Dell PPC2003 --> No charge??

Ted Mozer · 10-16-03, 06:36 PM

I remember seeing messages about this, so I know others have had the same experience......

Soon after (finally!!) receiving my upgrade disc from Dell, I received an email that my shipment was backordered and that if I did not respond it would be cancelled and my credit card would not be charged. Of course I did not respond. But I never checked if I was charged (or refunded).

Did anyone with a similar Dell experience end up getting the upgrade and not getting charged for it??? If not, I won't bother trying to find the applicable credit card statement.....

Ted,

I was provided the upgrade WM2003 disc for free, as I ordered my Axim with PPC 2002 after 5/23/03 (start date for free upgrade). Took a while to get it, but it did come to me @ no charge

aximfanatic,

Some may dispute it, but yes, NJ is part of the US :D

See my posts and others on the following thread, which should answer your questions:

Ted -- yes the same happened to me. I got up to 5 calls between the time I ordered (when it was on sale) and I finally got it. Each time it said if you don't call it'll be cancelled. However, when they started shipping I got mine and they charged me.

My Dell charge card statement arrived today. The charge was there..... Guess the Dell accounting department is in better shape than the others......

Could someone point me to the location where you can order the upgrade disk?

Well, I did get the upgrade for no charge, but in a different way. I just called Dell a couple of days ago about the d-button on my ppc02 being "squishy" and they sent a replacement unit. It had wm03 on it, but I didn't recieve disks or anything, but, technically, I do have the upgrade at no charge.
