I recently lost a Dilda from DX in costums. I currently live in Belgium, and after searching for hours, I have not found ANY restrictions to importing lasers of any strength into Belgium. My search only turned up Australia, USA, Holland, UK and a few others with evil anti-laser laws. My package had been opened sliced up by customs and clumsily covered with "Controle" tape. I had a few other things in the order, none of which had been touched but there was quite an obvious space where my red laser should have been (DX like to wrap things up tight and have hardly given my items breathing space out of generosity). I did not recieve any notice from customs that they had taken my Dilda, nor would they have any legal reason to do so. The SKU was ticked off on the back of the package and there was no partial note in my package or my account with DX.
Now, luckily DX has, in my experience, OUTSTANDING customer service and have sent another Dilda which will soon arrive, even though it was not their fault that the laser was missing.
This is the second Dilda I order from DX and the 8th high power laser that has been shipped to me. I have also had knives, lighters and other stuff, which should arouse enough suspicion for me to befucked dealt with by the long dick arm of the law, sent to me with no problems.
One single time before I have heard of a person having an item removed from their order from DX by customs with no phone call or letter to alert him of this. Guess what.. this was ALSO in Belgium. As far as I can see, they are stealing anything interesting they see when they open packages, simply because they know they will never get caught. I find it disgusting that a legal authority is misusing their power in such a way.
I would like to know if anyone has had similar experiences here or in any other country or knows anything about laser restriction laws in Belgium. I would also like to hear any advise on how to avoid this happening in future. My only option so far is to order every item seperately so that they cannot remove anything without it looking very suspicious, but this is not only very expensive for any order where shipping is not free, but also very taxing on the environment with extra flights and packaging, as well as it being a pain to have to cycle for 20 minutes to get my stuff from the post office as I am never home when they deliver.
