Nothing But Software.com

Nothing But Software.com has been in business for a while. I have found them to dependable in quality and integrity view of things.

Before Christmas came around the past year, I ordered some children's educational software (Just Me and My Dad, LEGO Creator, and LEGO Land) that is listed in their 9 and under category and a PC game for one of our nephews (Black and White). All software arrived on time, within a day and in perfect condition. The packaging was sufficient and not lacking in protection for both the CDROMs or the cases. Nothing was cracked and the box was very sturdy. The price comparison was about the same if not less than most. It will all depend on what they have on special at the time or whether there is a rebate offered.

The website at Nothing But Software.com is very easy to navigate and I have not had any problem finding exactly what I was seeking. The design is fast to enjoy and easily adaptable to even the newest user of the internet. You'll find them designed in dark blue, gold, and white. A good looking site.

You will find that the site is not bogged down with sidebar or head bar choices and all the software titles are neatly listed by relevance on one page. You will not have to search page after page just to locate a certain subject.

The listings are as follows:

Education, games, applications, entertainment, graphics and desktop, utilities and tools, and Mac titles.

There really is a nice selection to search through and you will see that they are listed alphabetical. Titles are easy to locate. Of course, if you aren't certain what it is you want, they provide a really nice description of the software right under the titles after you click on a choice to view.

Finding the info that you want couldn't be simpler. The first link on the sidebar is for information. After clicking on this, you will find a list of 24 probable questions that could be asked and they do a great job with each section. I had some questions and other than one, the site completely answered them all. I had to call them with the unanswered question and they were very helpful and appeared to know exactly what they were talking about. I give them kudos for a friendly customer service.

They provide the shopper with a feedback form for comments. At least they aren't afraid of having feedback. Could be because they don't get much negative response? Certainly not from me!

When they list their product, you will notice they list the rebate info as well. Now, they take no responsibility in providing you with a rebate other than they send the form with your order so that you may claim any rebate you have coming to you from the manufacturer.

Nothing But Software does have some graphics but they are jpg form and optimized well. The pages load fast and pose little threat to those with a slower connection. Plus, nearly all their graphics are in a 50 x 50 size. Very small but tastefully done.

On the bar at the top, you will find tabs to categories like their specials they run and at a good price too. You will find new arrivals, and great buys. This one is where you will find the software that will have rebates tag to them. You can even preorder software when they have it listed to be ordered in advance of the release date.

Shipping is that standard of any site that offers regular shipping by UPS or air shipping outside the US. They offer priority next day, 2nd day, and first class air. Something else that is nice. They will list select software titles when you check out that will allow for free shipping on all your items if you order one of them. They list some pretty goods ones at times and you will also find a section of other titles they offer you at substantial savings when checking out. A nice feature if you like any of the titles offered. They have online tracking that works well.

Nothing But Software.com offers a live customer service rep and are listed with Bizrate.com with an overall 9.0 rating. Not bad!

I have signed up for their newsletter and if you do, they will alert you to any good deals that will be offered. They have them often.

My final recommendation is for you to look them over, try them, and see if you are as impressed as I have been. They will never be an exclusive store for me cause there are just too many good deals out there but they rate a return visit from me and more than once.
