Dell’s customer service stinks.

I have been trying for the last 4 hours to speak to a human being at Dell.  I have tried the sales dept.  I have tried placing a new order.  I have tried customer service – all 4 sub-options.  I have tried accounts.  Damn, I even tried the section for government officials.  Dell’s telephone system is an inescapable abyss of incorrectly routed calls to dead lines, incorrect mailboxes and in one case, the sounds of dogs barking in the background.  I shit you not.

A sign of things to come?  If so, I will likely cancel my order and purchase my laptop elsewhere. (If I’m lucky enough to get through to them, that is)

Dell, please get your act together, sort out your telephone system and for the love of small animals, SOMEONE PHONE ME ABOUT MY ORDER.

    DELL HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MANY YEARS. MANY PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY ARE TALKING ABOUT IT. i DO NOT SEE THIS COMPANY HANGING AROUND THAT MUCH LONGER. THE cs DIV IS COMPLETELY OUTSOURCED TO INNEFFICIENT, APATHETIC AND ALOOF STAFF AND THEY ARE LOSING A LARGE SHARE OF BIZ DIE TO THE INCOMPETANCE OF THEIR cs DEPT.

    The telephone system we are using today still uses the legacy Tip and Ring -48 Volts line which is susceptible to noise.:;~
