Completely clueless...

If this is some kind of regulatory thing, the reps would have an answer ready for canadian customers.  I think it's just incompetency..


customer service at its best. LOL.

god so fuken horrible. I question the people who get hired, like some copy and paste response.

Likely, they are just behind the curve on updating .ca Hopefully anyway Smiley
Agree, and .com is so far more important than regional site

The big corporations limit their locations that they accept Bitcoin until they're 100% sure about where they can and can't trade it, Overstock for example accepted it in the U.S and now they're moving to worldwide, it's all just because the laws are different in each country.

UK has more friendly approach towards bitcoin than US, but you can't pay with it on Dell.co.uk. I don't think uncertainty over regulations is a main reason. They're 'piloting bitcoin' to see how it works out, if it's worth the effort - they'll implement it worldwide.

Or maybe international divisions have enough independence to decide on such things themselves?

No surprise there. Most of the sites are accepting BTC only from the US customers. International customers can't make their payment using BTC. I think Overstock is the only major retail site accepting coins from international users.

Canadian bitcoin laws aren't much different than US. if dell is scared of dealing bitcoin here then they are a bunch of panzies.

Canada is somewhat more strict then the US is in regards to bitcoin regulations. I think there would be very few situations when something would be illegal in Canada that is not illegal in the US, but I am sure there are examples.

I do however think this is likely some kind of glitch or oversight on dell's part. I think it would be more effective to notify them via social media as the "higher ups" are more likely to see what is happening in social media then what is happening in the webs chats

everyone should bug their chat support.  
The guy i talked to didn't know why the bitcoin option wasn't there, and said he would e-mail me back about it.

They accepts bitcoin worldwide the only case would be the .ca website haven't updated but their executives must have known about it.

You're confusing them with overstock who, IIRC, are accepting bitcoin for worldwide shipments of all their products. I would recommend them highly!

Great experiences with BTC and overstock sofar as well.

You sure? I think it's limited to US only (for now). I don't think they have bitcoin as payment option in the UK.

Unfortunately for customers in the UK, Dell’s adoption of Bitcoin is confined to the US. Customers in Europe will not be able to make purchases using crypto-currencies.
