Don't buy a Dell

I'm on a Dell right now and had issues when I bought it, but they made up for it and I will continue to be a Dell customer depending on future needs because **** happens and all companies make mistakes.

I was pissed though because I bought a laptop on the Dell outlet site. A couple days later, I found out the extended battery physically stuck out on the bottom which I didn't want nor stated in description so I called customer service to see what the return policy was. I was told if I processed a return before I received it, I would not have any restock fees. I asked again and was told yes, I can cancel without fees/penalties so I did. I then immediately bought a different Dell without the extended battery.

When I received the 1st laptop and called CS to get a shipping label, I was charged 15% restock. They did not honor what I was previously told and after talking to multiple supervisors, they told me the original CS person had no authority to waive the fee. That is such BS because how should I know who has authority? I went by what they told me and then they did not honor it.

They did not back down and I was stuck with 2 laptops. I then googled a few Dell Executives in PR/Marketing/Sales and emailed them letters. 2 days later I got a phone call from customer service apologizing and waived the 15% fee.

I was happy the Executives actually listened and cared about a regular customer. For that, I will continue to use Dell.
