i flew from america in the UK with a pickset in my luggage and they didnt even open it, since america is the capital of over-paranoid security at customs i would imagine ordering picks from somewhere else for delivery to australia would be ok, theres seems to be plenty of pickers in Aus so i see no reason why you cant get pics into the country.

if it really bothers you, you could make your own picks, theres loads of posts detailing it and a great video.

no problem, check out a thread by zeke79 about his http, it'll give you the address and password for his website so you can look at lots of videos about making picks and see some templates and information on it as well, if making picks is the route you choose that is!

if you decide to buy picks, when you're looking for the cheapest company, dont forget that as a member or this forum, you get 10% discount at its sponsor lockpickshop by entering lp101 as a discount code.

And also don't forget that recent experiences would indicate that if you are ordering pick tools to AU, it is best if you do not order any instructional material at the same time. Order just the picks. If you want an instuctional book or such, make it a seperate order.

I tried using lp101 as a discount code at lockpickshop... and it didn't work. Do you still get a 10% discount?
