Grr... no response trying to register 五筆快打

[shibole]

Well, I never did get my license key for 五筆快打. My bro-in-law has tried to call shunsoftware a few times, and I've send them email.

Supposedly the "registration center" will refund your money if you don't get your key within a week, so I just told him to try to get his money back at this point.

I'm starting to see why most of the software is China is pirated.... It's probably easier to pirate software than it is to actually get a transaction to go through with a software company

Ha ha, is this banma.com? I thought I'd have a shot at paying the 25Y by phone. Couldn't put 25Y on my account all at once. Managed to get 5Y on, but wouldn't let me do any more that day. So every day that I've remembered for the last week I've put another 5Y on my account via mobile phone. Got to 20Y when it suddenly became 暂时无法购买. I'm currently debating whether I should slap myself for being stupid and give up, slap myself for being stupid and keep trying, or slap myself for being stupid and buy one of the 20Y 五笔 trainers they have. Either way, I'm getting slapped.

That's unfortunate. I had no issues paying by bank transfer.

Either way, I'm getting slapped

Would be glad to do the slapping for you.

No, this was using http://www.softreg.com.cn/ to register something from shunsoftware.com

So I'd avoid using them just in case they had anything to do with it.

When I click that link it redirects to banma.com.

Imron - I should just do that, but I couldn't be bothered going to the bank, and now I've got 20Y invested in ZebraDollars or whatever it is. And I just need that last 5Y . . .

Skylee - I suspect there's a queue . . .

@Roddy if only your bank had internet banking, then there would be no need to go to the bank to do the transfer

@shibole did your brother-in-law manage to get in touch with them via phone? What did they say?

I haven't heard from him yet.... but I don't think he's gotten anywhere.

Wow, ok so finally he managed to get something out of them after some number of tries. He then tried to mail me the code and then I never got it, even from him. So it almost sounds like there's some sort of invisible spam filter or something on my account, or maybe servers are getting blacklisted for spam or something. (Odd since I've gotten mail from him in the past several times.)

In any case I think perhaps it's time for me to switch email providers.
