I know they often have decent sales on these, so just asking on the off chance someone bought an office 365 subscription on sale but now want to sell...? :)

I buy mine from eBay, it's just a key you can redeem online.

Are you after individual or 5 user home one .  I've got a spare individual one I can sell you (subject to finding where I've stored it).

I'm only a little over two weeks off needing to renew my MS365 sub (expiring 3 Sep), so am looking around for a good price on this.

 

Are there any good deals currently (or may be over the next few weeks) that people are aware of?

 

I'm only needing the 'personal' version rather than the family version - and the best I've seen at the moment is $90 including shipping from Computer Lounge.

 

I completely missed any decent sales on M365 over the year, so must do better next year!

 

Thanks in advance.

I think you can price beat (-10%) with WH Stationary. Let us know if price beat works with WHS.

Cheers - yeah, as my earlier post mentioned that Computer Lounge was the cheapest I could find - they charge $5 delivery, which is why I stated a cost of $90. Seems perverse that to get the cheapest price for an online code I have to pay for the ‘product’ to be shipped!

 

Thanks for the idea of price matching - will look into this, but I imagine it may need to br comparing a locally sourced product...

$85 is basically cost price for resellers in NZ so that's about the cheapest you'll see it I think.

 

Happy to sell you a digital license for $85 if you still need one?

Sorry I missed the computer lounge one. Yes - It is ironic that an online product still gets shipped - What a waste of human effort.

Possibly because retailers are allowed/able to sell just a bare lic key (sort of)
Ask them to open up the retail pack , & give you the key over the phone .

 

If youre upset about paying the extra $5 for delivery ..... I dont know what to say.  :-)
or buy from one of the dodgy key sellers out there, they will be cheaper .

I'm sure I've bought from them before. If I remember they do physically ship you the retail box with the license key inside.

I think you misunderstood my concern and quickly directed me to a dodgy reseller. Not very helpful.

 

I am more than happy to pay $5 or even more for physical goods. But something which we can activate via internet shouldn't be packaged and couriered polluting other necessary freights.
Resellers can potentially have a referral link emailed to the buyer and ask them to activate O365 licenses with MS - this shouldn't be hard.

If we can upload photo print albums via online for printing (at 3rd party shops like WS / HN) using Fuji tools, this shouldn't be hard .
