Thanks for the guide. Using it, I decided to buy a 5mW 532nm Green Laser Pointer Pen with DX Logo (2*AAA) at DealExtreme.com for $7.15 and free shipping. :paypal: My question to you is, did I get a good deal? :thinking:

imo, yes, you did. but you may have to wait awhile to get it. i bought the true green 5mW for 10 something and it took over a month to arrive.

I hope that doesn't happen to me. It has been a little under a week, and when I looked on order tracking it said shipped. When you tracked your order, how long did it take to say shipped?

You got a decent laser for the money, so good deal. I would have gotten the 50-70mW laser from Priceangels for $11, but for a "safer" pointer, the DX one would definitely be my first choice if I wanted something cheap.

Well I'm glad I got a good deal. Thanks. :yh:

i think mine was in processing a week or two before it said shipped. but once it's actually shipped it should take about 2 weeks. i've ordered from rayfoss and o-like before too: they ship pretty fast (still using the standard shipping) and those take about 2 weeks.

edit: also it matters where you live in the u.s.:if you're on the east coast, it could take a couple days longer than if you are on the west coast.

I didn't even see david's comment. If it says shipped, it has shipped, and the only thing that will cause it to be late is mail problems. I usually get DX stuff in 4 days; 11 days is the most I've ever had to wait.

if you are meaning you never saw it in the "processing" stage, it's because i used the word very loosely. i forget exactly what it said but i'm assuming it was being processed somehow or waiting to be shipped.

Then you should get it by the end of December. Although shipping on the holidays can get REALLY slow.

dont hold me to this but you'll i think probably get it between the 18th and 20th give or take a few days depending on where you are in the U.S.. And assuming that the holidays don't slow down shipping...

Does O-like ONLY take paypal? I'm looking to buy at this second but I didn't want to have to start a paypal account just to buy lasers if it's only going to be a once a year thing :/

I'm not sure but it works great for me. Also, paypal can be used with DX, Ebay, and practically any other website. It would be a good thing to have if you buy products online (not necessarily lasers).
