WickedLasers...

They really are a failure of a company. I had the misfortune of purchasing from them before looking anywhere else.
Something I usually don't do. But I purchased my first laser from there. An Evo series 35mW.

A big waste of money. I had a laser enthusiast friend measure it for me. He tells me it's performing at 10mW. Woohoo.

I'm currently trying to get my laser replaced with a true 35mw, a refund, or something better.
I really can't stress enough for people to stay away from this company.
I feel extremely cheated with the way they've practically scammed me.

Here's my warranty claim post:

I recently purchased an Evolution 35mW Laser. I've had tests run on my laser, and it performs at 10mW. I'm fairly certain there must have been a mistake in shipping, because this is completely ridiculous, receiving a 10mW laser when I spent $200 to get a 35mW.

An Evo35mW series laser, measured at 10mW. I would prefer it if you supplied me with a laser that actually is what it's rated to be. At the very least, a 35mW laser. I am still covered under my three month warranty, as I purchased it on Friday, February 1st 2008.

Lol, she changed one line. It was probably automated anyway. But meh, I better recieve a refund.

All in all, customer service was better then expected. Slightly surprised there. But we'll see what happens when I should expect to be refunded.

 

[me_too_lazy]

it makes sense that you send the laser back first then they give you the refund
they'll honor the refund, it's just a pain in the ass
should have done your research and avoided the hassle

 

[HazardDrake]

Yeah, you're right. Was my mistake for not thinking stuff through and doing the research. But hey, **** happens. Now it's just a pain, instead of a hassle.

 

[Razako]

Strange. It seems like everyone is either satisfied or greatly disappointed with their wicked lasers.

Kind of like a more expensive DealExtreme.

 

[me_too_lazy]

the only people satisfied with wicked lasers
are those that don't own a laser meter
and are satisfied with any kind of green

hmm doesn't light matches... guess it was too good to be true, but oh well it's a nice green beam and I was just planning to point at stars only anyway.

and that's how WL make their money

 

[Torchwood]

Glad I never brought one from them cheers for the info looks like Dragon or Nova will get my cash.....

 

[clwatkins10]

lol, i bought the same laser and i just sent it back, but yeah, the customer service is very good, and ive heard great things about the core, and my friend bought a 15 mw executive and it was stronger than my 35 mw evo that said max output <60 mw, so idk, im still probably gonna buy a core, kinda sad tho bc the evo looked so awesome, and it seemed pretty powerful, but i was kinda nervous about pay $200 for the laser and not knowing for sure that the output was 35 mw, but the customer service was great and the problem was solved

 

[clwatkins10]

oh and tennessee rocks.... lol

 

[Morepower]

Dude are you kidding ??  $200 for a 35mW laser !!   Man I thought Ned Kelly was dead !!!  Obviously not :-/ :-/

EDIT: If Wicked was to have a catch cry it should be "Stand and Deliver"

 

[timelord]

What are they like

 

[timelord]

;D ;D ;D

 

[MarioMaster]

if you're looking for a laser in the 30mw range, the true30mw model from DealExtreme is a great choice, friends and even a teacher of mine have bought them, i've tested 5 of them, only one not meeting the 30mw mark (was only below by 1mW) so I recommend them highly. Even my art teacher's 5mW is doing at least 15mW, it's much brighter than my core which sits just below 5mW.

I couldn't agree more . I had a bad experience with this same company . First thing people should realize is that they are based in Shanghai China and if you do business with them you will get shanghaied like I did . I bought a 20mW green laser from them for over $150 plus $20 shipping . I get my laser about 4 days later open it up put in 2 triple a batteries press the button and nothing . I immediately call their customer service and get a guy in California that tells me their company is based in China if I had known this I would never have bought the laser from them to start with . Anyway they wanted me to pay return shipping and to China for their defective laser I ended up having to put aluminum foil in the end cap and finally got it to work . My advice avoid this company at all costs .
