I have been wrestling with whether to post this info or not. I've been following these threads about Sci-Fi's deliveries for a while now. I decided it's best to share my experience even if that means if I have a problem with my newly purchased Arcane 2.0 in the future, I may not get any help from Sci-Fi.
I had the same experience as this OP. Got multiple tracking numbers that ended up being for someone else in a different state. Even got Eitan to promise to refund after a specified date whether I eventually got the laser or not at a later date (I asked what does "guaranteed delivery" actually mean). Only got more tracking numbers and promises. Date came and went. No refund. Perhaps I would have gotten a refund had I insisted but I didn't like having to be so persistent with my inquiries.
I eventually did get the laser from Sci-Fi and it is a very nice laser but the amount of energy required on my part to continually pester Eitan is not worth it to me to buy another. It is a shame. It is a very nice product. And I would have likely bought at least a couple more to get Red, Blue, and Green in the Arcane 2.0 host. It's a very nice host, solidly built and an attractive design.
I eventually commissioned Eghemus to build me a host that kind of looked like Sci-Fi's with similar components as the Arcane 2.0 635nm as I wasn't sure I was ever going to get the Arcane. I also approached other sellers here on LPF for other colors/styles/powers/etc and so far have not had any bad experiences.
I have bought from sellers in Israel before on eBay and never had the problems I've had here with the bad tracking numbers so I'm really not sure what is really going on. I only hear that it's going to get better but no explanation so I can't make my own evaluation so at this point I'm not going to risk it again. Sorry Eitan. You've been very nice, professional, and respectful with your replies but the intended and expected outcomes just aren't happening from my experiences and what I see posted here. I am willing to change my mind but not with just more promises. It will take something 'more' and unfortunately I'm not sure what 'more' is right now. You have a very good product at a competitive price. To me that's the very definition of 'value' but rolling the dice on when it arrives is too much for me.
Good luck and I really do hope the problems are identified and fixed.
