I bought WinRAR , surprised it got here!

[Chronified]

There it is, I did the thing, got the physical copy.

 

I bought a license on Black Friday a while back for $10, recently decided to make a tech shadowbox and reached out to support, they sent me a physical copy for another $10.

 

 

However, I'm honestly surprised it made its way to me given the formatting of the shipping label. There was also no sleeve, it was bare disk inside the envelope!

 

I'm an Admin of IT Humor and Memes so I posted it for laughs, where I was met with a barrage of issues on the label. 

 

-Was shipped from Germany, but is listed with Sweden Post.

-Sweden return address, not Germany

-From address isn't complete

-Posten logo hasn't been used since late 00s, company has been rebranded

-Value listed at $5 (was $16.59 CAD with tax and conversion)

-Not my order number

-Nonexistant tracking number

-Commercial Sample

-Listed their phone number, not mine

-Declaration header cut off

-Country of Origin listed as United States

-No senders signature

 

It's clear whatever label maker software they're using is as old as the physical CD deliveries themselves seems about the age from when they switched from floppy delivery to CD.

 

Absolutely love it and all its flaws. I'll cherish it for the rest of my life!

 

Inb4 "JUST USE 7zip!!" comments

I'm a Freelance IT and had a client who insisted on sending .rar files password encrypted with AES256 , which Windows and .7zip can't handle (they use the ZipCrypto encryption methods) , figured I might as well get a paid copy and expense it. I know there are other free options, but I've been using WinRAR trial for over half my life so I figured I'd toss them some $$ since I'm in a decent place financially.

Did images break when you moved it, or is that just me?

They were there when I moved it. We have seen instances of external links breaking and prefer users to upload there pictures directly to the forum for hosting rather than linking due to this.

Wasn't external though, was copy pasted from my cloud storage, no idea where the duckduckgo came from lol

Anything against me deleting and reposting with active images?

You can edit your original and fix them, no need to repost the thread.
