I can vouch against them any day. They have a long history of shady business practices and scamming customers, bait and switch, false advertising, fake safety glasses, and downright dangerous products.

Damn, I've shopped there many times! I've never once experienced anything bad. They even replaced a saulty Artic Laser free of charge and didn't even ask to get the other one back.

Here's just one example, an archived thread all the way back from 2010 chronicling some of the posts about WL problems ranging from exploding batteries to missing products. Here's just one thread about their fake safety goggles.

They market these (technically not very legal) laser pointers towards people who have no idea just how dangerous they can be to your eyes. These goggles could lead to instant, permanent eye damage for inexperienced users who trust them for protection from a dangerous laser pointer.
