| 186161 | 2003-10-24 05:43:00 | Has anybody else who does not live in Auck, Wellington or ChCh tried to purchase a Dell system online and found that they cannot identify their home city in the address field? Despite pointing out the problem to Dell I am unable to purchase a computer to be sent to a city other than those above. I wonder how many other sales Dell are missing out on. What really infuriates me is that I really want an Insipron 5150. I live in New Plymouth and I certainly will not place an order for a $4000 computer with Wngt, Auck or Chch featuring in the delivery address. Please send to New Plymouth via Auckland! ...what? I'd appreciate any feedback to add weight to my argument to Dell. regards Lindsay |

| 186164 | 2003-10-25 02:32:00 | Dell's programmers probably looked at an American map of the world, and saw only those three places shown for NZ. It could be worse ... I've seen American "world" maps which don't include NZ --- once in Scientific American. :_| | Graham L (2) | ||

I've seen American > "world" maps which don't include NZ --- once in > Scientific American. :_| LOL I was at a conference in Barcelona, Spain a few years ago where the NZ contingent was the third largest (after USA & South Korea) and the massive world map they used as a backdrop to the stage was missing NZ. A group of kiwis complained to the organisers on the first day, and by that evening there was NZ - twice the size of Australia - in its rightful place :D Mike. |
