Full 1 Watt Blue Laser Pointers Down to $200

cut plastics, they work good for that. and old plotter and a laser rigged up from dvd burner laser diode, c++ and your in business
 
Interesting development


I have spoken with a guy who bought one of these same LP's. He loves his unit and didn't mention any problem with getting it.

I wanted one so I ordered one about a week ago. Ordered online - saw that they took paypal. I had the that much cash in my PP account so went ahead and used that form of payment.

So 5 days go by and I get an odd sounding email from them stating that they're having some sort of problem with their PP account. They're asking if they can refund me the money, through PP of course, and then contact them back and re-purchase a different way, like via a credit card. If I will do this, they will take 15% off the price.

So immediately I yes that is fine because I want to see this issue resolved as soon as possible. My money is being tied up with this delay. The email was sent to me and replied to Saturday evening.

Hopefully the refund will be executed today (Monday). I will probably take them up on the offer of the repurchase + discount.....but I am going to make them tell me what their problem is with PP, why they cannot get it fixed and why they haven't taken down PP acceptance from their website.

I'll keep you guys posted with what happens.

I think we would all hate to come on here and recommend a product or company to the group and then some problem or another turns up. Epic embarrassment.

SO FOR NOW, if you were thinking about making a laser buy from this company.....hold off until I get back with the rest of the story.
 
You think it may be something to do with the wattage? Paypal=eBay, maybe same "rules"????

Hi HH, nah...nothing to do with ebay. The only problem with obtaining high powered lasers is getting certain direct shipments from Asia....sometimes....but you will generally see shipping restrictions on their websites.

I've just heard back from the company this morning - they answered a question I had. They repeated their refund and discount offer. I replied with the OKAY again and asked them to send through the refund a.s.a.p. Hopefully they will do so today.

As long as I get my cash back then there shouldn't be any problem. It's just the whole thing sounds a little off and they should remove the PP acceptance from their payment choices if they are having a problem with PP transactions.

Well okay, full cash refund just received this morning at paypal.

Everything is probably okay with these people....this is just a semi-odd situation that I've never run across before.

Still want the laser and now it looks like I will get it even cheaper. Will conduct the transaction over the phone and still going to ask them some questions.

More to follow
