Microsoft Office Professional 2003 [OLD VERSION]

Ordered product never arrived, repeated emails without response, & a filed complaint with Amazon & no satisfaction leave me feeling ripped off! I'll NEVER order another product 4 my business through Amazon.

The company sent me an illegal copy of Microsoft Office, & I returned it 2 them. They were prompt with their email answers 2 me, & the refund was handled in a timely way.

When we received the software it wouldn't work & we had 2 return it. There was no problem returning the item & getting refunded. The seller was very pleasant & easy 2 work with.

While I was pleased with the ease of placing the order of purchased product, I was not happy when I received the order. The product was advertised as new in orginal box. It was not shipped in the orginal container & was not new or was somehow defective. Perhaps the sellars should be held 2 a higher level of accountability in their advertising.

Microsoft Office Professional 2003 [OLD VERSION] To anyone who reads this; I would be able 2 rate this product if I received it. I was promised delivery of said product between September 26th & October 13th. As of today, October 23rd, I still have not received the software. It would be appreciated if someone recieving this transmission would forward it 2 someone who could look into this matter. Needless 2 say, my reaction has gone from concerned 2 miffed!
