The best way to buy your bumpkeys is to simply hit up ebay and find a seller who is offering several types for sale. This will save you on shipping. Simply buy the space and depth key set for the locks you are working with. When they arrive take the deepest cut keys from each set which will be your bumpkey to your local hardware store and have 4 or 5 duplicates made. Put the space and depth sets back together with the origninal key and put them up on ebay. You will end up with several bump keys this way and have a minimal investment in them after you resell the space and depth keys. This avoids the problems of bumpkeys being tough to find on the commercial market.
