Buying sets online - shipping to new york state

[spartan11]

Is it legal to buy lock picks in NYS?

I live in a small town, so buying online is ideal, but I am worried about the legality of this. Thanks.

I doubt it'll be a problem. My first pick set was from a spy store in NY. Check the General Info forum and look for the Law thread. It'll list every states laws about pick tools.

Unless I have intent to use it, I should be fine.

BUT, will I still be ok getting it through the mail?

Your best bet is usually going through somebody who ships UPS. From what I have been told there are issues with USPS sometimes. I have always used UPS and never had any problems, and it is generally quicker anyway.

I guess we'll find out what happens, I just ordered it.

Generally neither UPS or USPS rarely ever screens the mail content. LockPicks.com almost always uses USPS and I have never had any problems with them in the past 5 years I've been shopping with them.
