I live near Wilmington NC so the plan is to pick it up at the port.
The pre-sales support has been fantastic. No high pressure sales. No question too big or too small.
Shipping/Customs is the only thing about the process that has made me nervous...and not on Thunder Laser's end. They really know what they are doing.
I contacted a few Customs Brokers, there prices varied greatly. I narrowed it down to two, but end the end decided to go with a company that's offices are only a mile away from the port. They travel there many times a day working with customs and other shipping tasks. The now the warehouse staff etc. The runner up was super helpful but worked out of Chicago I believe.
So if my funds got wired appropriately by my small hometown bank...then we are in business. I will certainly update this thread as the process unfolds.
I know I will have a pretty good wait, so I am going to be building a room in my workshop to house the laser in a cleaner environment.
I will be running a few new electrical circuits. I am getting the 80watt laser.. any suggestions for it's circuit? 15 Apps OK?
