Has anybody got experience of buying from this site?

They have great prices for MS software but only accept Visa payments. I don't mind chancing the cost of an app, but I don't want to give someboody access to my bank account.

Regards

John

    Well I can't see a contact address or phone number anywhere, and the only method of getting in touch appears to be a gmail email address.

    As far as the website is concerned:

    Looks like they should be avoided to me.

    Web of Trust says this site has a poor reputation.

    Thanks. The prices look really good, but alarm bells rang, I'm just suprised there seems to be nothing on Internet slating it.

    But nobody with a good word is good enough to send me off with my Visa card tucked firmly in my wallet.
  • I was thinking of purchasing MS Office Pro through this website at the hugely discounted price of £67. I'm glad I came here first, thought it seemed too good to be true.......never mind.
