You must provide written confirmation that you are purchasing OEM software for new hardware, before we can dispatch the goods.

Generally we do not prepare quotes through the on line store, particularly for small orders, as this is very time consuming and does not fit in with our low cost business model.

By contacting your nearest store direct you can get quotes from a sales staff member.
