@stephendoyle Did you get an email address / contact telephone number? After foolishly purchasing a Dell Inspiron from Dell online for a Christmas present and then finding out the web cam doesn't work, I've been given bad service from Dell Support. It's still ongoing even though the only "Dell Support" department available is Basic Hardware Support. So, hope can anyone offering "basic hardware support" resolve a problem with the Dell Device software driver for the Dell webcam. An additional caveat is Dell Support keep closing the case down, which means I have to start from scratch everytime I telephone to chase them. I'm attempting to force a solution by making a formal complaint but you're way ahead of me here, there's no "Customer Services" and no one on the end of a UK telephone ot speak with. I persevered with one phone call (speaking to someone in India as usual), and she admited there is no Customer Complaints Dept and the only way to complain to to WRITE to Dell. Totally amazing! Dell have gone out of their way to obstruct customers and make it appear like a vertical brickwall that rises to infinity. Any of your thoughts, experience, advice or feeback would be welcome.
GIS_Canuck - Hello there - did you get anywhere with making a ciomplaint to Dell? Reading your post seems to echo what I'm currently experiencing with Dell "Support" who seem to be experiencing unfortseen difficulties progressing my web cam issue on a recently purchased Dell Inspiron something akin to struggling with a two piece jigsaw, but showing real strength and resiliance at closing my case, inviting me to another remote online investigation and starting from scratch, ignoring emails, not reading case notes (are there any?) I also opened an online Dell Support chat and stuck to my guns in trying to get them to tell me either the contact details for a Service Manager or a UK telephone for customer complaints, despite that they denied knowing how to contact a Service Manager, or even a Team Leader. They finally gave me a new telephone number 0800 587 1456, I rang and asked for Customer Services.
I weas connected to an operator in India, who then transfered me to "Customer Care" (in India again). The lady there basically said there is no Customer Services Dept that I could complain to or speak with, her role was just to take feedback and pass it onto the other departments. To complain, I would have to WRITE to Dell !! what an absolute joke.

@Billy Gerkin No...Dell has never answered any of my requests. I don't want to talk to a sales rep as I don't need to have anyone try to upsell me. I often just have one question that I need to have answered before I place an order...but Dell seems to be very reluctant to answer questions.
Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us. I am your Dell-Cares contact for order related queries. Unfortunately, our customer service is currently unavailable. We are available Monday through Friday. Please reach out to us on any of these days and we will be glad to assist you. Thanks for being a loyal Dell Technologies customer.
No..they never responded with an email address. They just directed me to their phone, and I'm not going to call them when I'm at work. I can't use my cell phone at work anyway because the service is very intermittent there. I wish Dell would get into the 21st century and answer simple questions through email.
@DELL-Cares auto response Hence, why email should be used...you could just reply to it when your customer service is available. Geez...this isn't rocket science.
@GIS_Canuck I did get a message from a user last week that confirms that the only way to complain is to write, I also got a message from Dixie Den with a name and telephone number but that post has been sensored by Dell, here's a snippet below
