You don't need to go to the Executive level (In my case I just got the run-around to a couple different departments) but eventually you will get high enough to get someone who can give you answers.</p></p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(2943482, 'xl22k')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->							<div class=\"num-replies\">1 replies</div>	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->        <div class=\"reply-container\" >            <div class=\"comment last\" id=\"comment-20958011\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=1570707\"><img        src=\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-1570707-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=1570707\">DoubleShortMILF</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2007/11/email-addresses-for-19-dell-executives.html#comment-20958011\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2011-10-10T09:11:42-05:00\">October 10, 2011  9:11 AM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(20958011);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=20958011');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>Well, you're lucky, because the reps I've dealt with are jerks.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(20958011, 'DoubleShortMILF')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-2943485\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=160989\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=160989\">xl22k</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2007/11/email-addresses-for-19-dell-executives.html#comment-2943485\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2007-11-12T11:19:29-05:00\">November 12, 2007 11:19 AM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(2943485);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=2943485');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p><p>@<a href=\"http://consumerist.com/consumer/executive-customer-service/email-addresses-for-19-dell-executives-321353.php#c2943022\" rel=\"nofollow\">BigNutty</a>:</p><br /><p>Just a tip for others, your LAST RESORT should be threatening legal action.

Since working for them I have always had superb service from Dell, but only because I've dealt with them on the corporate level, and they have dedicated account execs to handle escalations, etc.</p><p>I would expect that the home consumer isn't going to get very far by this Carpet Bomb strategy. You'll just get shuffled over to the CSR/TSR queue appropriate to your segment. That's the policy. Will some kind-hearted exec take exception to the policy?

I'll still buy Dell, but I'll keep the email addresses.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(9847355, '')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-11901292\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\">Anonymous    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2007/11/email-addresses-for-19-dell-executives.html#comment-11901292\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-04-07T06:28:13-05:00\">April  7, 2009  6:28 AM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(11901292);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=11901292');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>well another 2 hour battle with tech support, to hear that my warranty didn't apply, but at the end have a \"courtesy extension.\"  I've called Dell tech support 5 ties or more over the years, and it always goes the same way.  3,4 or 5 calls, multiple referals to other phone numbers, long holds, the I'm sorry we cn't do anything for you rep, the lowly reps supv, who says the exact same thing, finally next level up manager who knows that if I have these names and these emails, and i've been on the phone for 2 hours a hot letter is only 15 minutes away, and Gues what the ethical one time special consideration is given to my case (each time) and my prepaid extended warranty is honored..it's greta to live in america.

We had mistakenly used their website and it turns out it defaulted the payment to the first account (we have several). I definitely would not recommend DFS website for anything other than payment tracking or statements. Anyways, after almost 3 frustrating weeks of calling and getting people in India, Manilla, etc... and being refused to talk with someone in the U.s that would track down the payment via the confirmation number, amount and payment date, I sent an email to one of these representatives and the issue was forwarded, almost immediately,  to someone at DFS finance who fixed this in just hours. I would not use them for every issue, but the level of frustration we had dealing with their outsourced customer service was definitely relieved with this list, thanks!</p>        </div>	<div

They say the memory is messed up, the palm rest has to be replaced, the keyboard has to be replaced and the motherboard needs to be replaced and of course none of it is covered under the warranty.  The funny thing is that only the monitor was not working everything else was.  We had it hooked to a regular monitor and it worked fine no problems. Also, they are saying something was spilled in it.  NOT!  They are full of it!! They want to charge us over $300 to fix.  Legal action looks like the way we may have to go.  But we will see they are suppose to call back within 24hrs.  My husband is a computer tech and knows that this stuff has been made up.  They are so dishonest.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(21030816, 'kern')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>");
