Dell Cust Ser for a Dellophile
Our Dell laptop loaded with WIN 8.0 (later 8.1) was delivered in end Dec 2013. My wife was used to WIN 7 and could not bring herself to use 8.1, so this computer sat unused for 8 months. I recently asked Dell if they could send me a copy of WIN 7 so we could use the computer. After many phone calls, they have finally said "No". I asked for their definition of "Customer Satisfaction". Nothing was offered. I informed them that (a) in the last ten years, we have bought perhaps ten Dell computers, (b) in the last 20 years, more than twenty Dell computers, (c) I was asking for something which was going to cost them perhaps $ 5 or $10, and lastly, While my purchasing a copy of WIN 7 at $ 150 was not going to bankrupt me, it would certainly express to me what Dell thought of long term customers and customer satisfaction.
This is not a vent, but just an example of how not to do business. Pretty pathetic.
