Have seen things sent to Australia that sat in customs for a week, even beyond getting it to the country. I normally expect it to take 2-3 weeks, but not normally worried until after a month.

There should be no problems at all with customs in Australia. I regularly import decent quantities of lockpicks, these will occasionally get opened by customs but are always released with the nice little "we were here" slip.

If you dig out the customs documents, lockpicks are not just permitted, but they're also subject to a tariff concession.

They are listed under tools, locksmiths under this concession document: http://www.customs.gov.au/webdata/resou ... TCO_82.pdf
