Grow up Niko, you are really showing your age...

Well I don't know if you guys are even interested in the situation at hand at this point what with Nikko's hilarious picture posts and the unexpected "Give-o-fuck-o-meter" from Tech but I thought that I would let you know how the story is progressing.

I have been in communication with the DHL imports lady who has been in communication with the customs agent. She has received information from the customs agent that this package is now set to undergo intense examination and that there is a possibility of intellectual property rights at hand and that customs is deeply concerned. SO....they will be hanging on to the package for another 15-30 days. Yippie!!!
Given this statement there are only 2 things that I can think of that would provoke this.
1. The word laser pointer printed on the box is owned by a company called laser pointer or some shit.
2. The FDA and CE and ROHs and POHS labels printed on the instructions sheet inside the laser are definetly not issued by any of those organizations. Perhaps customs is wondering what the fuck is up with that. I myself was a little curious as to why those labels would be on there.
Lserfaq what up man?

Sorry for jacking your thread like that.


Well, at least you got some "news" about the lasers. Most companies disguise the lasers with alternatives to FDA labels, maybe you just bought the lasers off from a company with not much experience in the field (or at least with new customs regulations).

same goes for buying large quantity of matches.

What do you call a "large quantity"?

 

[Tech_Junkie]

I think they are just making an excuse to hold your package till they can find out exactly what the laws are regarding your situation. In any event it sucks. I do feel for you. Good luck brother.

Thanks for the support Tech. Those pirates are probably just pillaging for fun items. This is the worst shipping experience of my life. For one it is the highest valued package I have ever received (of course this is the first to ever get stopped) and two it has put a complete halt to my ebay sales costing me thousands of dollars in lost sales. In this kind of economy customs should just go take a fucking walk. Let the counterfeit clothes get through, let the bootled dvds in, let the 5mW lasers slip by. Keep the dogs and the x-ray crew their for the important shit and fire all the other little ass monkeys who just sit there collecting whatever free merchandise they want.

Perhaps you should get more data first.

sorry to hear about this yobreasal, i hope you get your lasers eventually

 

[Deleted member 8382]

156 lasers? what type of lasers?

 

[yobresal]

5mW red/violet/green lasers

 

[yobresal]

Man this is such total bullshit. Those ass suckers still have my shit. No word on it. I am wishing very bad things upon them.

 

[KGB_Productions]

I hate to see that you are still dealing with this.. I would be so uber pissed if I was you right now but it seems that there is nothing you can do except wait.....and wait some more...and hopefully you will still get most of the lasers.

Your new avatar rocks!!

A quick question - is this your primary source of income at the moment? Is the lack of stock the reason for the $500 pricetag on your RGV sets?
If the answer to the first question is yes, then I'm feeling even more sorry for you. If the answer to the 2nd one is yes, then You got me a sale on eBay, cos someone messaged me saying like you are cheap. The other guys is charging loads!

 

[yobresal]

LOL, Very funny. I have a 6 figure job at an oil refinery. This was just a side gig. Also the only reason I lifted the price to $500 was so that nobody would buy any because they were held up in customs and I didnt have more than a couple sets left (to cover any possible defective units being returned) I'm am glad that you liked the idea of selling triple sets on ebay. Pretty original of you. I hope it is working out for you as much as it did for me. I made a good profit in the few months that I was doing it. Watch your tail when it comes to customs. As you can see from my situation, it can put a complete stop to everything. I don't wish that upon anyone.
