My desktop purchase was in January. The sales part was okay, but the support is awful. On dells website, the words used to describe options offered when selecting a "customize" desktop, are misleading. The person I configured the machine with over the phone emailed the build sheet. The build sheet does not show pricing of all selected items.
Once I made the purchase, I received an invoice that showed itemized options with the cost of each item option. There were options I chose that initially showed no cost on their site and where some were no cost options that come built in.
Surprise, I was charged an extra $125 for options I did not want. Offshore dell says 15% restock fee to return. That is $250! I could not get any help with dell customer support. The two humans I spoke with kept me on the phone for an hour only to tell me to I should have studied the cost options closer.
This is dells way of providing good customer service. Dell is in Texas, but their support is offshore, utilizing humans that do not speak the best English. With dells directive of putting the responsibility of support with those overseas, it's likely your support will be less than satisfactory.
I do not recommend the purchase of a dell product. Read the reviews. There are just not enough good scores that support a confident purchase. Dell deceived me.
