Total Satisfaction Return Policy (U.S. Only)
We value our relationship with you and want to make sure that you are satisfied with your purchases. That is why we offer a Total Satisfaction return policy for most products that you, the end-user customer, purchase directly from Dell. Under this policy, you may return to Dell products that you purchased directly from Dell for a credit or a refund of the purchase price paid, less shipping and handling and applicable return fees as follows:
