I ordered a DIY 501-b 2w 445 on Jan31 after browsing the forums and seeing post about reduced turn around times.
During the period of wait I was able to purchase and assemble 3 units that were sourced out of the States. Diodes, modules and drivers from DTR and hosts and contact boards from Survival lasers.
I received my order on Mar 15. When I did to my surprise the unit was assembled and ready to add batteries. I payed for $40 for shipping however the shipping total on my package only showed $9.XX USD. I am very satisfied with the laser thus far and have no problems with it. I however am more of the DIYer and like to solder and tinker with stuff so an assembled unit wasn't ideal. Joker said that he would refund +$10 of the over charge from shipping. There however is an issue with my paypal and do not think I can receive money so I have asked for the funds to be donated to the forums here. There was an issue with one tracking number not working along with a period of time my unit was said to be ready but not yet shipped. Once I did get the correct shipping it took about a week for it to arrive.
All in all I'm satisfied with my order however I wish communication was clearer and first stated "should be ready" was actually only a few days before I had a working tracking number.
