Right... I think a lot of people left them after the whole Arctic situation.

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. aypal: 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.

Well thats good. It said that it was shipped on 12/7.

 

[randomlugia]

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

i'm not sure, it may have been that. all i know now is that i don't remember what it actually said.

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).
