Even though the support is in India, it has been of pretty good standard on all of the very few occasions I have ever had need to contact them. Dell, unlike some pc mail-order vendors, seems to have got things mostly right. I have to congratulate them on the good service and their brilliant machines."

I put through an order all of I wanted, about 12 items in total, entered all my details and YAY it was done!! I expected my delivery in 7 or so days. No deliveries are hardly ever on time. Even 3-4 days was a bonus for me. But no, it wasnt 3-4 days, it wasnt 7 days..IT WAS NEXT DAY. At no extra charge to myself!! And the best bit?? "WHAT?" I hear you cry?? There were some extra labels, and an extra folder in the delivery which I didnt order. I called up Rymans, and they told me "just keep them at no extra charge, it would cost us more to get them couriered back here". WOWWWWWWWWWWW was i impressed? I sure was. I will definately be using them again for all my stationery needs!"
