Shipping picks to Canada from an American supplier ?

[Inetd]

First I would like to say hello to everyone on the board.

I was wondering if anyone in Canada ( Alberta specifically) has had a problem with picks clearing American / Canadian customs ?

Looking forward to you're responses,

Here is a link for you. I used the search function and entered shipping and canada. The link is to the results of that search, all you need to know is in it. search.php?mode=results

Sorry, but just because I'm new to this forum does not mean I'm ignorant.

I had made use of the search feature, yet of the 50 topics on the first page for the query "Canada shipping" only one or two showed any relevance to my question.

Which is why I posted the topic, in hopes I could get other peoples personal experiences with US / Canadian customs.

Short answer: NO.

Nobody has yet complained about US packages to Canada being stopped at the border.

Just so you know .......

The Criminal Code of Canada requires all in Canada to have a pick license issued by the province you live in.

However only a few provinces issue these licenses, Alberta and BC being the two that I know of.

Alberta residents are required by law to have a pick license issued by the province, and then only issued to experianced locksmiths.

Residents of all other provinces have no provincal license they can apply for.

Having said that, many lockpick suppliers in the USA will ship to you with out it.

Many hobby lockpickers in Alberta and BC have had no problem ordering picks and getting them delivered.

Without a license in BC or Alberta, if you are found in possesion of lockpicks you can be criminally charged. So use common sense. Keep your picks at home, picking your own locks
