Anyone know what's up with Tinker Lasers?

[Shmackitup]

Hello, I haven't really posted on LPF but thought I'd chime in here. I've been content with my old WL 15mW laser for about 15? years now but since yellow/orange lasers are now much more common and affordable I decided to order a 593nm Valkyrie from Tinker.

Order was placed on Nov 1. A tracking number was generated on Nov 12 but USPS has not received the package yet. I sent an email on Nov 20 asking for an estimated ship date but have not received a response yet. I'm still holding out for an update but chargeback is an option if necessary. I'm looking forward to an amber laser so hopefully I can hear back soon.

Get your money back. I still have some 593nm modules in stock and can build you a custom pointer if you'd like. I build and ship most laser pointers within 1 business day.

Please get your money back and purchase lasers from other sellers.

Barnett seems to build really good and fancy lasers!

Such a shame about Tinker, but can't have members buying from him and not receiving goods.

Hi!
You should see a tracking update today. Sorry for the delay!

I see Tinker has already posted an update but I also wanted to confirm that he has provided me with a tracking number. I can update once I receive the package as well.

Edit: I meant to say that Tinker has provided me with confirmation that my package was dropped off since the tracking number had been previously generated. Thanks again Tinker.

Thanks Shmackitup. Now that I have confirmation that my package is on the way I will stick with the Valkyrie 593nm but I've been checking out a few different sellers, including you, and I may be looking for one or two more lasers (probably 488nm or 660nm) at some point.

From now on @tinkertavernco , make sure that you make anyone satisfied and happy about laser purchases or whenever customers purchase things from you.

When you couldn't fulfill orders during a short period, you should have made announcements on your website, ebay etc. about something like "currently unavailable right now to ship/receive orders", right?
Or maybe refunded the payments anyone paid when you didn't fulfill and ship the orders.
This honesty would have helped you to prevent causing problems among your customers!
You have caused so many issues and shown bad reputation about yourself, which is something not great and should have avoided.
Hopefully that reputation can change and improve since you for instance have updated an order and also shipped it, maybe others will feel like you are more reliable than ever over time and stop taking you for granted.

I had once a product of my cart on Ebay from Barnett Unlimited. It said on Ebay that Barnett was on holiday and would ship later.
This kind of information is essential for customers whenever a seller can't for instance process and/or ship an order, so the customers can know and be aware of important information.

There is now a big chance you won't get banned on LPF, don't forget that there was once a poll about banning you

Do better from now on and good luck with your future sales!
I hope you completely agree with me!
Make your customers satisfied and happy
