How Not to Order an Arctic Laser

Many people have had very unpleasant experiences ordering Arctic lasers because they have been ordering the wrong way.

Read how not to order an Arctic laser and discover how avoid a lot of frustration and anguish. A must read for anyone planning on ordering an Arctic laser.

Step 1 Expectations

One major reason people have trouble ordering the Arctic laser is because they have unrealistic expectations. So the following is a list of expectations not to have

-order to arrive in less than 6 to 8 weeks
-a tracking number for your shipment
-specifications for the free shades
-batteries that don't explode, damage the laser or have other issies
-a laser that can last for more than an hour or so
-fast and effective communications about your order
-more than 800mW of the advertised 1000mW of power
-any response to emails/phone calls/faxes/door knocks regarding problems

To be on the safe side, don't have any expectations!

I know how not to order an Arctic Laser. Step 1: Have a brain.

I believe this is why so many of us just make our own lasers

I'd have to agree with twostoreyhacker. Better to be warned and choose to make the buy anyway than not know only to find out later. Thanx for the info.

This is high satire and I love it.

Thanks for this rundown. I was unaware that Arctic had these issues, so you can be sure that I will order from someone else.

Well you're quite the buzzkill, not cool bro.

Some sort of spam? This really doesn't show how to do anything. We pretty much already know that Chinese products are a gamble, and the odds of getting a good functioning product, in a timely manner, aren't so good. Failure rate might be that these high powered laser diodes generate a lot of heat, and the user's ignore the cautions about how long to leave them on? Might also have something to do with battery failure as well...

It appears to be one big disclaimer telling you not to use the laser because it sucks, its batteries suck, its users suck, its shipping sucks, your expectations suck, and so on.

Well don't shoot the messenger, not cool bro.
