Why buy from ComponentSource?

11 good reasons to make ComponentSource your preferred choice.

  1. Software you can Trust
    The best products the web has to offer. Since 1995, ComponentSource has been accumulating the world's largest online repository of quality Software Components and Development Tools. We don't sell everything you'll find on Google or other developer sites, because more than 75% of it is NOT commercial quality! Every product we list on the site has first gone through a commercial and technical assessment process, to review such things as software and documentation quality, sample code, likely support issues and the ongoing viability of the supplier. We only sell products that we trust will be maintained and supported.
  2. Back-2-Back Support™
    Your right to a professional service level. When you buy products from ComponentSource marked with the Back-2-Back Support logo, you are uniquely and contractually entitled to a guaranteed service level for technical issue resolution - both from us and directly from the Publisher. ComponentSource is also the biggest buyer of Components, worldwide, so therefore has the commercial power to achieve the outcome you deserve. You won't get this service level anywhere else - not even if you buy direct from the Publisher.
  3. Instant Software Download
    No waiting, no delays. With ComponentSource, once you have purchased your products marked as a download, you get them immediately, day or night using our 24/7 instant software download service. We have been doing business this way since 1996, we never run out of stock and have dedicated download servers in both the US and Europe for fast delivery. If you have ever bought software online from a generic payment service like ShareIT, RegNow and RegNet etc, you'll know how frustrating it can be waiting for the Publisher to actually fulfill your order or worse, not getting it at all.
  4. Price / Performance
    ComponentSource is the only supplier of Components and Tools worldwide that additionally provides a Guaranteed Service Level on the products it sells. The price you pay is all-inclusive of this service level with no hidden costs. Furthermore, many of the corporate licensing options we offer are only available to ComponentSource customers such as our innovative and low cost Team and Site licenses and our "peace of mind" Source Code Escrow service.
  5. Frequent Buyer Rewards
    The more you buy the more you save. Every purchase you make contributes towards your next discount band entitlement. This means our best customers automatically get our best prices, without having to ask.
  6. Convenience
    Buy how and when it suits you. You can buy online or on the phone (toll free), on credit card, on account, by bank transfer / check, by Purchase Order or from a "prices held for 30 days" Quotation. Our customer service teams speak English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Korean and provide support in your time zone.
  7. Independent One-stop Shop
    Benefit from the efficiencies of one supplier, worldwide. ComponentSource is your single point of contact so whatever the issue, let us know and we'll do our best to resolve it. We can also save you time researching your options by offering independent technical and commercial advice on which product best suits your needs.
  8. The Latest Version
    Protect your investment with our FREE Version Upgrade service. For most downloadable products, when you buy from ComponentSource, you are automatically entitled to a free upgrade to any later version of the product, if it's released within 30 days of your purchase.
  9. Your Safety, Privacy and Security
    Protect yourself from widespread damage. All our download software is thoroughly checked for viruses and where marked, has also been tested for a clean install / uninstall.
