DO NOT BUY ALIENWARE PRODUCTS! Worst after-sale service ever!

I bought a 34-in Alienware monitor this year and after 4-5 months, it started making popping and crackling sounds.

I ceated a service request, the technician support told me it was the sound of fans inside. I explained it was not a fan sound, because the sound exists as well after fan stop.

I spent hours recording videos and finally the agent understood me. He called and asked me to find customer care and request for a return and refund. 20 minutes after the phone call, he called me again and told me that he discussed with his manager and colleagues, he could now offer me a replacement instead. I accepted the solution but I was going to have a vacation outside of Canada for a month, he told me no problem, the replacement could be processed once I come back. All I needed to do is starting a new request and tell them my old request number. After the phone call, I emailed him as well to double check and make sure that I will get a replacement for sure after coming back so I do not need to explain everything again, he promised me and said yes.

HOWEVER, after I come back, they refused to send me a replacement and said it was a fan sound. I said it was not because I can certainly recognize a fan sound. The service representative acted like he has never been to a school and he could not read at all and kept telling me it was a fan sound.

After this meaningless argue, they changed a service representative for me. He asked me to do several self-checks which I had been asked to do a month ago. I did again and the guy told me it was the sound of fans, and he could request a refund from internal team for me. I was totally speechless but accepted because I did not have any other options.

T il today, I am still waiting...

I would not be that mad even if they directly told me that the problem was not under coverage... The point is that they do not do as they promised. Obviously, they are not trained at all.

I have bought 1 Alienware laptop, 4 Alienware desktops and 6-7 Alienware accessories including mice keyboards headphones and a monitor in the past 10 years. But I am pretty sure this one will be the last.
