Why? Why do people come to this site?

Today I received a replacement laser from Revoc Technologies/swimminsurfer256.  The first laser that I received from swimminsurfer256 didn’t work correctly and was told it was a “dud” and to send it back.  I sent the laser via the cheapest option that USPS had available online and that costed $5.44 (so $5.44 return shipping on a $12.50 laser)  So I am now $17.94 into a laser.  I received the new laser a week later.  If you view the video you can see the laser in action.  For $17.94 I was expecting a little bit more in terms if power. The seller, Bryson Alef,  was stating “25mW-60mW” output power from the laser is far less than my Radio Shack branded green laser that has a claim output of 5mW.

After watching Kip kays laser lighter video on youtube and seeing him endorse laserdiy.com in his videos I decided to order from laserdiy.com. A complete nightmare. I purchased the “Laser Lighter Kit Ver 1.0″ for $99.99 with free shipping. This kit included everything I needed to get started. The only thing i would need is some bits of wire, and a 23a battery. Sounds simple enough right? Nah it wouldn’t be! I placed the order on the 8/1. After reading LPF forum a little some people said laserdiy.com was unreliable so I send laserdiy a email about my order and it’s tracking number. I let two days past and no reply so I decide to give the phone number on their website a call. “We’re sorry but the number you dialed is disconnected or no longer in service” Cool Stuff! No reply to my emails, disconnected phone. After a little bit more digging i find out that laserdiy.com’s paypal account was suspended. Another awesome thing to find out. So i decide to do a little digging. A 19 year old by the name of William Morse owns the the site. He has a few other sites too including “build-a-blue-laser.com”. So 8/7 comes around and I got an envelope from laser diy. Wow thats a lot sooner than I expected because their site said 1-8 weeks because the site says that they have to acquire all of the parts before they will ship. So they will ship all the items in a single order rather than shipping two items at different times.   I open the package, a bit light I might add. I open the package only to see a brass heatsink. Cool for $99.99 I received a piece of brass. I placed a stop on the payment and sent William an email with regards to the heat sink.

Under no circumstances would I ever do business with laserdiy.com again.

I just got some of the parts back from the water jet shop.
