Inspiron Laptop Replacement

It would be remiss of me not to mention something about the young gentleman ( Mr A) who handled my complaint  that finally lead to its replacement . It wasn't an easy task for him to handle my call on that fateful morning  for I was boiling mad with  the  unit .  The laptop that boasts of some new Intel Processor (i7)  and 1 TB harddisk plus .........   It had a ultra slow start that the  lady proprietor dismissed as normal  of Dell computers ( who also claimed that Asus is even worse off ) .Mind you , the hard disk was replaced  and then the mother board . The much awaited -for  laptop  couldnt be used by my son few weeks after purchase  because it spent most of the time in the shop . It was sent back to the shop 2 times , about a week  for each of the times ! Mr A  spent more than an hour on the phone with me   for I refused to put down . There were tag numbers that I have to provide before Dell could track my unit  but  I didn't have the information  . I made it very clear to Mr A  that I didn't want to spend another 1 hour repeating the same story  to a new person on a toll-free number , that is if I dialled again . enough is enough !  I already repeated the " story " to the technicians in the shop that I purchased the unit  umpteen times before I chose to launch a complaint direct with Dell .

 Let me get back to Mr A  -  I regard him to be a very professional  and loyal staff of the  Dell  tech support team . With me rattling off my grievances , he  responded to all of them with much patience and tact  , and at the same time guarding the SOP  of Dell . My parting words to him were - I wanted him to make sure that our long conversation is heard by Dell  and I also wanted Dell Customer Service to give me a Yes or No answer about whether  i am deserving of a replacement unit . . I  assured Mr A  that whatever the outcome was , I  thought he had done a great Job being  patient with me . And I gave him 1 week !

And Mr A called me before the 1 week was up , he said that my case was brought to the attention of the concerned department  and one thing led to another and finally the replacement unit arrived last evening .

In between all those times ,Mr A made special effort to contact me . He asked if the  I have received emails from the customer service department  , if I have replied  and ..........    If i have received information about delivery ... and up to yesterday  --- he asked if the unit has been received .  Thank you , Mr A  - you are one  invaluable asset to Dell . Through you , Dell Tech Support has been bridged closely with  the client and you gave a very personal touch to it . Honestly , the concern you have shown is sufficient . I would have thanked you just as well even if I have not received a replacement - jokes aside !

 To Dell - if you ever chance upon this blog - I must say that you have to treasure a gem in a staff like this one , Mr A . He made it personally to make sure that a client , unknown to him ,   gets quality after sale service . The extra time  he spent to  calm down a " very angry " client  and  to preserve the pride and integrity of Dell itself shows what a invaluable staff  Dell  possesses .


Mr A , continue  your good work and to offer sterling service to others . You are an exemplary staff &  the pride of Dell ! I am proud to have dealt with you . May God Bless you abundantly , in all ways .
