Well Fat Cat Dell responded to the Post about the Wasteful Shipping practices done by what appears to be their third party Vendors…  So, My thoughts…   AWESOME JOB DELL,!!! say…WHAT!!!   now WAIT WAIT WAIT right there…  I am NO DELL FANBOY OK, I use APPLe and have been for a while now…   But…. I am a PRO-CUSTOMER SERVICE Man, and WiLL Always be for quite some time…  So Please, Please keep reading on…

These big Companies are catching on fast….  I mean real fast…  They see what can happen if a Digg Effect gets ahold of any bad PR thats lurking around…   These damn interwebs are making News travel extremely fast, and a bad taste in the mouth is harder to wash out then a Simple response in acknowledging a fault or rectifying a Fault…   In this case…  Dell knows that the shipping isn’t as Green as they planned…  Of course this isn’t their intention and they set standards that separate vendors must adhere to.  When they don’t, the hammer must be thrown down on them…  WAIT, THESE ARE THE LITTLE GUYS!!!

Our rants, such as the Consumerist, Gizmodo, and of course us, are going to be the Cause of smaller shipping companies getting their biggest shipping contracts pulled.  What the Hell can they do?  OWN UP, apologize, and pull off something QUICK.. ANYTHING, go YouTube your company using same size Box Holding up a Planted Tree or 10.. ANYTHING…  I am assuming you don’t have much time and the Bad PR you have caused these big Companies aren’t worth a few guidelines you didn’t Follow.  SHOW DIGGERS, SHOW GIZMODANS, SHOW Y2KERS You KNOW you screwed up and throw a response showing that You are Changing…..

Final Thoughts…  Reason most Diggers and Bloggers Complain is we likely figure that companies wont change, but most WANT and WILL POST about a company that Listens to its Customers rather than companies that do nothing….  People WANT to Care,!!…. mostly……  SHOW US YOUR LISTENING, thats usually all it takes…

We waste sooo much in this Country, the linking article shows soo many good points.  This item was shipped cross country most likely.  Using Air, truck, and hand delivery.  This box takes way more space in the airplane causing less room, more trips, more fuel, as well as more room in the UPS truck, again, more trips, less room.  I mean true, dell probably sells this for less, but by the time it gets to your door, you saved 2 bucks and just contributed to about 100fold enviorment pollution then buying at your local best buy or electronic store.

DYING WORLD

Not your fault, you don’t think about these thing’s when you see a cheap item online.  It’s the Giant companies i think that should be FINED and Liable for these mistakes, that’s what is going to have to change is Regulations put on these companies…  I’m sure their paychecks to congress saves them more money that buying multiple box sizes, and just use one for most of their shipping.

POINT!!!  -  We can try to be more eco-friendly as a Consumerist, but it is all for NOTHING…  It’s the big companies that HAVE TO CHANGE, not us.
