@Batman don't forget to add appropriate admin, handling, and freight charges to all of these deliveries you're expected to make... 😏

Also keen for 1.  I don't currently have any monitors but I'm not greedy

 

 

 

Also I'm free all day and in Auckland so let me know if you want any physical help of any kind but hopefully it doesn't come to that!

@Bee I don't believe the OP is anywhere even close to Auckland, based on previous posts, unless they've moved recently.

My ministry of finances will just simply cross the charges out... Nobody needs to see that ;)

Also a bit late, but surprised no one suggested going to the media?

At the very least, a reporter on the ground when the delivery is attempted could have been a deterrent??

Going to the media will only draw more attention to getting it recalled :)

Lets wait to see what gets delivered, 

 

Dell's most budget monitor appears to be a 24" 1080p, .. So it might pay to haul back the 4K 32 inch OLED expectations,

Waiting for Godot aka Monitors……..

 

In Waiting for Godot, the two main characters spend their days waiting for someone named Godot, who they believe will provide them with salvation. They pass the time with conversations, physical routines, and philosophical musings, but their hope fades as Godot never arrives.
