Does Anyone Know if Dino Direct is any good?

[screename9520]

aha !!!

Well, my 1000mw blue laser finally came in. I have no way to measure its output, but it burns very nicely, and the build quality is superb. It doesn't rattle and it is sealed with o-rings everywhere possible. I really can't complain for what I paid. ($112.00). So I'd say its worth it if you can deal with crappy customer service and a super long wait. DinoDirect isn't so bad after all guys....

wait until it fails and you try to send it back.
you're one of the lucky.

Then the other i sent a fake video of it not working and got another one free. So they are easy to scam haha. I've never had to send things back

Uh Oh......op:

 

[Coherent Light]

I didn't want to be 1st hehehe. Scamming is WRONG even if Dino is a POS seller.:tsk:

Why this if it was an honest mistake "So they are easy to scam haha"

 

[screename9520]

Uh Oh......op:

Haha let me be more specific. It was working, stopped working cause some trash fell onto the battery contact inside, so I sent a video, but then after I sent the video I looked inside and saw the trash the next day, but they had already sent me a new laser. So my point is that they are pretty reasonable if one of their products do not work shortly after your purchase.

I guess it's my turn to eat crow :yabbmad: :yabbmad:
I ordered a laser from Dino on 11/25. everything has gone to hell since. It supposedly shipped on 12/9 and USPS never received it. I have sent emails, PM's and tonight 45 minutes of useless chat with them. I asked for reshippment a week ago and they thought I had received it......... Go figure. I have only a few days remaining until I start a dispute and they are clueless.
I have ordered from a number of companies located in China and NEVER had problems like this. I've left my phone number over 30 times and no call.
I give DinoDirect(ly) a negative as a supplier. Their web page is a whirlpool of confusion and IF you get a chat, good luck. :eg:

HMike

The chat person says they will reship in a week --- RIGHT................

Update: 1/10/11 --- It shipped in 2 days and I got the tracking number.

Mike,

absolutely horrible how they treat you:undecided:

i just got a Q for you, when they shipped your laser did you recieve a T&T #?
mine got shipped 26-12 but no T&T # yet.

i ordered a few thing in a different order and that package just came in!
some batteries and some "benchmade" and "spyderco" knifes ( fake duh )

now im just waiting on the laser, i know with christmass and so on shipping takes longer and some countries even raised the check-ups @ customs wich would make things slower.
hope this is the case for you and me and we both get our laser eventually.

when i send them a Q i got a decent answer within 3 days, but how they handled your emails is absolutely horrible...certainly not the way how companies should work....

anyway hope thing do work out for you!

 

[anselm]

I bought 3 x 2 starcap lasers from them, 2 of the three packages have already
arrived, waiting for the third one...
In one of the package they sent me two coupon cards that expired before I even ordered.

 

[ped]

they are crap, i have a PayPal case going against them (as 100's of others do, see thier forums) . Dont waste your time.

 

[borgqueenx]

you can rather feed the fish your money, at least they can maybe eat the paper. then you wont waste it like on dinodirect.

@XRick ---
Yes, I got a tracking number but all tracking ends on 12/9. There is no way to communicate with them. I asked over a week ago for reshipment on this lost package and they don't understand a word I say. It's like talking to a moron.
It is good that at least one member got a phone call but they sure won't call me.

After over an hour of fighting with a dino yesterday, Not One call, Not One email, Not One shipping notice today --- NOTHING from Dino. However, IF I ever get that Laser, I will post an honest review. I doubt I will ever see the laser or my $.

The replacement shipped in 2 days. They heard me and pushed it.

Yea i know what you mean with " It's like talking to a moron.":crackup:
I had to do a few phonecalls to china for my work, a 5min talk ended up being a 2hour talk....:undecided:

My laser was ordered 26-11 and said to be shipped 26-12-2010 but still no tracking id.... did ask for it yesterday, hope i get a decent answer atleast...

If i get the laser i will do a review to, honest opinions to ofcourse

Would be really bad publicity for them if they screw up orders like this....

Might i ask what laser you ordered?

Start that dispute and do it now before it is to late....

This company is on my shitlist after their "Christmas 50% off sale" where they jacked up their prices 50-75% before applying the discount. I hope when their advertising contract is up it is not renewed. They make LPF look really bad IMO.
