Free Office 2004 Student & Teacher

ToddG · Dec 27, 2006

Can anyone shed some light on this? I received Office 2004 Student & Teacher edition (sealed box, full retail version) by US Postal Service about a week ago and have been completely unable to figure out where it came from.

Return address on the label is:

Creativity
3112 E Valley View Ter
Tacoma, WA 98404

Inside there is a packing slip with a different address:

Creativity
912 Omaha Ave
Essex, IA 51638

I've been unable to find the company online nor any way to contact them to figure out why this was shipped to me. I don't know if someone paid for it so I don't just want to ship it back, plus I wouldn't know which address to use. I already have Office 2004 on my Mac (bought and paid for before I received this package) so I couldn't use it if I wanted to.

Is anyone familiar with this "Creativity" place?

I tried searching for that company, but only found companies who develope software, not sell stuff like MS Office..

If you can't find anything else about it or anything, feel free to send it my way, I'll even pay shipping

If you don't need it, then eBay it.

Strange. I used Google maps just for fun to see what was at those addresses. The Tacoma one points to a group of trees in what looks like a residential neighborhood. The Essex one looks to be a tiny little town in the middle of nowhere.

Personally I think it was Santa Claus!!! Old St. Nick hooked you up.

Sounds shady. I wouldn't have opened it and just had it returned to the sender.

If I remember correctly,if you receive anything in the mail and you did not order it, it is yours to keep.
