Hi there!
I almost ha
ve enough money saved up to purchase a Graphtec CE5000-120 cutter to have it shipped internationally to my Australian address. The hard part is finding a distributor who ships here let alone for a reasonable price.
Has anybody here done or know of someone who has done business with SID? Signs International Distributor
The reason I’m posting this is because I have two concerns..
1. The little amount of information I found googling this company
2. The obvious being their “sale policy” which indeed first impression, looked to be a blatant scam. (read highlighted section in email below)
I emailed them this question a few days ago:
 | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | Hi there! I live in NSW, Australia and want to purchase a CE5000-120 cutter. I do understand that warranty for this item will be void if you sell internationally. Would you accept $3000US including shipping to my address (town near Sydney) I do have contacts who would also like to purchase this model cutter as well. Please contact me by the email provided. | |  | |  | |

Thanks for your interest regarding the purchase of Graphtec Equipment from SID Signs. We are able to sell the specific model you are looking for, at the at the price range you are interested into. Our sale policy is the following; we will send to you a credit card form, which you will need to fill out along with a photo ID picture matching the name on the card. We will than ship the equipment to your desired address in Australia. Please let us know if there is anything we could do to assist you into doing the transaction; don’t hesitate to write to us or contact us by phone if you have any question or concern. We look forward hearing from you soon. | | | | | | |
The only payment method I will be using is
PayPal (unless someone can recommend a respected distributer thats deals otherwise.) I plan on telling them this in my next email if indeed they are a legitimate business. It's becoming a desperate struggle to find anyone that deals with Australia when it comes to this specific cutter or any of the CE5000 or FC7000 for that matter. Your wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Glen
