Hmmm... Steve... Must be referring to my wife Stevi.. I can deal with that. Polite as always, these folks are, but again incapable of doing anything to resolve the problem.

DFS Gets Back to Us

Wow, this one's exciting, I thought, as I received a response from one of my dozen or so submissions to DFS's support submission page...

Dear Ms. Kosloskey,

Amazing... 3 more phone numbers in total to call... Again, not really surprised that we cannot be helped by anyone at Dell yet. Today, my wife and I will call the new and mysterious "Asset Protection Service", maybe they are the department that has "protected" us from finding anything out about our original "On Hold" order...

On a different note, I had this great idea for a new call script for the Dell fo9lks. It would simplify the process dramatically and cut to the chase:

DellRep1: Hello, thank you for calling Dell, how can I assist you?
Customer: ..insert question here...
DellRep1: I am sorry, Dell Customer Care cannot help you with that Dell Question you have...
DellRep1: Can I transfer you to another Dell department that can't assiist you?
Customer: &!@?@!
DellRep1: Alright then...

DellRep2: Hello, thank you for calling Dell, how can I assist you?
Customer: ..repeat question here...
DellRep2: Can I put you on hold for an extended period of time while I see if there's any chance I can assist you?
Customer: Um, Sure...

...2 minutes later...
DellRep2: I'm sorry, you need to call (xxx) xxx-xxxx..., can I connect you directly?
Customer: Thank you sir, can I have another?

stay tuned...
