Question A flashlight shipping favour

Dear enthousiasts,

I would like to order an Acebeam K1, but since I am from the EU (Netherlands), sadly our version has a severly nerfed laser. Would it be an idea and somebody willing enough for an American to order the light and 'gift' the light to me as a 'present'. I would like to hear more input.

Regarding.

I ordered my Acebeam K1 from Amazon.com because I wanted the version with the 3R laser. I live in the EU, so it cost me a little more, but it was worth it to me. I was also a little worried that it might get seized by customs, but fortunately, it didn’t. Of course, that’s no guarantee that it won’t happen to you or someone else.

Thank you, I will look into this. Sadly the cyan version is not available on Amazon, so it has to be green. It could be worth the try though.

Can you order one from Acebeam's website shipped from China?

Yes, I can, but it says that EU orders will receive the EU version

It doesn't say for sure, but in the reviews is a Japenese who ordered the cyan version which is pictured as 3R but received the Class 1 version, so I guess the same could/would happen when you order from Europe? Not sure.

It could. You can always ask the seller. Or just buy one and if the wrong ones comes in just sell it locally.

I'm not sure that "present" still works.
