I can't speak to asking for a credit or a refund. We have always received
what was ordered and in good condition and have not had to go down that
road. And that's over a 6 year period.

I love my dell laptops..... I work for a fortune 100 and Dell is
standard issue.

We had IBM on the standards list for a while. I had one for 2 months
and told them to go and get me a dell. I think HP is now on the
standards list but most folks opt for dells.

BTW I also "help" freinds get thier PC, I love Dell quality (for
server, desktops and laptops) and rarely have an issue.

FWIW, we used Dell for a great many years and were totally happy with
them. We used their machines ourselves and placed thousands with
clients. Starting last summer, however, everything seemed to change:
they couldn't get anything straight; their customer service went to hell
and, as to getting credits and/or refunds, while, ultimately, when they
basically have no choice, they'll accommodate the customer, they first
make sure the customer jumps through so many hoops it makes the refund
or credit barely worth getting. We've stopped having Dell bid on jobs.
