so, time to blow of some steam.
two weeks ago i ordered a dell laptop and they told me it would ship around the 30th of september. today i got an email telling me that the delivery date was pushed back and i only saw 6th and i thought 6th of october? you were expecting something like that (i actually thought it would be 2-3 weeks)
BUUUUUT (yes, there's always a but) then i looked again and i saw 6th of fucking NOVEMBER! god dammit! are they kididing me? that's over freaking month - you'd actually think you get a half decent treatment for the kind of money you pay but apparently no, you don't.
and it's not like i'm gonna need that thing... noooo sir. means i'm gonna have to figure a way out to do the whole stuff i was gonna do on my laptop when i move in 2 weeks (since i'm going to uni, i'm still home on weekends but that limits me tremendously...

wooo, that felt good. thanks for listening Wink
and sorry for missing punctuation and lack of grammar, spelling or whatever in this post.
i'm too pissed to check

Always pay VISA. Tell the company to cancel because you can't be bothered to wait that long. Then if it is a credit card call them and tell them DELL is dicking you around and to stop payment.

whats with the ppl on here ordering shit all the time off the internet or from somewhere?
why not go to a store and pay for it and get it that day if you need it so badly? seriously.

When my old comp broke (actually, my cunt of an exwife broke it the day she left, fuckin whore), I went out the next day and bought a new one. Plain and simple.

I dont understand why you guys order everything...is it because there is lack of quality or selection in your country or something? (which doesnt explain why Spykez orders everything aswell, considering he lives in the US and you can get anything in the US and Canada).

Well better prices and no sales tax are always nice. Plus I like to build and upgrade my computer myself. I would never buy a pre-assembled computer. This not only is my hobby but benefits me in many ways such as being able to put the exact hardware I want in it and not having to settle for little to no options. I also love to OC and pick hardware specifically good at it with a Dell from Best Buy that would never be a option with the shitty motherboards you get from and they always use shitty ram.

At the end of the day my computer is much more likely to out preform yours if mine is built and yours is purchased at the exact same time. Mine will also cost less in the end and I will have the satisfaction of building it myself from the choosing of hardware to installing the OS.

I can't wait till my son turns 6 and he builds his first PC with my help Smile

even still, you can get all the parts you need at pretty much every computer store....why go on line? i personally wouldnt do, but i like to do shit right away. I dont like waiting for things, especially when you dont have to wait.

Cancel the laptop and get yourself to the shops. Hell if you complain enough to Dell they'd even give you something. Don't take it lying down.
