Just got a friend in North Andover to order the Office 2004 for me - the rebate here was only for $50 and the cost was $199. With the higher CDN shipping on Office 2008 (ok, only $3, but still...) it meant that the "same" deal here in Canada totaled about $160 PLUS 14% in taxes, and in the US it was about $32 - no tax. Gee...which deal looks better?
Son #1 is visiting friends in NA after Christmas, so he can bring it back with him.
As a bonus - my friend has just acquired her first Mac and hadn't yet bought Office for it, so her husband will order them a copy too. Only one rebate per person.
Thank you, John!!! I've been trying NOT to torture myself with all the amazing Black Friday deals that aren't available here, so wouldn't have seen this if you hadn't pointed it out!!
