Tips & Warnings
Having a Dell desktop computer delivered to your home can be more costly than other options because you will be forced to pay shipping and handling charges on several large boxes. Many retailers have an option that enables you to have your purchase delivered to the store free of charge, as long as you pick it up once it is available.
If you purchase your Dell desktop online, never give out your financial information to a site that looks unprofessional or that is not secured by a trusted service, such as PayPal.
