    I'm about to ordering a Vostro 1500, but dell asks me for a Company name before i can continue to the payment section. :confused:

    What do i do? I'm buying it for privat use.

    Do you have a job? Just put the company that employs you in that box.

    I wouldn't do that. I'd just put "personal use" in there.

    I was thinking about just writing my name because i tried it out and the only thing it seem to do was add an extra line to the adress where the company name was.

    What do you guys think?

    I put "Home" for business name. I've had no issues doing this and receiving my package.

    Well they don't let you, because you are buying from SMALL BUSINESS.

    The best thing to do is just put your name for company name as well...

    ;)

    Yeah Home seems the best option for that spot. There shouldn't be a problem.

    Put whatever you want there.

    If you call over the phone, they won't let you order unless it's for business.

    Online, just fill in anything, and it'll pass.
    Stupid system.

    I ordered on the phone and they just put my name as the company name. No hassle.

    Won't be a problem. This is actually what a Dell rep told me to do over the phone.
