I wish I had your your sales rep at Dell......... blowing off $20K of
systems because of an 'error'. I was kind of surprised that these high-end
configurations had a 17" CRT rather than a 19 or 20 inch high-end LCD. I'm
even more surprised you can't find eager buyers in LA. Hell, soemone would
drive from San Diego for a buy like you're offering. Think of all the
shipping hassles you'd save and extra profits you'd make.

BTW, where's your company website?? Any company that can drop $20K on a few
computers is obviously a serious player in the industry, right? Do you even
have a domain name? No, AOL.COM doesn't count.

If Dell gets a return, the complete cost of the computer comes out of
the salesman's margin numbers. The sales staff is far better off to
generate an order credit and just give you the machines. If it was
indeed a shipping error, nothing would be billed anyway, a return on
half a dozen XPS machines would kill a whole week's margin, and quite
possibly lead to the salesman getting fired.

Keep the computers.

And telling a customer to keep a shipment of PC's wouldn't!
If it was a shipping error, there would be no adjustment to the sales margin
either.

As he would if the customer didn't pay for them.
