AlfaVitaY2K Posted August 18, 2023 ID:1583629 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Hello. I prefer to buy in physical shops and pay cash. My problem is I can't find MalwareBytes in shops in my area. I wonder why, since MB is a popular anti-malware. Is it because the shops in my area don't deal with MB, or because you sell only on internet?

David H. Lipman Posted August 18, 2023 ID:1583634 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Probably because of the high costs of both packaging and distribution. By being in a Digital Distribution only model they can keep the costs of the end product low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H. Lipman Posted August 18, 2023 ID:1583638 Share Posted August 18, 2023 My personal thoughts. An "official response" would have to come from a Malwarebytes Employee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted August 18, 2023 Root Admin ID:1583704 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Yes, we still sell them at Best Buy and Staples One of our employees commented they just saw it last week while shopping in a Staple in Indiana 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted August 18, 2023 Root Admin ID:1583709 Share Posted August 18, 2023 You can also purchase online such as at Amazon - the physical box. But the box only contains a license card printed inside the box. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have anybody in Italy to sell your product in shops? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted August 18, 2023 Root Admin ID:1583733 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I'm not aware of any. Though curious. If you're willing to buy from Amazon - why not buy directly from Malwarebytes? Shipping a box unless you have Prime costs extra. You're order is not associated with Malwarebytes so it will increase the time taken to verify purchase and license information. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted August 18, 2023 Root Admin ID:1583763 Share Posted August 18, 2023 They're everywhere like AOL CD's of the past. Every store has electronic gift cards trying to make a a few cents for every card sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes from Amazon using the gift card. You will have to buy another license from Amazon each time it expires and change the key each time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
