I too ordered from the Softwareyard when I say Norton Utilities 2003 for around 5 bucks.
The order went through Yahoo shopping as they were a member (at the time).

I received confirmation that very same day. The next day, I noticed that they were no longer a Yahoo merchant. I contacted them via email to ask what was going on, and if everything was OK with my order. They responded shortly after, and explained that they were leaving Yahoo Shopping, and that Yahoo "pulled them off" too soon.

That was the last I have heard from them. Several other emails to inquire about the shipping of my order have either returned undeliverable, or have not been answered. I fear that my money has been lost. I will await my next chargecard statement, and if it has been charged, I will dispute it and report this firm.

There still may be time for me to get the order, but with no correspondance from them, I hold very little hope.

P.S.
Prior to ordering...I asked them about the negative comments about them "pirating" or "copying" software. The insisted that they could not stay in business if they did so, and they send exactly what they say they do as represented by they ads..ie...OEM software.

I'd settle for a pirated version now....

I ordered two copies of Nero version 6.0 through TheSoftWareyard's Pricegrabber interface.

At first, they only sent me one. After I contacted them via e-mail, they sent me another one.

Surprise, surprise. BOTH CDROMS THAT THEY SENT HAVE THE SAME SERIAL NUMBER (ending in 7268)!

The CDs that these people are selling are obvious CDR recordables and come in plain, white disc envelopes. These people are selling ILLEGAL pieces of software. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY!

I placed my order Tuesday around 3:00 PM, I ordered the NERO 6 Ultra Edition for $3.95, and the NORTON SystemWorks 2003 Professional for $4.95 the shipping was $4.95 to GA, the total $13.85 for software worth at least $150. I received a confirmation e-mail the next day, and the day after I got my package in my mail box, which means two days to my door – awesome. Both products came as described on their web site, they are the retail versions except the big and “expansive” boxes, also their installation and registration went flawlessly.

Overall, I would like to give this transaction A+A+A+ for the price, communication, and excellent service. Thanks, The Software Yard for a pleasant experience with buying software for a very good price, and I promise; I’ll back soon.
