Desktop Stock Ticker | dell dddd dumb

dell dddd dumb

Before any investment in a company I try to do business as a consumer with that company. Balance sheets can only tell you so much about the “right” tale of a business. When the option came up to buy a new laptop for my wife I thought, Dell stock tickers has been fascinating to me for some time, let’s give them a go.

Let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty. After going through far too many pages and a number of weird web errors on the dell site my order was lodged. Content to enter off these bizarre website errors I went over to the track order page. To my surprise I learned my estimated delivery date for an off the shelf, uncustomized, mass manufactured, laptop was over a month away. I couldn’t believe it, I could walk 5 mins from my office to a local computer store and pay the same price for a laptop and walk out that day.

I set about to cancel my order aptly away. Sent an email, no response. Phoned, and irrevocably after meeting on hold for more time than I want to admit I was place through to a call center where I was able to cancel my order. I did a bit of reading around the web to see if I was the only one who had encountered this, nope.

I am left wondering, what is dell’s sustainable competitive advantage?

  • Simple order- nope.
  • Fantastic service- nope.
  • Fantastic selection- nope.
  • Quick Delivery – nope.
  • Fantastic prices – nope.

Sorry Dell, not going to buy a laptop from you again, and not going to be buying your stock tickers either.
