VIC Is it safe to order this item from ebay?

[FrankDoop]

Hello, I've been wondering if a Bokken (Wodden katana) that I plan for cosplaying would not be confiscated by the police during transit if ordered through Ebay. The seller is based in NSW, will it be safe to order it because i am unsure of the VIC laws.

You should be fine with getting that posted. A bokken is clearly a practice weapon (as opposed to a real one) and no more dangerous than a lump of hardwood.

I agree with @Rob Legat - SBPL.
Near as I can figure, it's not a prohibited article,
and is inherently and clearly a sporting device.
In which case, I'm inclined to the view that it is comparable to, say,
a cricket bat.
