Quick question guys,

I'm about to order 2 lasers from lazerer - a 532nm 100mw keychain lazer, and a 405nm 500mw. Both with power certificate 2 more safety goggles, and a universal charger. I wont be ordering the batteries or anything, so should i be worried about it getting past customs? I'll be ordering the batteries probably from somewhere else to help it get past.

EDIT:

the only reason I'm asking is because I'm ordering 2 of them....
I know people usually get past with one, just asking because theres 2 though now..

They won't get past customs, because they have the waveLength sticker on the lazer anything >5mW's is considered 'illegal'. So it's better you order it in to two parts from someone on this website.

Batteries is what customs usually seize. I got a 200mW red past US customs WITH batteries, and it was inspected! Also, it is usually marked 'flashlight'

Not true at all. People order from lazerer all the time. Seizures of packages rarely happen if at all. He marks the package as a flashlight.
Batteries is the issue.

Edit: Beat me to it Red ;)

Will do! I also just ordered a 1w from DTR that ill be posting once it comes in!

I was looking for that! Thanks :)

Strange though, total came out to 172.95 (w/o coupon) and then the coupon only took off 3.40.
.05 X 172.95 = 3.40?
I guess they do math differently in china..

Anyways, thanks - still better than nothing. +1 rep :)

I believe that it's 5% off the lasers alone (not the power cetificates, goggles, etc)

:wtf: are two lazerers?

Ok, I'm joking:p and I'm glad you already got the answers you were looking for.

But seriously why not use proper english?

Ask instead "Will two lasers from Lazerer get past customs?"

Might not seem like it, but grammar, and syntax do matter.

Also, I would hold off on ordering until at least until monday. Chinese companies are now on holiday, meaning that your order will not be taken care of until they get back, and go through the backlog of stuff they already have to deal with.

I think why he's saying to wait is sometimes you can be accidentally skipped in backlogs. Believe me, it happens...
