[...] Parcelforce texted the delivery slot. No delivery. Parcelforce and HP’s tracking systems then claimed I had refused the parcel. I scheduled a redelivery for the next day. Parcelforce then rang me and the agent acknowledged a delivery had not been attempted and that the tracking information was false. It claimed HP had requested that the parcel be returned to sender.

I worked with HP once at an internship like 15 years ago...I still avoid them because of the shitty experience.

I worked at one of their support centers decades ago now, and I'll never buy another product of theirs again.

I will say though that they did seem to support their enterprise hardware better, but thats not something I'd ever be in the market for anyway.

That's something. I worked at Dell for a year a long time ago and I can safely say it was the worst job of my life. Hated everything about it. I was jealous of the grounds keepers id see out my windows. Only lasted about 9 months. However, I still think their computers are decent as far as the big computer manufacturers go. I'd buy one today if I needed to. Although looking into manufacturers like system 76 makes me think I'll go that route for my next laptop.

I mean it’s not like a sane person would pay their own money to buy anything HP.

Still, I’ve been using HP laptops for 8+ hours a day in the last 5 years due to work, without having a choice.
