Ok; because i was in the same boat as you il help you out.
As to buying the picks it all depends on wether your going to be a lockie or pick as a hobbie. If your going to be a lockie buy proper picks. Thats not a problem as Lock n' Key sell only to lockies.
If your going to pick as a hobbie your still in luck. I would suggest make your own out of any type of hacksaw blade. Iv used cheapo blades and stanley blades - they both perform the same. Watch Pyro's video it'l help u alot.
If you still want proper picks the only chance youve got is ordering from the net. Iv heard that
www.lockpicks.com can get through our customs as the packages are matked as "tools".
I think our picks are more suited to Euro locks as we have slimmer key holes. Even if u do get the incorrect picks im about 80% shure it wont matter. As i said it depends wether your going to pick as a hobby or not. Hacksaw blades work fine on every type of lock ive ever picked. Plus if you break them its no big deal.
I just learned to live with hacksaw blades. Once you do then you'll learn that they are nearly as good as proper picks. But im considering buying a few things of
