Within the last hour, Dell has shot to the top of the shit list. The long sordid tale -- as condensed as possible.

About a year ago, I bought an Axim 5 pocket PC. I was very excited about it. Well, after two suspenseful weeks it arrived. I couldn't be happier. Then a week later it stopped operating. Catastrophic malfunction. I called tech support and was sent a replacement.

That arrived within a few days. I got it operating. And everything has been ok. Except that the internal memory card read only 21.24MB rather than the 48MB advertised. I emailed tech support several months ago. But they never followed up and in the meantime I moved, so I let it go until things settled down.

Last month, I realized my warranty was close to expiring, so I contacted Dell Support hoping to have this resolved. Since the device was otherwise operating fine and I know the product has a history of unreliability, I suggested in my message that they just send me an external storage card to make up the difference. The tech who responded to my message, Siddhartha, wrote that they couldn't do that, but he already sent a replacement Axim on its way to me. Unfortunately, he didn't verify my address and it was sent to my old address.

Before the device arrived, I got a statement from Dell stating that if the device wasn't returned in ten days, I would be invoiced the full cost of the product. A week or two later, the package finally reached me. Just the Axim. No battery, so I had to take the battery out of my current one and plug it in, thereby erasing the old one. I turned it on, checked the internal storage memory... 21.24MB.

I replied to the email Siddhartha sent me explaining what happened. A tech named Pascal responded saying that he had taken over the case from previous tech and that, in fact, there was no problem. It should only read 21MB. The rest is used by the operating system. As far as the problem with shipping and the invoice threat, he referred me to Customer Support. I got the impression he was blowing me off. And I could swear that, even with the OS, the first Axim I had read 48 -- or 40-something -- MB of internal memory. I emailed Customer Support, but after a week, no reply. So this afternoon I phoned Customer Support.

The first person I spoke to was a woman with an Indian accent (call her Support Person 1 -- SP1.) I explained the problem. She said she was going to include an extended note in my customer support file. Then she said she had to transfer me, but that the next person I spoke with would be the last person I would have to talk to. Ill-fated words.

Despite the long deposition that SP 1 took down, Support Person 2 asked me to repeat the tale. I did so. I asked her to verify (1) that I wasn't going to be billed, or worse, dunned, for having not sent back the device that was misaddressed to me. I asked her (2) how I should proceed. What device I should send back. (Both?) I then asked her (3) to note my immense frustration. She assured me that I would not be turned over collections. (Needless to say, at this point, I'm not reassured.) She then said that she would have to transfer me. In the process of doing so, she disconnected me.

I phoned back the number SP1 gave me. I got a woman with a Southern accent (SP3). I asked to speak directly with the highest person up the chain of command possible. Of course, SP3 said that she would first need to know the nature of my situation before she could help me. I tried to assure her that it was futile. I needed someone up at the top of the pyramid, who could survey the entire field -- the whole empire -- and single out the person who would in fact be able to help me. She reiterated that she would need to know the nature of the situation. I resisted. I pleaded with her -- she was not going to be able to help. Again, she needed to know the nature of the situation. I finally repeated the story. Then, after many apologies and excuses, she said that she was going to have to transfer me. To Sales.

At Sales (SP4), I got someone with a Spanish accent. I said, "I've been on the phone for an hour. I've been disconnected once already. Transferred 3 times. Give me your supervisor." I got Olivia. I asked for her full name and location. Olivia Estrago, Floor Supervisor, Buenos Aires, Argentina. 1-800-449-3355. Ext. 46647. I asked her to put me higher. Give me a vice-president, president, CEO. She finally persuaded me to again repeat my tale. With much reluctance, I did. She asked me to wait while she researched the situation with their internal tech support office. I was put on hold. Although Olivia handled the situation better than anyone else I had spoken to until that point, she did not return. Instead, I got Bob, who identified himself as another supervisor. He said that he was not sure whether it was the OS that accounted for the low memory reading, and that I needed to talk with, yes, Tech Support. Full circle. He said he would connect me. I asked him if he could connect me with someone who knew what he was talking about about. He said he would. I was put on hold. After a couple minutes, I was disconnected.

So here I am. After 90 minutes of going in circles, and getting no where, all I can say is "Eat shit Dell." The irony is that I had just bought a new desktop from them before all this. If I had had any idea they were going to put me through this shit, I would have got an HP. Or a manual typewriter.

I've included the original email thread below.

Dear Tomo,

If I have understood your issue correctly,your storage card shows
21MB instead of 48MB.

This is due to the amount of space used by the operating system
and other programmes that are being installed on your AXIM5.

You should contact Customer Service at 800-624-9897 or customer_service@dell.com


Thank you for choosing Dell.

Have a great day !

Hi,

I sent the following message to the address you recommended. I have yet to
receive a reply. I have seen no sign of the package sent to me.

I just got an invoice for $329, but I have not received the replacement AXIM.
It appears that it was sent to my old address -- that's where the invoice was
sent. (I've moved since originally ordering it.)

Where can I find out the status of the shipment? If it's been returned to Dell,
please cancel the order and reverse the charge. I'll simply make do with what I
have.

I've included the thread from the original message below.

Tomohiro

Dear Tomo,

If I have understood the issue correctly then it seems that the
AXIM shows that it has 21.24 MB of internal memory rather than
48 MB of internal memory which your perious AXIM had. Please
rectify me if that is not the case.

We cannot send an external memory to compensate for that internal
memory.
We will have to replace the entire AXIM.

An order has been issued for replacing the AXIM.

Reference number : 041653776

Your order should arrive within 3-5 business days, provided the
part is in stock. Inside the box you will find a pre-paid return
waybill along with instructions to return the part to Dell. If
one is not included or is lost, please contact Dell to request
a return waybill. Use the box in which the replacement part arrived
to return the original part, then contact the local Airborne
service to schedule a pick-up time. You will receive an invoice
for the item, however, if the part is returned within 15-days
from the date of the invoice, you may disregard the invoice


To check status on the order, you may visit our web site for
information:
http://premiersupport.dell.com

Once you have logged into our web site, 1) Enter your service
tag & 2) Select Service Call Status. The date the part has shipped
and an airbill tracking number will be listed.

If your part has not shipped within the expected time, please
do not respond to this email, instead call our our service call
status line at 866-446-3355 for a faster resolution.

If you need support on a different system, or have a new issue,
please submit a new incident
