My point exactly. I tried to explain that to people in the other thread, but they are too angry to listen to reason. So I just gave up. In my opinion, Lasersman did a great job for me and I would buy from them again.
You may be correct about some of the lasers sold but what about the ones who had problems besides not meeting the expected output. They guarantee the power output to be at least what is advertised AND they claim you will always get more than what you buy, just check their policies statements. So yes, some of us are very angry, not because we thought we would get 700mw for a 500mw laser...it's because we didn't get what was promised and they failed to act reputably and in accordance with their policies.
Why would you want to take the risk when others are being screwed? You could be next...
Why take the risk when you can buy the same power for essentially the same prices from reputable companies?
We are not a bunch of crybabies complaining because out lasers didn't come in over spec, we have legitimate complaints about the products we received and how the company has handled these legitimate complaints.
I believe you are doing a real disservice to the community in your statement, it makes it seem like we are the ones in the wrong when we are not.
When a real disservice has been done by a seller it is our responsibility to warn others about it and band together to let the sellers know we can't be treated like this without some sort of adverse repercussions.
If we let them get away with it then they will continue to screw others...
You may be happy with what you got and I am glad for you but please don't misrepresent what happened in the last group buy, some of us really got the shaft and, it should only take one person getting the shaft from a seller before the rest of us band together and tell them we won't accept that type of service and business practice.
I would take only one legitimate complaint about a company that wasn't handled properly for me to never use that company no matter what type of savings I might think I am getting...at least until that company made the situation right again.
So, when you decide to buy from these people when they have screwed others and refuse to act in accordance with their policies you just add insult to injury to your fellow forum members who got screwed...especially when you can go elsewhere and get a better product for a similar price.
I paid $340 for a "500mw" laser that peaks at 380mw and generally runs at 320mw, it has poor internal wiring and a loose switch that malfunctions, the end cap was cross threaded, and it jumps modes. Those are the facts. To date they have thrown every roadblock known to avoid living up to their responsibility. After a week of continuous emails they still have not provided me with an RMA number for return, they have not agreed to refund my shipping costs if when they receive the laser it is as I claim it is, and they haven't provided a return shipping address.
