What is the success rate of Rayfoss lasers getting through US customs?

I want to get a 50-100 mW laser

I live in South Africa, but just want to mention something. I have received about 50-60 parcels from the East, and the only one that ever went missing was the one from Rayfoss (Qualifound). They shipped me another laser with DHL. I had to cover the $30 dollars extra, but after 1.5 months of waiting for the first parcel I was willing to pay for DHL. Took only three days to get here.

Faona at Rayfoss is very helpful if you want to ask her any questions.

I have ordered from them without fail. It really doesn't have anything to do with the supplier (unless they are a retard and put "high powered laser" in the customs declaration form) It mostly has to do with the size of the package and blind luck. Larger shippments are more likely to have eyes on the inside of them.

Thats all I need to hear. I,'ll probably opt for one of Rayfoss "pen" lasers to be on the safe side.

Rayfoss

Each of my purchases have arrived from Rayfoss without problem. Faona provide exemplary customer service. Their main host is very sexy. It looks great in chrome style finish; but is also cool in black or gray. Their red laser (660nm) which was sold to me as <200mW tests (and stays steady) at 244mW, a ray of light in a market where underspec lasers are the norm. That host is also waterproof, although I doubt that I'll ever use a laser underwater.
