Living in toronto it,s an easy drive to Buffalo for cheap shipping. There are a number of ups stores which will receive and hold a parcel for maybe $10. I do it from Port Huron Mich all the time.

Other side of the GTA, Buffalo trip < 6 hour round trip, Just my time is worth more to me... let alone the gas, etc.
My crank grinder with will weld and resize the cam ends and I can cut the key.

I just realized I didn't update this thread on how I got around this issue,
First I had the crank grinder outfit I use submersion weld the step in the nose of the cam, the small amount of porosity is no issue. They then ground it back to size. I also had them cut off the adjuster drive and power steering drive. IIRC they only charged me $80 in total. Now great, but I still need a woodruff key slot. I got a cutter from china, but figured that's not going to work as the cam material is hard as hell, dang....what to do? So I experimented with a few dremel grinding stones, found one that would cut the hardened cam material. I then dressed a couple of stones to the size I wanted with a diamond dresser. Then with my good old lathe and slide from a Taig lathe I made a jig to hold my air die grinder. I chucked the cam in the lath and made a simple block to index the cam on the cams corresponding index blocks. Then I painted the cam ends with some Dykem blue, marked the keyway and had at it.      cut off adjuster drive.

Perfect fit, light hammer taps to seat the key just like stock and the sprocket base is a perfect tight slip fit.
No more funky late sprockets with the expensive adjustment tools., back to the early sprockets.
