Dont trust megalaseruk everywhere states scammers
I bought my laser 200mW red laser from technologyplanet.co.uk and it arrived within 3 days and it is mint, well worth £59.99 i paid for it really really powerful stuff.
No problems with megalaseruk
Received my 300mW Professional Green Laser today from megalaseruk, no problems at all (although obviously I can't swear for the longevity of the product).
Delivery took 3 working days from ordering. The laser was as powerful as they said (this was always my main concern - I was worried that they were just going to send me a cheap rip-off laser, but mine comfortably bursts balloons (even non-black ones), stings the skin and lights matches...as a 300mW should). The rechargeable battery and charger both work fine too.
The only thing I would recommend, is to do what I did (and to be fair, this should be the case for any large purchase you may make):
I checked my country's laws to make sure that it wasn't illegal to own one of these (therefore you can take them to the small claims court if they don't meet the trade description) - also, because you're ordering online, it is covered under the distance trading rules (in the UK at least) where ANYTHING can be returned within 7 days for ANY fair reason if bought online.
I saved copies of every webpage I went through whilst ordering (so the trade descriptions etc. couldn't be altered later).
When I placed my order and got my email from them the next day saying they were dispatching my order, whilst their system was a little basic, I sent them an email asking them to confirm the power and price of the laser and they did so in writing.
Then, every step of the way, I filmed the transaction: from unpackaging to make sure everything was there, charging the batteries to show I was doing it right, and powering it up for the first time - I filmed every second of it, so I could prove if neccesary that it was faulty from the moment I first received.

This may seem a bit overkill, it probably is, but it gave me the peace of mind I needed.
Thankfully, everything went well and I am happy with my super laser! lol, I can recommend the site.
