Of course most of the lasers being sold are from companies in China. Having bought a 500mW firedragon and only receiving a 300mW and then having to send it back to receive another one takes way too long. 2 months sometimes just to replace a laser.

Now, if I knew the company sold GOOD quality products then I would be more willing to buy off of them. I see lots of people speaking about Laszerer, but they are in China, correct?

Heres the problem.

If you sell lasers in the US you must adhere to the laser laws and include the required safety features and testing or risk serious legal action.

If you sell lasers from china you dont have to give a hoot about safety and you can label your packages as anything but lasers so that customs doesnt open them. In the event they figure out that you are selling illegal lasers it doesnt even matter because you are outside of their jurisdiction.

That is why you dont see many US sellers. The safety features are complex and add a lot of cost so they cannot compete.
