I thought I'd let you all know that I recently purchased the Mac Love Bundle (last Tuesday) through GetDealy.com and I have yet to receive my purchase and I'm definitely concerned about the legitimacy of this company.

I've received a single email with a license for one of the 9 apps that are included in the bundle, but have received nothing else. I've contacted GetDealy.com support twice and have not yet received a response from them.

I'm now looking into how I might get a refund from them...

Here's a refresher: http://macheist.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=19856

I can't remember if that thread goes beyond GetDealy, but Christian Owens last 3 "companies" did the same thing to developers, publishers, and probably customers as well. I now steer clear of anything he does.

GetDealy uses PayPal, doesn't it? Just dispute the transaction.

UPDATE: Finally got an email response to my support inquiry five days later:

Christian Owens wrote:

Our apologies, the Mac Love Bundle has been an incredibly popular deal, with thousands of purchases, it's taking us a while to get through any support requests.

I'm not entirely sure why you didn't receive the provided products immediately after purchase, perhaps it was an issue to do with spam/ junk mail filters, this can sometimes be the problem.

The rest of the message included a link to a page on the getdealy.com website where i was able to enter a code and get all the licenses owed to me.

So it worked out, luckily.

Out of interest why did you not go direct to the actual Bundle?

It was either:

GetDealy, StackSocial, Cult of Mac are all just acting as middlemen affiliates.

Getdealy was ok for me, I used to get my licenses, but now it is gone (suddently) and I cannot download my items or get my serials. There are no support or response about this on the new site (paddle)

That's what he does, starts a new site and then abandons the old one. If you know the apps you need serials for, I would suggest contacting the developer. They should have a record of your license if you have the email.

Here is a history of Owens work, each past one no longer supported:
