The order was cancelled!!  Thank You Moderators!
I placed a US order where I intentionally selected 'Fast Shipping PC Deals' since I wanted to avoid delays. The order was placed on 8/13/2021 with a shipping date of 8/16/2021, and as of 9/7/2021 it has still not been shipped and there is no estimated shipping date. So, as you can see, 'Fast Shipping PC Deals' are bogus and have only led to a headache. After calling several times (it took several times because I was transferred and/or cut off), supposedly, the order is in 'it's end life' between Production & Shipping, which is area of the process that I will affectionately call the secret room.  You see, the secret room is a place that no one has access to and no one can tell you what is going on in the secret room, but they can tell you that as long as your order is in the secret room they cannot do anything with your order.  That includes cancelling the order and modifying the order, even though, representatives from both departments say that the other department can.  Its a clever but yet completely artificial way of not providing service while making you wait for Dell to get its act together.  I don't believe the secret room actually exists, it is more of a customer service narrative telling you that "we aren't going to do anything about it even though we know exactly where and who runs the secret room, you just have to wait indefinitely even though you already paid for the product." At the end of the day, this is not fair to customers as Dell is not delivering 'Fast Shipping PC Deals' as advertised and certainly not concerned about really addressing the delay since it is instead being covered up by the secret room. I'm disappointed, frustrated, and deflated.  Please end this nonsense.
