Where do you guys get your pins?
eBay seems good. Pins and syringes are cheap. But I'm pretty iffy about ordering anything really.
I ordered a knife once and it made it through customs only to be confiscated by the local police. Called me down and questioned me about ordering knives (spring-assisted, perfectly legal in Canada). They asked ridiculous questions like, "Why do you need such a sharp knife?", "What did you need this for?", "Thinking of using it illegally?". Told them I wanted it to add to my collection of knives. They made a huge deal about it and said if I wanted it I'd need a lawyer. What I don't get is why they are screening my mail. The only thing that would be on my police record (if I even have one) would probably be egging when I was 13/14. Since that was around 10 years ago I don't see why that would be the cause.
If ordering a legal knife is such a big deal to the local police, surely if they see I'm getting shipped pins it's going to raise some flags. I also really don't want to walk into a store and buy pins. I find it pretty awkward. Plus, small city, word gets around easily.
