Anyone know this company?

They seem to offer Microsoft stuff at massive discounts from what looks like a normal website. e.g Office 2007 full suite for about £80 rather than £270.

I need to buy a few copies and wondered if anynoe had used them, though the words "if it looks too good to be true" are ringing in my ears

Thanks

Is your software authentic?
All our software is 100% authentic. Some products are priced much lower at Academic Pricing Levels. These products require eligibility. Volume Licensing programs provide much lower prices.


Seems to be the academic licences they are selling.

In any case, if they are claiming to be legit, they don't have a physical address or telephone number.

Nice of them to have a lovely returns policy which seems to omit where you can return things to...!

I gues you send it back by FTP - the modern version of faxing a fax back to the sender when it was a wrong number..

What are my payment choices?

We accept Credit card and Paybal.

Can I return the software, if I don't like it?

Yes, for sure. We have the 30-days free return policy. If you don't like the software you buy, within 30-days, you can free to get your found back.
Paybal?

You can free to get your found back?

No contact number, no address, no company information....

Doesn't bode well.

Softwareforstudents doesn't sell the version with Outlook Business Contact Manager - anyone know where you can get that version of office cheaply? Unfortunately BCM isn;t available as an add-in
