This started out a bit oddly, so I'll give a bit of a back-story:
I got a notice slip to pick up a package yesterday, and when I got to the post office I noticed that said package had been opened by Health canada.
Looking at the customs declaration, it said "laser parts" on the side, value of 10$ and inside the package itself I found the following items:
-Cheap charger
-Ultrafire 18650
-Note from customs
According to the note (I assume the laser) was detained by customs, so I would guess they are really starting to get serious with these.
Now here is the really odd part: I never ordered this package in the first place confused: ), I know that for a fact as I'm only expecting two packages for myself, and niether are even laser related, so the source of the package is a mystery to me. (Came from china though). So my theory on it is that some old site I ordered from ages ago(Dino, DX, or w/e) probably had my address and fucked up an order and sent it to me by accident.
So luckly for me that was no loss, and I really don't care about the fate of the laser in question. (No gain either, as much as I can't complain about free stuff, I hate these xxxFire cells). But I figure to post this as a warning for Canadain members to take extra care when they send thier shit across borders (or make sure that the importer doesn't give any hint of it bieng laser related, for that matter.).
Here is a photo of the notice that was in the package, the blacked out parts are just referance and contact numbers.
Cheers.
