I was wondering if anyone on this board can share their experiences with importing a laser from China? I've found a supplier from Alibaba.com and after doing some research I think I'm ready to make the purchase.

What I'm a little stuck on is the actual importing/shipping/customs piece. I know some people here have bought through US distributors, but for those who have ordered directly from China how did you handle this? Did you go through a broker (if so, which one and how much did you pay?) or did you handle the actual clearing of customs yourself.

Any input and experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
