Hi forum,

I looked on the internet for a laser to purchase back in June. And it looked like my timing was perfect, because this new 1w blue arctic laser from wicked lasers was just "released".
I quickly ordered one after seeing a thread here about how big of a deal it was.

Ordered 6/10/10
Knew that there would be a "2 week" leadtime as per Wicked lasers site at the time of ordering.

Fast forward to September, I call them to see where my order is. They state that the S3 arctic will begin shipping September 13th and that my order would ship then and would most likely be delivered around the 16th.
After a week of waiting for the laser to arrive, I call back to see whats up and if I can get a tracking number.
Well, they say they cant give me a tracking number as its not popping up in their system.. told me that a supervisor will contact me with the tracking number. and thus told me to wait some more.
I called around 1 week after that....same story, "customer service" lady rudely saying she doesn't know and that she can have somebody who will find out call me back later.

Well, I've waited enough now..I called them about 15 minutes ago wanting answers, and the lady on the phone says that she currently can not check on existing orders and that I need to leave my callback number.... yet again.





So now its close to 6 months of nothing. What the fuck is going on?
Is anybody else in the same boat as I am?

Many are in the same boat... People who ordered last received
first,some are still waiting, but most canceled their orders after
finding this forum ;)


Have a look in the buy and sell section, there are many members
here who sell lasers that are more reliable and higher powered.. :)

Like everyone ? Just cancel your order as I did .. and go for some other seller, or homebuild (as I did, see my sig).

I ordered June 19th and canceled on Aug 24th because they lied about shipping. That is also the same time I joined LPF. If you decide to cancel just send an e-mail to sales from their web site and in the subject line put "CANCEL ORDER #xxxxx
and they will cancel your order. Depending on where you are, if in the US and on the West coast chances are you laser will get confiscated by the FDA. If it is coming thru the east coast it might make it. But I wpuld cancel my order and buy one from someone here on the forum.

I will go ahead and cancel it then. Hopefully it doesn't take them another 6 months to refund my payment.

I used that electronic form (special subject of the mail) .. confirmation came within 20 minutes, and refund confirmation in half a day.
