Hi, all! I'm new here and just starting to get into lasers. I've really enjoyed reading the posts on this site and learning what I can about lasers, the different types, sellers, etc.
I'm thinking of buying the O-Like New Style red laser 200mW /adjustable (unless someone can think of a better one around the same price...thought about the Rayfoss RF660-200mw-FWT) and I'm concerned about US Customs. I know it isn't a lot of money for a laser compared to many of them available but it's enough for me right now for a first major laser purchase and I don't want to be out almost $80 (I'm getting the protective glasses also).
Does anyone have any tips for a first time buyer? I've read a bunch on here about separating out into two separate shipments, battery and laser, and that sometimes the companies put a >5mW sticker on bigger lasers. I know that O-Like and Rayfoss aren't as obvious as Wicked Lasers, etc., on labels. Any other tips, concerns, reassurances?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
