I buy software from them all the time and never had an issue. My recent buys have been, Adobe Lightroom 4, Photoshop CS6, Dreamweaver CS6, and Adobe Acrobat Xl to name a few.
That said, what I wouldn't do is buy from them if they are shipping from a 3rd party outside of Amazon. If it's sold by and ships from Amazon, I'm in, if not, I'm out.
Anyway no issues here.
I could argue the opposite, backed with actual experience, but ok
I buy all my stuff from Newegg. Never had a problem. A few things I bought from Tiger Direct. But there I have to pay sales tax because they are in Florida.
I buy a few electronic items from Amazon (not their Marketplace vendors) but I get my software from NewEgg, Fry's (the actual store), or directly from the manufacturer. Most of the rest of my electronics come from NewEgg.
I won't buy any USB flash drives or camera cards from Amazon, either.
Yeah, that another thing I like about Amazon, no taxes as well. Depending on where you live.
Anyway all retailers have issues from time to time, but I find Amazon's customer service to be pretty good. Of course no one is perfect so... I just know in my 13 years of dealing with them has given me pretty good service.
The other thing with them is they are a reputable dealer so "unauthorized dealer" issues don't pop up should you need warranty service. This is why I usually buy from them, and not their Marketplace sellers. Especially expensive items.
