hello
im intrested in making my own personal laser.
im really scared about customs and losing my money.

if i was to buy a 50mw module online will customs confiscate it?

can anyone help me please?
 





Welcome to the forum, lots of aussies are joining lately

A module wont be confiscated by customs ;)
 
Where do you plan on getting your module from? If you want a cheaper source and/or help you can just ask me :D
 
i just bought a 200mW green laser module from o-like and it arrived today, mind you i have already received a interception /warning from Aust Customs for importing "Whole Portable Lasers" >5mw 4 months ago


:P


As long as its just the module , dont stress, i had a reason to stress, cause i already had a strike against my name, and i wasnt sure, when i was in your shoes :P
 
Hi, Welcome to LPF!

Fortunately you can order just the parts and build one... no one looks at the components. Customs shouldn't be an issue.

Also many companies like o-like will ship to Australia, what they do is mark lasers as $5-$10 flashlights. You can also pay a little extra and have the laser shipped in parts, bypassing potential problems altogether.
 
very good.
ill most probably do that Infinitus Equitas
thank you everyone for your help.
 
btw lazerz
what i was gunna do was gunna get the module from o like
im thinking of just getting a 50mw module to start off with.
 
Jay has some GREAT kits for green builds :drool:

cheers

:beer:
 
Naa, not yet :p I will someday hopefully, for now im too cheap for his beautiful kits although he is a great guy and has an awesome pool :na:

Lol
 
I _have_ heard of modules being confiscated. However, it's much more unlikely than complete pointers. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Welcome to the forums :)
