Anyone ever order an EBay 1W Laser Pointer to Canada?

I just recently ordered a $80 1W 450nm Laser kit with glasses and batteries included from a good rated seller on eBay. My only worry is that I am in Canada and I don’t want it to get stopped at customs. I messaged the seller and he claims he has successfully shipped laser pointers to Canada before but I’m still not sure. Just wanting to see if anyone has ordered something similar to this on EBay to Canada. Thanks in advance :)

Yeah the tracking now says “Completion of customs processing” so my hopes are good. I’m not sure if it’s the China customs or the Canada customs though.

I ship to Canada and almost everywhere worldwide quite often and rarely encounter issues. I sell mine as "kits" and they come partially disassembled so it doesn't appear to be a laser pointer when x-ray'd or even opened by a customs agent. I'm not sure how others do it but I put a lot of thought into my packaging and shipping.
