Hey guys it is finally here :beer:

I just finished emailing kevin at LaserBtB also called skylaser. We finished up final agreements on what we both want! If your desired laser is not in this list please pm me maybe i am able to arrange something or add the laser in the GB..

First of shipping: (kevin on mail)

the members can get there LPF names printed*on the label of*lasers,
*
0.5Kg, USD7.85.
1.0Kg, USD13.35.
1.5Kg, USD18.84.
2.0Kg, USD24.34.
2.5Kg, USD29.83.
3.0Kg, USD35.33.
*
1-2 pointers:0.5Kg
1 handheld:1.0Kg
1 portable:1.5Kg

Greetings,

Kevin
*

Then the defective orders or orders with problems: (Kevin on mail)

If someones laser is defective and he can prove that, we will replace that laser for free,no probelm, including postal mail cost and new laser. We can sign the contract.

Customers who buy Portable and handheld laser < 500mW,and laser pen < 5mW
We will write handheld laser with our FDA accession number in the shipping invoice,
we can send handheld laser < 500mW(our IIIb FDA accession number ),
and laser pen < 5mW (our IIIa FDA accession number ),to US markets,no problem,
*
We are responsible for all lasers, occasionally held by US customs,refund or resend.

How awesome service is that! For this replacement you can directly mail kevin at LaserBtB. PM me for his mail adress! Also all customersget batteries and chargers! That was not available with Their fedex option.

Now for the goal! We need to gather around 2000$ for this to work.. I know it is a high but we need to get such an order for these kind of discounts..



Now for the actual lasers in this GB (ex. shipping) (links below) :san:

- HL532-150mW website price $108.33 Offroads GB price $85
- HL532- 300mW website price $188.40 Offroads GB price $145
- PL532- 700mW website price $785.00 Offroads GB price $575
- HL405- 500mW website price $157.00 Offroads GB price $115
- HL808- 1000mW website price $89.49 Offroads GB price $72
- PL650- 1000mW website price $345.40 Offroads GB price $265

On the cheaper lasers the discounts are maybe a bit less then expected. This is because laserBtB has a way lower profit margin on these then high priced lasers.. This is NOT because i want to earn on them ;) The laser all have a discount of 20/30 percent on them :D Including the costs for paypal fee´s and exchange rates. (Chinese Yuan)

This groupbuy will last a few weeks depending on how much interest there is. When we come near our order total i will enter a close date for orders.



Pictures (Weblink)

- HL532-150mW or 300mW

HL 532 (LaserBtB)

HL 405 (LaserBtB)

- HL808- 1000mW

HL 808 (LaserBtB)

I hope this GB becomes a succes and we can all have nice lasers against good prices!

Thanks all! :friend:

Robin

EDIT:

Be quick ordering people closing date set at:

14-09-2012

EDIT:

Hey guys a quick update for new forum members participating in this GB! I have been discussing this topic with other experienced GB hosters.

LaserBtB will get a tracking number for each order, however to protect myself from scammers that are going to claim their money back from me all members up to Rep level 6 will need to send the money as a "gift". This is nothing personal but just to protect myself. All other payments via paypal will be refused. If you really have not received a laser contact me i will take care of the refund.

If however you do not want to send the money as gift and you want to bail out of the GB i respect that

Sorry i should of put this earlier in the thread but i wanted to discuss it with other members!

Re: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! TAKING ORDERS

Once you both get to the $2000 mark, is Kevin shipping the laser seperately to the buyers, or is he shipping them to you and you´re testing them before drop-shipping?

He is directly shipping them to you when i have all the orders i mail him the adresses + order + money. When you receive your laser and there is a technical difficulty you can mail him the evidence and get a free replacement. (ship the faulty one back)

greetings,,

EDIT: This does not really seem to take off.. Are the prices still to high people?

Oh I see, so you´re just helpimg to organize and motivate people :D

Personally I would add reviews and a few pics directly into the OP.

You can also use a few of my Skylasers review if you want.

I'm down for one of the greens... not sure which one yet.

Can you please also ask Kevin, what the weights of the laser are?

Re: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! TAKING ORDERS

Do you know if in the case of US member/customers participating in this GB. whether or not laserbtb will ship additional identical packages/laser shipments in the event that an initial first package/laser shipment is seized by US Customs?
If not can you find out/ask the proposed supplier?
I would like to order an HL 532nm 300mw with IR filter and perhpas a PL 650nm 1000mw but am reluctant to do so unless I know that I will eventually receive the product(s) ordered regardless of how many times an order is lost and needs a replacement order to be shipped due to "detention without physical examination" or seizure by US Customs.

In USA "skylaser/laserbtb" is on the most recent 8/22/2012 FDA Import Alert "Red List"
See Import Alert: Import Alert 95-04
I says among other things:
U.S.FDA
Import Alert # 95-04
Published Date: 08/24/2012
Type: DWPE Import Alert Name:
"Detention Without Physical Examination Of Laser Pointers, Laser Gunsights, Laser Levels, Laser Light Shows, Laser Pointer Key Chains, & Similar Products That Fail To Comply With Applicable Performance Standards And Reporting Requirements."

Updated OP with weight of the lasers. And the FDA problem is solved! (see OP!) kevin also said there going to be removed from the red list and he is working on it. However he guarantees you get a laser ;)

Thanks.

I see the OP quotes from skylaser/laserbtb mention only lasers < 500mw, Class IIIb and Class IIIa.

What about the > 500mw, Class IV situations?

In my case, I am considering a PL650nm 1000mw? Does your contact still guarantee to you that I will receive the ordered product in the event receiving requires replacement shipments however many times?

Did your contact say when skylaser/laserbtb expects to fully comply with USA Laws, Rules and Regualtions and be removed from the "Red List"?
I think is important for shiping to USA customers and to you as you are receiveing the money and are actually the person responsible for any refunds in the event of non-delivery.

Re: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! TAKING ORDERS

Hi,

I guess I will be the first, I will take only one of these since I just bought one a few weeks back and received it last week.

- HL532- 300mW website price $188.40 Offroads GB price $145

Just an FYI, I live in the US and the laser came via FedEx with no customs issues and arrived pretty fast. When, where, and who do we send the money to?

Hi, forum newbie here though not a laser newbie. Please put me down for a HL532-300mW. I'm in the USA so good to see the customs guarantee.

Yep got this mail today! All the lower then 500mW powered laser have new FDA numbers. Will look in more lasers to add now.

People who order 500 mW+ lasers like the PL650-1000mW (class 4) in the USA,
they guaranteed of a laser or refund..

Thanks,
Kevin

And added you to the list ;)

I would like to order an HL-405 (500mw). So total comes to $115 + 13.35 = $128.35 shipped to US (Hawaii). Is that correct? Are you taking PayPal?

Re: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! TAKING ORDERS

Hey Offroadfreak, how are you doing.

I think it's great that people organise these group-buy's :)
So i would like to thank you first for giving members the opportunity to choose and order one or two (or more ^^) of these lasers.

Now,

If it's ok with you, you can put me down for 1× PL650- 1000mW.
I also would like to know if payment can be done with paypal.

Best regards, Sm.
