| 678026 | 2008-06-13 03:05:00 | Just got a Dell advert leaflet in my PO Box, delivered today. Just checked the date on it, and it said valid until the 12th June. Today is the 13th... What are they thinking and what a waste of money and resources. | robbyp (2751) | ||

What are they thinking and what a waste of money and resources. Either that or they got the promo date wrong. Did it come by itself or was there other mail with it? |

There was other advertising in my mailbox as well as my normal mail. The date was correct on the advert, because I entered an Evalue code off it, and it said it was expired. Also they have dropped the price of some of the stuff on it on their online shop, since it was printed, so the deals in it were more expensive than their current pricing. |

The reason I was asking if there was mail with the junk mail is that NZ Post deliver junk mail advertising from Dell with the regular mail during the week. They normally have 3 days to deliver the junk mail and have to have it all out by Friday- assuming it was delivered by NZ Post. |

I know for sure that we often get our junk late, though we don't really care. If you wanted, send Dell an email or something letting them know that you got it late. They'll sort it through the right channels and find out what was responsible for it, it may be a lazy junk delivery person. It's not really the kind of marketing that a company would want to do, I'm sure, but it is Dell after all. |
