Hello i decided to join this forum cause it seems very interesting
and full of nice people
I'm from italy and always fascinated by laser, only recently i decided to go more deep.

I bought a >125 mw pointer from nova lasers some day ago, and im waiting for the red 200mw from DX
Im mostly interested in the visual aspect of lasers, but maybe in the future i will find me building some kind of yottawatt CO2 laser... who knows

Prepare yourself cause i will cover you with dozens of questions

Hey!

Welcome to the forum! I am from slovenia se we are in effect neighbors. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your country is very strict when it comes to customs. I remember reading somewhere that importing lasers over 5mw is banned in Italy, but it could be just from China. It was on the EU site, but I can't seem to find, so don't hold my word on it.

I would check it out, just in case!


Thanks

welcome to LPF!

as long as you don't use EMS shipping, customs shouldn't be that big of a problem ( I speak from experience ).

good luck tho

lol just today i received a watch from japan with EMS... 3 weeks

Hey,

Yep, this was cause of your customs :-/ , when I was ordering a bunch of crap from asia, on many sites I saw that they were not even willing to ship to Italy, but those that were willing to send warned of the extra long shipping time (time spent in customs+shipping). For reference, I ordered some RC parts from japan with EMS on monday, it was sent tuesday...I got it delivered on thursday and we are neighboring countries. Hope you get your laser asap though, then you have to post up some beam shots
