Multiple orders were generated for the same order. I called them to cancel them and they said it was fine. The charges were denied by your bank. Bank thought it was fraud. What they failed to inform me is that in their system, it was on hold or something. Basically 20 days later. It charged me for those orders. Over $1200 out oif my bank account removed. They couldn't do anything because the order already shipped, so I checked with FedEx and they said it's still in there hands. Called them back and they said there is nothing they can do all though it hasn't left their facility. This is the worst company I have ever worked with.

Microsoft does not acknowledge the sale of this product to me. If I had purchased it directly from them, I would have had to set up an account. Since I don't have such an account (I did not need to set up an account, because Digital River processed the payment), I don't exist in their system and they cannot help me.

Additional comment to Digital River response:
I ONLY HAVE PRIVITY OF CONTRACT WITH DIGITAL RIVER.
Further, it is not that the first product was defective. I never received the product that I paid for at all. I was paying for the download of some software and the information (a code) that I was supposed to receive on payment of the fee was never sent to me. Therefore, Digital River did not provide me with a working download - or did not provide Microsoft with the information they required to provide me with the download. Accordingly, I paid a second time to get the download for the first time. My entire transaction was with Digital River. I am not privy to whatever their relationship is with Microsoft.
I am happy to supply copies of the relevant sections of my American Express bill to prove that I made the payments to Digital River only and that I have made no payments to Microsoft.
