Anyone know if this company are legitimate/have ordered from them?

http://www.ukofficestore.info

They have paid for Google sponsored links which I guess don't come cheap. To offer a license for Office 2010 Home & Business for £89 means that these are either USA sourced licenses or fallen off the back of a lorry.

I've investigated this USA/UK licensing issue before when I looked at licensing for work. We have a USA office (and a dollar account) and was trying to get the bottom of whether we could purchase licenses that way this saving ~40% of the cost, esp. on Adobe software.

Normal UK list price on Amazon is ~£190 - yes, we're not still called Treasure Island for nothing :-)

Cheers, Rob.

I too was wondering the same thing. We have a requirement for about 40 licences for office 2007 ultimate (£65 on their website).

I am always suspicious and the wording on the contact us page is pretty awful, let alone there is no contact number for them.

Like my Mum always said, if it's too good to be true, it probably is!

For more than 5 licenses you should get them from Microsoft via volume licensing. – Mircea Chirea Aug 25 '10 at 10:51
Yes, you probably should however, under the volume licensing they want £422 per licence. Thats more than a boxed with media EULA?? Doesn't make sense as it's cheaper to go to PC World and buy 50 copies of Office? Would be interesting to know if this company is legite or not? – Liam Sheridan Aug 25 '10 at 11:37
This is a personal purchase so volume licensing is out of the question. And once again the draconian moderators of these websites really turn me off to them. It was a question about purchasing SOFTWARE and LICENSES. How is that quite not covered by "relate to computer software" is beyond me. – munrobasher Aug 27 '10 at 8:43
