Buying a Laser - Too good to be true?

I am looking at China lasers on Aliexpress and the prices seem to be too good.

Example:

A 35in*24in 60w system is $3,517 w/free shipping (to the a sea port) (link)

Same size, even cheaper (link)

And a decent Redsail X700 system 20" x 28" engraving area - $3091 (link)

Are these prices too good to be true?

They seem par considering a 12.5" x 23.5 50w machine can be had for $3350 (after shipping) from a US supplier.

Also, I am looking for any suggestions for US based distributors for systems in the 2k to 4k price range. So far I found hurricanelasers.com, fslaser.com, and mbkpinternational.com.

Price sounds reasonable , a 1200 x 800mm 80w reci tubed machine with spare tubes , moitherboards and all the bits and pieces was around $4400. Shipping clearing delivery will most likely add $1k to the price , don't believe its free. Get a FOb price and organise your own shippers to get it to you.
I ordered my machines from Shenui laser , went to visit their factory and had a very smooth purchase/import and had no issues. I got what I ordered and paid for and more.
2 machines , a 1200mm x 800mm 80w Reci , a 900 x 600 60w and enough spares to build both the machines completely over and shipping to South Africa was round $11000.

Hi Friend,

As Rodney said, 120*80cm reci 80w laser, cost about 4400USD (Included water chiller, air compressor, Exhaust fan), This is the market price.
Find the forwarder yourself will be better, just let he supplier offer FOB price.

Great advice. That's what I am working on now. I am tracking down forwarders.
