Buying picks in Australia

by **pick69** » 21 Jun 2004 4:55

I'm a french oversea student actualy in australia. I started to pick locks here with industrial staples and hairpins (work quite well as long as you can raque but for the rest

)
I am now looking to buy some tools probably to southord via internet .
Have some of you already ordered picks in australia ? Have you had any problem with customs ?

Thx .

I did a quick search for "australia" and "order" and found the two below sites. I have home made picks so I can not tell you if its true or not but it appears that some people have ordered picks from the net and had them sent to australia.

pick69, he doesnt like south ords even though he seems to have liked them when he started. They have to be better than my home made picks. But of course there are some better picks out there. Beggers can not be chooses in my opinion. And in the links i provided i recall seeing whitehat saying he recieved southord picks successfully.

It is not the tools that make the man.

In short, you can order the picks from overseas. You are of course going to take some gamble with customs and the shop, but you never do anything in life if you can not suvive the loss.

Ok thanks a lot for all your answers ...

By the way Luke what provider/tools do you recommend then ? (apart of course from the homemade tools that I can't make before I go back to France ... )

HPC, Peterson, LAB, Majestic and SouthOrd tools are all available at www.lockpicks.com

While I normally recomend going to www.lockpickshop.com if you want to see a larger selection, check out the first link.

The benefit to lockpicksho is that they are the site sponsor.

Good luck.
