I'm relatively certain that they x-ray lees than 10% (at random) of the packages, and most of the suspicious ones they keep for a few days and analyze the shipping papers (co$t/declaration/cust0ms forms). Also they have a blacklist and Wick3d lasers is on it as well as Boblasers and other companies that have been around for years.

I have ordered several times from Lazerer.com, but I just wish they would change their mailing label so it didn't blatantly say it. :mad:

Also ordered several from the other 2 reputable China companies and every laser got through. Sometimes it took 3 weeks, but the laser always arrived. :lasergun:

custom and postal worker are just like everyone else, some steal, but imo its more likely to get ripped off by customs that by local postal workers, I have had some one in customs chow down on my Schwedenbomben I ordered from Austria.
Whew! --read this post too fast and almost got the wrong idea...


google..Schwedenbomben - Description: Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats are produced in different variations around the world

I dont doubt that-they sound good. but thats item stolen item that usually vansishes fast...lol

I just dont think US Customs steals and take home items very often-

-job market sucks- hard to get unimployment if fired for cause-- just not worth it but some have stealing in thier hearts and will always steal if they think they may not get caught.
Hard to account for items not in inventory ut they dont think that far ahead.

-& I have no doubt theft like this is real bad in some other countries., & it easier to not get caught.

I've had packages sit in customs for 3 weeks straight that got through fine. In that case the problem wasn't customs but rather that USPS First Class International was the shipping method, and with the cutbacks in USPS it is DAMN SLOW now. Supposedly there is up to an 8 week delay for international usps shipping now.

EDIT: Status updated just within the last few hours. Needless to say, from MA to IA in less then 24 hours. NICE and tomorrow will be here in less then a month. Order was placed on Feb 24th. Now I wonder if the charger and battery will be separate. only got one tracking number so it may all be in one package.
