Around mid-January, Wicked Lasers ran a few contests on their Facebook page all based around producing certain images involving Wicked Lasers. Yesterday I checked my notifications to be pleasantly surprised by the fact that I was one of three winners, getting a free S3 model of our choice equivalent to $299.99 (so either the +150mW Krypton or the 1W Arctic). I chose the Arctic not just because of the power but because I've always preferred blue lasers (having owned green and red before, I want something different).
Anyway, back to the point. How long do they actually take to ship? I've heard many different stories of their shipping; about 60% say they've waited around two months and the other 40% saying they've waited over 6 months. Bearing this in mind I regret the thought that I may never actually receive my laser firstly because it's won not purchased so I can't threaten them with a lawsuit or something but secondly because I just can't help but think that it'll just never be shipped... Maybe I'm just paranoid, I mean I wouldn't mind waiting a few months for a free Arctic if it just takes some patience.
Before anyone says anything, I have done some searching and it seems that they have gotten bad over time (I read a late 2008 post that complained it took 4 weeks... sounds quick to me :wtf.
I appreciate all and any help
PS. I live in the UK so that might be useful
I finally got it! quite impressed with it (I am a noob so I am very easily impressed), I see what they did though; I have to buy the expanded lens kit if I am to burn anything with it (besides my finger earlier... ouch). It did however come with the basic things:
- Safety Goggles & Case
- 20% Power Reduction Lens
- 100% Full Power Lens
- Replacement Safety Sticker
- Spyder 2 Holster
- Li-Ion 18650 Battery & Charger
- Bubblewrap :3
Might make a review for the sake of it ... just something to do!
