I’ve just spoken to a very rude customers service staff to check for a refund I didn’t get. He not only screamed all the time as well as he expected me to guess that he wanted the last five digits of... See more

Great Product

Great Product. Just annoying to have to wait till the next day to be sent a link to download your purchased product. And if you purchase 2 sets of 3 months after each other = 6 months. It would be great to be offered a discount on a further 6 month contract. Besides this, the product is great.

Lack of communication

This is based on the fact that I have still not receive my R19 upgrade and had been given no explanation until I contacted Maxon myself. Surely if there is a problem with the database for generating R19 serial numbers it would have been polite to let their customers know.

Far too expensive overall

The price of their main products is way over the top of what we’d expect. If they reduced the price they’d likely find less people using cracked copies of it and more people spending money with them. But they are stubborn and fail to see this simple business sense. If they carry on the way they are they won't last much longer as it will become unsustainable. It's sad really.

Okay, but not perfect.

Usually when I pay for a digital download I expect the link straight away, not three days later. Also didn't receive the payment receipt until some hours after the transaction, which had me quite worried as it was quite a bit of money.

Reply from Maxon UK

Thank you for your comments. We do say on the order page that orders are processed during working hours only 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. This is on all pages next to the add to cart button. As you ordered on a Friday after 5pm, the order wasn't processed until Monday. We also explain on that statement about order processing taking a while because serial numbers need to be manually processed by our HQ. Order confirmation was sent straight after your order (it's automatic). Our shop reports show the order at 5.11 pm and the confirmation email sent straight after payment was taken. We haven't heard of any other reports of delayed order confirmation however we will keep an eye on it so thanks for letting us know.

Streamlined and simple and fast

Streamlined and simple and fast. You can download a copy of Cinema 4D instantly. The customer service is great over the phone and the company itself is renowned for personal troubleshooting.

There is no need for manually activated …

There is no need for manually activated downloads these days, especially with such expensive software. Frustrating to have to wait if ordering while Maxon is closed. Different emails with separate temporary and final serial numbers delivered over a period are also an inconvenience for legit customers.

Overall, the ordering & delivery of Cinema4d leave much to be desired, and should be much more customer focussed.

Support is good, quick reply to queries.

Service good but....

had to make a follow up telephone call asking for my "permanent serial code". They apologised, but after buying the product online, I'd expect a more efficient method perhaps?

good service, but would like it as soon as i pay!

all very straightforward buying cinema4d through the website, although would have been nice to have the product straight away after spending so much money on it! realistically only had to wait overnight for the links and serial numbers to come through, so ok really.
