Alright, alright, I see I've exhausted this question. Thanks for all of the help as I've continued to ***** and moan. :) Here's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna just receive them. I think you're right, there is no reason for law enforcement to give a , I am a completely clean-record, 18 year old citizen, and I'm just being paranoid (due to my lack of illegal background, lol).

If shit happens, for god's sake I'll hire a lawyer. I just don't think it will, you're all being sensible and I'm being improbable.

BTW: Yes they do label their packages like I said:
---"Q: Will "lockpickshop.com" be on the return address label?
---A: NO. Our return labels will say "Locksmith Parts & Supplies" Customs descriptions will say "tool kit"."

And given that the label says Locksmith Parts and Supplies and none of us have been subpoenaed, I'd say you're good to go. Enjoy the tools!

I'd just like to inform everyone--my picks came today, no signature required, and I was not arrested.

WOOHOOO TIME TO PICK! I gotta say, I NEVER could have made picks even close to as nice as these...! I'm excited!

i probably should order a set eventually. i've only made my own which i've become pretty good at. i would like to compare mine to some "standard" or "normal" picks though.

I'm sure these are not hard to replicate, as they do feel nice and cheap (inexpensive cheap). Sorta flimsy.

I just said, there's no way I, being the grand suck master of craftsmanship, make anything close to them.

So how did you explain the picks when the cops came? I told them mine were medical devices since my fingers are to fat to pick my nose.

Jeez, don't worry, carry some master locks around with you when you have the picks, you got caught, tell them you pick locks for a hobby, don't be rude about it, and offer to show them. Your a student, your learning a trade. Your not going to get a felony charge if your not doing anything wrong. You get caught shoplifting at some store and get arrested with the tools, then your in trouble. I carry tools with me everywhere I go, I never worry. Register a business name with your state, such and such lockouts blah blah blah, then your in the business and need the tools!
