Not a hoax! I bit and got my 2nd m200 with tons of filament in March. Awesome deal! Their CS is a bit slow but I normally go through Octave3D for repair and other things as they are local to me. My advice is bite on the offers but make sure you have someone to turn to locally for help.
No, it is not a hoax. It was very legitimate offer. They had several “specials” this year. They are riding very high with their printers and I’m using 5 of M200 in my daily operation. My longest print took 64 hrs without problems. I’m running them through UPS to ensure power quality.
My company was so impressed with M200 that we become reseller and service place for Zortrax for entire South East and South of USA. We have printers in schools and companies from Lousianna to New Jersey. We trust printers so much that wew are givng 2 years extended warranty for small fee for every printer purchased from us.
I can assure you that you cannot go wrong with Zortrax M220. And if they are slow to respond, please call us at 678-560-3739 or send emai. We are responding in 24 hrs the latest, sually next business day. In emergency we can respond in 4 hrs.
We are also very active 3D Hubs member and you can contact us this way too.
But unfortunatly for me IT seems to be a hoax anyway. I was unsure whether they would ship to me so I wrote to them a week before offer ended, but I never got an answer. The offer was like buy filament for 2200€ and get the 2200€ m200 for free.
Now months after I get a mail saying that they have had huge problems With Their mail but now i get 20% off IF i buy filaments for that. 440€ off IF i spend them.
So using them for serious printing makes me doubt! IF they have internal problems and I as a customer have to pay the price dont sound too good!
what do i say to My customers?
i Will check your page but IT is too expensive for me to buy from the states. I have to pay taxes twice then
I understand that they had email problems, but they have intrnet shop you can establish user id and password and buy directly.
Re taxes:
where is your home as I’m confused with your tax explanation. Importing from Europe, you are tax exempt. Importing to US you are paying shipping cost and custom charges for shipment, based on Invoice value. Some items are custom tax exempt. If you are comimg to my studio and buying “stuff”, you are taxed 6%, but if you are bying from out of locality through our web request, there is no sales tax. Unless your States is the one taxing you up to eye balls. We need to start where is your home address?
