Does Anyone Know if Dino Direct is any good? - Laser Pointer Forums

Vlaxatron · 10-12-2009, 05:27 AM

Ok they have a 200mw violet laser for $59.89 and they ship to the USA
I want to know if this company is legit and it will actually be close to 200mw.
And if you know please tell me if they accept debit cards i know they will accept credit i think it will work not for sure though.

Thanks

Here is the website for the laser

Human eyes are sensitive to this blue color and this high power laser pointer pen is much more noticeable than others. This laser pointer is best suitable for professors, teachers, doctors, student presentations and etc

Was there even anything not wrong in that description of a 200mW bluray pointer?

Honestly, forget about it.

They don't know what bluray is. How can you expect them to know about laser power meters? If you tell them that the laser you received is underspec they just won't return you anything. I'm not saying they are trying to scam or anything, but they obviously have an absolutely lack of knowledge about the product and so I wouldn't even consider it.

i've bought from them a few times. I can't vouch for their specs......but i know they atleast ship "something" to you.

Hi i just got my lasers that i ordered yes they take debit cards that's what i used. The shipping sucked i ordered them on oct 3rd and received them oct 30 these are cheap chinese lasers but i will say they made it from singapore to usa with no problems they marked the package as electronics and as a gift with a value of 10 bucks so made it through customs i don't have a power meter but neither of them will burn stuff they are about as bright as my ledshoppe 30mw pen the 200 being a little bit brighter than both the packaging was alright no instructions for the 200mw but the 100 did come with some funny chinese instructions that are hilarious. Also don't get insurance does not do anything and don't expect to be able to track the item either.

yobresal · 11-04-2009, 06:11 PM

Ha!! I just realized that they are a Fremont, California based company here in the US!!!that is why I was charged tax. It was an in state transaction. They are undoubtadly though a drop shipper and they just take the orders and pass them off the their Chinese counterparts who ship everything while they collect a small portion of the profit from the sale. I had no idea

With a name like Dino Direct, do you really have to ask?

roddenberry · 11-08-2009, 03:22 PM

Wow guys! Have you seen this?
0.5mW White Laser Pointer with Key Chain Silver Flashlight, Laser Pointer Flashlight, 0.5mW White Laser Pointer Flashlight - DinoDirect.com

A white laser? Four bucks? Methinks this might be a plain ultrabright LED!

The information on this site is so way off that it almost looks like a parody.

Mohrenberg · 11-10-2009, 05:04 PM

yeah, i bought the hosts for my kits, took about a month to get them with the EMS option.....i wish that these sites would prioritize EMS orders so that it's actually worth while.....i would even pay extra if they'd get on their slanted asses and ship my items sooner
