"~~~~~~~~ !!! FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD !!! ~~~~~~~~
Why on earth do these crooks have a 9.25 rating on here?! I guess it's because most people don't see the difference between a fake Microsoft COA and a real one. I wish I had read through the few negative comments before buying from them, because they did the exact same thing to me!
I have not purchased anything but Microsoft products from them, so I don't know for sure regarding other brands. But concerning Microsoft products, they sell original hologram CDs with FAKE, LABEL PRINTED, PRODUCT KEYS!! Some of the reviews on here talk about not being able to activate Microsoft software that was bought from Sales International...Well that's because they sent the same product key to many other customers, as well! Some people may not notice that they've been ripped off because the CD is authentic. However, the CD is not what makes software legitimate, but the COA that is included with the CD. As I said before, the COAs I received are fake.
I called customer service, who actually answered; I was surprised. They insisted that these label printed, black & white COAs are legitimate and from Microsoft. If I were a novice, I might believe them, but I am a seasoned computer technician, and I know a fake when I see it because I deal with the real thing all the time.
I asked to speak to a supervisor and they put me on hold until I hung up (20 mins). I called back, no answer. I called back again later, they answered, and I received the same treatment.
I have filed to dispute the charges with my credit card company, and I will be reporting them to Microsoft.
DO NOT BUY MICROSOFT PRODUCTS FROM THESE CROOKS UNLESS YOU ENJOY PAYING FOR FAKE PRODUCT KEYS!!!
I would personally never buy ANYTHING from them again because they obviously have no moral reservations about taking your money and sending you illicit software."
"Very cheap, everything was as described. Shipping happens usually same day almost every time I order. Will do business with again!"
"Great pricing and super fast free S&H via USPS Priority Mail.
BUT BEWARE OF SOFTWARE!!!
I received a DSP or OEM package with a black & white COA label instead of the holographic Security label Microsoft uses, when I tried to contact them concerning this they would not reply to my e-mail, I searched Microsofts System Builder and Partner site and found nothing where they had changed to a black & white COA label. I'm afraid this might be some oversea's or Asian pirated software you here so much about, if they don't contact me soon, I have no choice but to report this to Microsoft and make sure I didn't spend top dollar for pirated software.
BEWARE!!! They say Microsoft Partner, But are they??? I hate to write something like this but I've never bought any OEM or DSP Service Packs that didn't have a holographic C.O.A. Label and in my own marketing kit from Microsoft it states this is one of the things to watch out for.
I ordered this for a friend due to being out of OEM 3 Pks myself and didn't want extra 2 copies lying around waiting to be sold with a new system, they were the cheapest I found to fill my needs at that moment.
After this experience I don't think I will be doing business with them again.
It pays to spend a little more to know your getting a quality product and not something that has been pirated and sold for the real thing.
I will gladly retract these statements if they would only contact me and direct me to where Microsoft has done away with the holographic COA labels on OEM and DSP service packs, otherwise this will stand as a word of caution to the rest of you considering buying Microsoft Software Products from them."
"My experience with Sales International was very good. The price of the software was excellent, the delivery time was short and it was exactly what I ordered. I had a problem installing and had to call customer service, they very quick to answer the phone ~ no waiting on hold, no music, no continually pressing numbers. They were very helpful and gave me all the information I needed.

"I ordered a copy of Windows XP Professional Edition from this company. They shipped it (not as fast as they claimed, but only a day or two longer). When it got here, I was busy with other matters, so I checked, made sure it was Windows XP, put it in a jewel case, along with the original copy of the Product Key.
I finally reached the point where I needed to install XP for testing my software. That's when I realized they had 1) Sent me the HOME edition (not Pro), and 2) Sent me an INVALID Product Key.
This may not seem like much, but there's a little more. I'm used to using Linux, so I haven't seen many Windows CDs. This one had the product key typed/printed on a label -- just like an address label. Since then I've seen that other Product Keys from Microsoft are on stickers with printing that can't be easily copied.
I'm waiting for resolutino, and wish I had checked this out immediately, but now I suspect I was sold not only the wrong product, but given a "hacked" or otherwise unofficial product key."
"Excellent selection, excellent prices, excellent delivery. I'm glad I found this company."
"Very quick and smooth transaction. Excellent prices! I will order from Sales International again."
"I ordered several software packages from a variety of re-sellers all on the same day and my order from Sales Intl. was shipped and delivered a full week before I recevied any packages from the other re-sellers. The product (Office 2003 Pro OEM) was as advertised and was packaged securely. Great service at a great price. Sales Intl. is now on my short list of preferred software re-sellers!"
"Excellent,easy to use web site, good customer service. I will shop here again."
"I am very pleased with the service I received. My order came in a very timely manner, and is what I ordered. I will definately shop this e-store frequently. Thank You"
"I needed Windows 2000 Professional, with Service Pack 4 in order to upgrade corrupted files on my laptop computer. I found a licensed release of that package at www.salesintl.com. I am very happy with their prices, prompt service, and the professional interaction I had with them. I have recommended this site to my friends who are looking for upgrades and I will be using this site in the future when I need additional upgrades."
"their service was great and fast. I got my order intact and ready in just a few days!!! i will galdly order from them again."
"Great communications,easy checkout process, fast delivery, great pricing; highly recommended."
"Everything went smoothly and I received my product a couple of days later."
"My experience with Sales International went exactly as expected. I recieved my CD's and product keys in a timely manner. I had no trouble with installation or registration. Therefore I had no need for support. I will order from Sales International again when needed."
