cnioptic can offer laser-related components
Laser optics, laser kits, laser crystal, laser marking, laser show.

That's nice, but you should really make it easier for individuals to order things.

^^ I agree there are no prices posted and that makes a little difficult to decide what you want to buy. I don't want to go thru the hassle of calling or e-mail to find out what the price is on an item or items and it is difficult to order. It needs to be easy to place an order or find out prices not difficult.

Just my opinion and that is why I haven't ordered anything from CNI

Yes, payment is really a problem for individuals to order, most business of CNI via T/T, but CNI has distributores all over the world, they can receive credit card payment. This link is tributors' information Green & Blue laser Red Yellow UV Infrared Pulsed laser module,laser pointers Portable laser RGB laser DPSS laser-all solid states

I am sure you guys would get MUCH more business if you posted prices. I don't even bother looking through your site because I dont mind asking an email saying how much is this, how much is this, how much is this, how much is this, how much is this. If I could just see what you wanted for something I would have bought quite a bit of stuff of there by now.

If you've ever tried to order from CNI you know the process is a lot more difficult than just asking for prices. They'll charge retail prices for the lasers then tack on about 70-90 bucks for shipping and there's usually a ~$30 Bank transfer fee.

Ordering from the distributors is no better. All of the distributor websites (Besides Laserglow) are pretty much useless.

CNI has some of the best lasers around, you just can't get them. I don't see the point of advertising the website here if they clearly don't want to deal with individuals.

Exactly.. Please read this. You would get a Shit-ton of sales if you wanted to.

Knock knock CNI. This is the biggest laser community, and we are telling you what we want so you will sell to us.

Sometimes you can get cheaper single orders than the same laser from say LaserGlow or somewhere, so buying direct might be a bit of a hassle but you can get better deals from them, so it's up to you.

Weel I know that places like laserglow add on cost as that's how company works. But, wouldnt you be more likely to look through their things and buy things?

I too wish prices were posted... I would probably buy stuff if there were prices posted.

.. Not even that. I've asked for a lot of (pricy) custom wavelengths. Getting CNI to say yes, even if you're willing to pay the shipping and bank transfer fee seems to depend on what mood the person on the other end of the line is in.

I KNOW you guys can do DPSS 490. Why won't you sell me one? 9_9

I'm guessing my 561 was just me hitting someone on the right day.

I had to pull teeth at first for my 671 DPSSes, and then for some reason they decided to do them, suddenly, for about 1/3rd the price, when Glenn asked.

"Distributors" won't even carry 473nm PGL-III-C's. I really wish you guys would just take paypal or credit cards. Really. You'd get a lot of orders.

Really, you guys make good lasers. But some consistency and predictability would be nice.

I have a feeling they are just going to avoid this thread now, or try to explain it by saying something that doesnt make sense.

They are the only company I have heard of (So far) that doesn't like to sell their product. (Excluding Large companies like Nichia)

^ LOL, is not that Nichia don't like to sell their products, is only that they don't like individuals and privates.

I have a friend that buy from Nichia (RGB leds), and usually he made orders in 10.000 to 20.000 pieces ...... they consider this a "small sale", and also asking for samples, don't give him any advantage from individuals, regardless all the LEDs he usually buy from them, so figure you a normal, private user, how much become considered .

By large companies, I meant the ones that only sells in bulk. Not there actual size.

We know CNI sells to single people. I don't get them. And I think the shipping and bank transfer fees are bull shit.

They ship express worldwide DHL shipping from China, that's not cheap. And wire transfer fees to China are not cheap either.

Yeah I suppose.. Is it really that much though?

We hope and need more orders from you. However, we are regret that we can not post the price list here, as actually there is a little different between retailers’ price and ours. Usually when the individuals purchase products from CNI the total payment including freight, insurance and bank charge which is higher than they buy from CNI's distributors, but the extra charge are necessary and can not be avoid. CNI can not receive Papal and credit card as it is inconvenient to arrangement.
If you are interested in CNI lasers please check Laserglow Technologies - Handheld Lasers, Alignment Lasers and Lab / OEM Lasers in Canada and Blue, green, yellow, red and IR handheld lasers for astronomers in USA. They can offer CNI products with good quality and service.

The site you posted for US only has 5mW lasers. Kinda limp there. Also, there are many lasers at CNI that is not on Laserglow.

And I cant think of any reason that you wouldn't post the price, other than the fact that you mark them up high for single orders.

Scroll down. I see a 100mW 405nm, 400mW 445nm, 50mW 473nm, 200mW 532nm and an 80mW 589nm.

Oopsies, Sorry, still though, not nearly the variety that we see at the CNI site.

Yeah, but that's a good price on the 50mW 473, that's $10 more than from the latest CNI GB and there's supposedly no wait and an included battery and charger.

All the distributors can offer all products CNI website shows if you request.
You can phone to them if you want to order.

Sick, cool. Didn't know that.

We have release the price of scanner, and release single mode Ld, multimode LD, pigtailed Ld.

Laser diode, TO and C-mount package, CW visible and infrared diode.

If any one interested please contace us, trade@cnioptics.com Thanks

Do you mean the PP fee they charge is inconvenient? What Not Just add it to your pricing? They even have the shipping address thats confirmed already set up. How is posting the prices of what you sell on your web-page inconvenient? Why would you make a post Advertising your Products on your OWN web-page and then tell us that if we really wanted the stuff there to not goto your web-page that you posted but goto someone else's? Why are you using DHL when they charges you Way to much to overseas ship? You would sell more products and make more $$ per item saving on shipping for both of us.

You really are making it more difficult and expensive on purpose it seems. Just doesn't make much sense.
