You can find him on aliexpress.com but I'm not sure how to get to his store on there.  I followed a link to some lights my first time and then I saved him as a favorite store.   A lot of folks email him directly for quotes at ray@rita-light.com.

I usually find him just by Googling Ray Wu. He comes up at the top of the page most of the time.

If you're into lights like most of us going to his store can be a dangerous thing. I usually walk away spending twice as much as I intended. On the bright side it would probably be worse if he organized his store.

The one thing confusing about Ray's store is it seems like you can find the same item listed 10 different ways.

I just got my quote back with a one week to ship time.  Then have to wait a couple of days for shipping, but I don't think that is too long.  Custom items take awhile and ordering right before Chinese holidays will also result in a longer delivery.  I've been ordering from Ray for 4 years and never had really long time and have had a couple that were really short.  YMMV

Another vendor is Roger auchebon, pixelsequencing.com. He gets most of his stuff from Ray. I had my presale stuff in a week. I've had good success from holidaycoro as well, but I'm not a fan of his business style so I haven't ordered from him in a year or so.

The more you buy the better the shipping price gets. Remember it's coming from China and I don't think the shipping price is too bad taking everything into consideration.  And if you email him he will quote you a better price on shipping.  Watch out using a credit card on the Allied Express website a lot of Banks will automatically flag it as fraud and shut your card down.

This year I ordered my lights from Roger auchebon, pixelsequencing.com.  I had credit card issues with Allie. It was not even on my end as I went to My CC before I ordered.  Now if you wait for his summer sale his prices are good. In his winter sale this year I got 16 P-10 panels and just over 10,000 bullets (LEDs) and out of all of those I had 1bad LED.  Yes it is hard waiting. Great Guy to work with. Ill pay a little more if needed to get the service.

Roger is a good friend of mine and I have done some work for him on some commercial installs the last two years.  A couple of updates for the record, it is Roger Aubuchon and he buys from Paul Zang.  I mention that so that someone will not think that his pigtails are compatible with Rays.

Thanks for correcting me on his name. However, he told me he gets the majority of his stuff from Ray. Not that it really matters in my book.

First it does not matter it its 2 lights or 20,000 we are all here to help each other. This year I went big as I'm changing over all my lights from strips to bullets. The weather here in Rochester takes it toll. If you have a different Issue you would like to address its best to start another topic with the proper title. That will help you get the right people to help you.

Well thank you for that.  That's good to know.  All this has just  been  a learning as I go thing.  All started out with my son wanting lights because our neighbor always goes big with his lights and my son (7yrs old) asked if I could put up more lights cause all I did was one stran of white lights on the roof line.  So i said OK and I googled "bad ass xmas lights" and a guy who was using LOR popped up.   I did a little research and i did LOR with LED lights.  Bought all that i needed..jumped all in  and did my show.  I didn't even know our neighborhood had a light contest much less that my neighbor had won it for the past 3yrs. Needless to say I won last year so now im  looking into better stuff I stumbled onto all this.  Even thou i got a perfectly good LOR system in the attic  im doing this now.   Lol.
Guess if all else fails i can do LOR still.  Ha Ha...
Anyways that's my story so just thought id share.   Sorry i rambled on.
