My serial number came this morning from T+S, but I was too busy to deal with it.  Among other things, the Composers Roiundtable podcast I do with Simeon was today.

Anyway, Native Access wouldn't accept the serial.  I've sent a note to T+S and I am confident they will work out the problem.  But I was really looking forward to setting everything up today.   Kicking myself that I didn't try the serial right away while they were still open.   ?

Maybe they copied the serial by hand?   Native Access knew it was for Komplete 13 Ultimate CE. 

They sent me a photo of the serial number from the box today. It worked!  Just wanted to pass on the great customer support from T+S.  You can always buy with confidence from them.

Something  I have noticed about T&S and they are doing again on this offer. It is free shipping on orders over £75. But they put the amount before VAT (which is £70+) to calculate on. Which means they then add on shipping . Bringing it up to the same price as NI. I've been caught by them before. Adding up goods to reach a total to get free shipping but had it added on anyway because of how they calculate.  Not a big problem but just seems a "hidden way" of doing things .

Same for me. Now I have 43 new products added in Native Access to explore. I should be satisfied for a while.

I think that is the way most companies work. I am not from the UK so no VAT for me, but here in Canada, the "free shipping for orders over $50" is always before tax. As someone mentioned earlier, if you don't want the drive, just the serial like you would get from NI, T&S will refund the shipping. If they do that, is it then cheaper than NI?

I'll probably get it anyway due to the freebies. Without shipping they are asking £85, NI £89 which is the same as T&S with shipping. So not a biggie (but some UK retail outlets are charging the same and incl postage. First world problems eh!

Yup. FWP. As noted before, you do get a drive out of the deal as well.

I am weak ?.  I was gonna pass on this upgrade, but made the mistake of watching several YT vids on the new stuff.   Went the Time+Space route, where the shipping minus discount was equal to my sales tax (which would have been charged by NI direct).  I asked T+S for the serial and shipping discount, but no biggie if I end up with another backup drive.

My wife’s latest backup drive ended up in my mate’s new convertible.

 I have compared   Sweetwater, Musiciansfriends, Native Instruments Download and Time and Space with Fedex delivery shipping and Time and Space was the cheapest out of all of them.   I mean,  I get a Hard Drive and NI KU13 cheaper than all of the other places and it's being shipped to me in the U.S.

Both. But they go hand in hand. At least My terminal GAS is driven by the "good deal".

8dio took the thunder away from me continuing with KU or upgrading to KCE.   I don't want to do anymore juggling with disk space. If you haven't bought individual NI products you can't downgrade.
