must allow for international shipping.

    Thanks for your answer...

    If this is so simple to answer the reasons for delay , why Dell promises earlier delivery dates. I am sure the fact that these are built in China should be well known to Dell and other factors (delay due to part supply etc.) which can delay the delivery. Dell should promise delivery dates accordingly and not a week while they know it might take 1 month to deliver.

    I would have chosen another alternative if they would have shown a delivery date later than 10 days from the date of order.

    I can not see any option to cancel the order now as they say it is in production.

    FYI : I got an email from them saying that the unit is under production in a facility in US

    We can put in a request for the cancellation. However, this will not process as the order has crossed the cancellation stage. Once the order is shipped out and delivered, we can help to return the order. Once the order reaches our facility, the order will be refunded in 10-15 business days.

    To my surprise , i am still waiting for a confirmed delivery date from Dell. Order placed on 31st Dec.2021 , delivery date promised was 6th Jan. It still shows as 6th Jan on order status and DELL can not even tell me WHEN WE I GET MY LAPTOP STILL. They are telling me that i can not even cancel my order. It seems i am robbed of my hard earned money

    I request all to NOT fall prey to these fake promises from Dell on delivery dates and rather purchase on from a store.

    yes , the order crossed the cancellation stage on 31st Dec. itself , same day after putting the order while the delivery date was showing as 6th Jan. I never had the opportunity to get it cancelled. I was OK to get it delivered with a reasonable delay but now you are not telling me when should i expect the delivery even after 17 days of order creation.

    I am just asking a simple question.. when will my order get delivered???

    Hello parkhi. I’m facing similar situation. Did you receive your order after all? If yes, how long did it take since the order placement date until delivery and what did you do and whom did u contact to get delivery fast? My order status (ordered on 7th March 2022) shows just confirmed order and ready for production but I was informed (after calling them) that there’s a part shortage but they’d still tell me I’ll get delivery by 14th March which seems highly impossible since it’s not even gone in production let alone shipping. Thanks in anticipation.

    I'm in the same boat, I purchased on mine on Feb 28 and it has gotten delayed 2x. They shipped the monitor already.

    Just seems a bit misleading, they should be more up front with the estimated times. I know there are delays with video cards and such, but being honest is better so customers can manage their expectations.

    Curious how long these took for the people waiting from December and January.

    Hello Mokianka,

    They are worst in customer care. I ordered a laptop on 31st Dec 2021 and i got it delivered nearly end of Jan 2022. This is 4 x the original schedule they provided. The worst side of story is that they suggest 100s of HELPLINE to call but none of them give you what you need. You call one of them and you will get the SAME UPDATE (actually no fruitful update) after they transfer calls for at least 4 times. Their order progress online show the delivery date as the original one and never gets updated with any new date so you are in a complete dark. They tell lies about the reason as one of the mails from them told me the part shortage as a reason while another one told me bad whether. They do not care about how many times you call/mail them. No escalations work. Your money is stuck with them as they book your card at the time of order. You can not cancel the order after 1 day of putting the order and only option they give is to return the product after it gets delivered so in nutshell you can do nothing. The even do not bother what is the severity of issue you face as i continued telling them that i as an international student in Canada from India am missing my classes due to their poor service BUT THEY DO NOT CARE AT ALL. When order got delivered to me at last after 1 month, to my surprise its mouse pad stopped working within a week and their techs will come to your site on their own terms and not as per your availability. I provided a strong feedback on their feedback link i got and expected someone will call me to understand but none.

    Their courier provider is like them and give confusing updates on their web-site. Most surprising is that THEY DO NOT ANSWER YOUR CALLS 100% of times.
