Anybody from the U.S. ordered from Sold Out Software?

Ok, really dumb question: It's strange when I try to order there is no option to input your state. Anybody from the U.S. ordered from them before? Did they ship it alright without entering the state, or should I just put that info where it says county? Oh and £ = United Kingdom Pounds right? |
I haven't ordered from them, but it looks like you just put in your state where it asks for county.
And yeah, that's a pound symbol. |
Thanks. Can you tell I haven't ordered outside the U.S. before? :)
|
Counties are the UK equivalent of states. Kind of. Certainly, that's where the state should go.
|
Except counties are MUCH MUCH smaller than states.
And Britain is MUCH MUCH smaller than a state. And a fly is MUCH MUCH smaller than a state... ... ... but that last one is irrelevant. |

Excuse my passion for the pound, but it needs defending in the face of the Euro! |
^ I got the terminology directly from this site: http://www.xe.com/ucc/
And excuse my ignorance, but does this mean I can get charged different amounts depending on the current exchange rate? |

or is providence and countie the smae thing? |

What you pay will depend on the exchange rate, this is usually decided by your bank/credit card company at the time they process the transaction, but the amount shouldn't vary terribly. |
Thanks.

I ordered Broken Sword 1 from them a couple weeks ago. Just got it yesterday.
Nicely packaged, and very cheap. I definitely would order from them again. |
I own a couple of their games, but I've never ordered from them online. I've always meant to, from way back when they still stocked Redguard, but for one reason or another, I never do. Same thing with Adventure Soft and the Simon games.
|
Well I went ahead and decided to order from them. I purchased the Broken Sword Double Pack. Never played any game in the series before, so it should be fun. Hopefully I'll be able to run both games without hassle.

Wow, my credit card company called me this morning saying they had frozen my account due to suspicious activity. I had to call a number and verify my information and all my transactions. There was no suspicious activity, so I'm guessing a red flag went up when they saw a transaction outside the U.S.
|
That's a little over-zealous of your credit card company. :shifty:
I've used mine out of the country on several occasions, while on vacation, and never had that problem. (And I'd be pissed if I did!) |

We then had the joy of several lengthy telephone conversations with the bank to remedy the situation. I absolutely cannot stand incompetence! |
Well I'm not really mad they did it. I'm actually glad they are taking steps to ensure my account is safe. It just caught me a little by surprise when they said "suspicious activity."
And then of course I have the problem of my parents calling me up asking what I'm doing ordering things from overseas and explaining I need to watch what sites I do business with. (I'm away at college if you all are wondering.) Sigh, no one in my family understands gaming, let alone adventure gaming. |
