How do I buy BOM as a gift?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Do I get the discounted price that shows on the website?

When you go to pay, there is an option to click a box, clearly marked, that says "buy as a gift".

 

You will get a serial number in your account that you can send to whomever you like.

Just add the item to your shopping cart and then on checkout select "buy as a gift". Yes, discount applies. :)

Thanks, Ok did it and when I put the recipient e mail addresse to send the gift I get a message that the user is not registered in the forums.

Of course is not registered he doesnt have the game.

 

So how do I send him the game?

I don't know how you can send the game to someone who is not a forum member. One of the smarter guys here might know.

 

I was lucky enough to receive a gifted plane, but obviously I'm on the forum, as was the guy who sent me the plane.

I knew this was not going to be easy, if they make things this complicated then they are putting off people who wants to buy IL BOX as a present to new people.

Not smart at all.

I even created an account for the gift recipient and when I try to send the gift , I get user not found.

Because the account has to be e mail verified by the new member.

So no surprise gift and a pain in the ass process, not smart at all.

 

Never again will I buy anything BOX as a gift, and 777 you always want support and I am trying to support you guys, you just make it too complicated, I will not recommend buying as a gift to anyone.

This should have taken 5 minutes not an hour!

In truth, I've found the purchase, gifting, and installation options in BOX to be very smooth. I have no complaints at all.

 

There are a lot of very friendly and helpful people here, give it a few hours and I'm sure someone will set you up with a good answer. :)

Sorry, but we got sick of fraud so we had to make gift recipients have a BOS account so you can send a gift and we had to encrypt the keys. Don’t be pissed at us, be pissed at fraudsters. Our old system was much easier, but after losing thousands of dollars we had to change it. Fraud hurts everyone here. You won’t believe the lengths we’ve had to go to fight it or the lengths they’ve gone to hurt us. Please get some perspective. We announced this change in how gifting works long ago.
