With an Facebook post from Microsoft Singapore, we are now certain that the SG$5 deal for various Microsoft Office products was indeed a glitch. Microsoft will be giving back a full refund to all those who purchased Office 2013 at the unbelievable price.
However, it seems that people aren't too pleased with what Microsoft is doing despite Microsoft's actions to give a free SGD25 Microsoft Store voucher to all affected customers.
Statement from Microsoft Singapore:
We recently learned that some Microsoft online store customers were able to purchase certain Office 2013 products from the Microsoft online store Singapore that were not generally advertised or priced for sale, and are still pending general release.
To remedy the issue, we are issuing a full refund of these purchases of the Office 2013 products. To make up for any inconvenience, we have offered these customers a single use coupon for up to $25 off the next purchase from Microsoft online store.
We advise these customers to contact our Microsoft Store Sales and Customer Support hotline if there are any further questions on this matter: 1-800-818-5235
