Difference between Mailorder and regular version: What is the difference between the two products?

I found this from another site: http://www.healthwarehouse.com/onetouch-ultra-diabetic-test-strips-50-strips-mail-order.html What does this mean and why are there different types of boxes for the same product? There are 4 types of boxes: 1. USA Retail - standard box found in any store meant to be sold to consumers. 2. Mail Order - special box for mail order pharmacies to sell to consumers 3. Health Plan - special box meant for health insurance companies to sell to consumers 4. Professional - special box meant for healthcare professionals to sell to consumers 5. DME - special box meant for durable medical equipment suppliers to sell to consumers All of these boxes contain the EXACT same product, but carry different prices. The manufacturers make them look different and label them as "Not For Retail Sale" in an effort to scare consumers into buying the most expensive box. In our relentless mission to save you money, occasionally, we are able to source a Mail Order or Health Plan box that is cheaper than the regular retail box. When we do, we always pass this savings on to you. The manufacturers don't want us to sell cheaper boxes, but we feel differently. Why should others get discounted prices while healthcare costs continue to rise and consumers continue to pay higher prices? Though the picture of the product you see could be a standard retail box, the item you receive in the mail might say "Mail Order Box" or "Health Plan Box" or "Not For Retail Sale" . Please be assured you have received the EXACT same product as the retail box, with one important exception: you probably paid less for it.

So far as I can tell, they're the same thing. The extra software is on the drive but can be put in a folder and hidden if you like. That's how I handled mine.

This is the full version that comes on the original DVD. Serial activation key is also included in this package. This is the same software package found here: http://shop.adobe.com/store/adbestap/en_SG/pd/ThemeID.30575200/productID.257993700 The only difference is that the outer box is not included, just the inner box that contains the actual software.

Probably no difference just a different seller. I look for the low price and sent by Amazon.

No, it was the re-released version. It had the yellow starburst with "the original" written on it. I felt I was mislead and this was misrepresented. It also didn't come with the white mailer.

I was at a local store two weeks ago (around 3/28/07) and the owner told me not to buy the regular version as he'll be getting the deluxe version sometime in April. I would guess it'll be available any day now.

That is a great question! I've ordered this item 5 times from third party vendors and received the OLDER version all 5 times! I've contacted Amazon a few times and informed them of the incorrect listing. No one seems to care to fix the problem at Amazon. Good luck!

I do not any difference. Is the same product I got! I really like it very much. :))

The one I ordered was no different. It just cost less! If there is difference, I am not aware of it.

There doesn't appear to be any difference, even in the price. Both ship from the same place, too. Probably the same product with a different name?

Honestly, I cannot tell any difference. I called the Microsoft Store and they don't have different versions. Strange.

I haven't had that happen with this one. Used to happen all the time with my last unit. I do wish however, that I'd gotten the package version over the regular mail version, because my frequent small packages don't fit.

I don't know. I read the info on both and no differences were indicated. Made me wonder if it was different suppliers.

The obvious difference is in the size of the cartridge. As far as the contents is concerned, I don't know if there are differences.

Not to my knowledge. This is the only one showing on Amazon. My guess is the "standard version" has something to do with the game itself (which I haven't played).

If you're looking to buy the boxed version, I'd say you're perfectly safe buying from Amazon.The serial number is included in the box, and should work with no problems.The download version might be subject to an occasional glitch as far as the serial number is concerned because of the delivery method, but even there I wouldn't hesitate.Amazon is probably THE BEST place to buy on-line, and should a problem arise, I have no doubt they'd solve it in a heartbeat. I've only had one issue in the 10+years of buying from Amazon, and they solved it immediately.Jack

No real difference...PC Version (Hardcopy) will send a physical box to your house. 1-14 Days Shipping depending on choice.PC Download (Digital) will send you a code to redeem on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/) 24 hours shipping (Time for system to send you code) at most.There's no difference as far as the game content goes...It's none of my business, but this game is very inappropriate for a 14 year old...
