Hey everyone. I first and foremost want to wish everyone a happy 2012 holiday season and I hope that everyone has a great Christmas and a wonderful New Years!
I however, feel like I'm lost on making a decision on where to order my new laser from. My past 2 shopping experiences with trying to order a new laser, were.. well, to put it politely, the worst experiences I've ever had shopping online.
The first one I tried ordering, which I don't even remember what the exact URL to it was, which it doesn't matter now because apparently they got shut down after I reported them to the Attorney General for ripping me off. But, during that experience, I tried ordering a 250mW green laser and I never got my package.
The second experience, was with a website called 'texaslasersystems.com' and this experience was quite the ride, I'll tell ya that much. I had ordered a 200mW green laser from them. I checked on my order "status" and it stayed at the status of "processing" for over 2 weeks straight before I finally left them a nasty message through the phone as well as a nice complaint through email before I finally decided to go ahead and report them to scambook.com as well as reporting them to the Attorney General as well. Not sure if the website is still up or not.. but I can tell you for sure, without any doubts.. stay away from them.
Anyhow, so now.. I'm at the point where I'm ready to order again, but as I mentioned at the beginning of this thread/post.. I'm kinda lost on where to order from. I'm looking for something between 200mW all the way up to 1watt (1000mW). I've looked around the forums here and I've read that 'lazerer.com'; rafoss and OxLasers.com are all good.
However, I'm still very hesitant on ordering because I don't feel like getting ripped off again. :yabbmad:
So I'm begging you guys, I'm trying to order a laser for my bother in-law for Christmas this year.. but I just don't know where to go. I don't know what company will be able to sell me a good high-powered laser and get it to me without customs intercepting it.. nor do I know which company is reputable enough to where I don't have to worry about anything going wrong at all.. (getting ripped off; order being seized.. etc..) :scowl:
Anyone mind helping me out and suggesting a company that they know for sure is legit and will not rip me off (which would be the 3rd time in a row..)?
Man, I sure would appreciate it.. more than you probably realize.
Thanks in advance to anyone that decides to be helpful.
Happy holidays everyone!
