dhl shipping

[davio2011]

Hello, I ordered this laser: www.rayfoss.com and paid $10 extra for DHL shipping since I am leaving on a trip in a few days and i wanted it to get here before i left. Many people on these forums have said that it is a bad idea to have lasers shipped fast although i can say i had no problems whatsoever with my shipping. The laser was shipped out on Saturday morning (China time) and arrived at my house in Minnesota at 9:28 (central time). Now that's some crazy fast shipping time if you ask me considering Saturday and Sunday aren't "business days". I don't even see where it went through customs although i would assume it did that at Cincinnati. The only thing is that this laser was shipped without the battery so customs couldn't test it or anything. And Faona marked it as a $15 flashlight gift! :shhh: I just wanted to share my experience with DHL to say that if you ship the laser without the battery it should have no problems getting through customs and that the shipping was SUPER FAST!!! Below is the tracking of the shipment details:

I wouldnt trust them with my enemies packages. I have had them lose, break, deliver late and ship to the wrong office at my work. I finally convinced my employer to change shippers... Thank God!
