Does anyone know of a friendly store who sells/ sends small quantities of Silver Oxide batteries internationally?

I'm in Korea and they sell cheap Lithium (LR44, etc.) batteries here. Most USA stores won't sell international or are downright rude.

Kanto in Japan where I bought the adapters puts a $37 (gulp!) bank wire transfer fee on all orders.

UPDATE:

C.R.IS. in AZ/ USA rather tersely said they wouldn't bother w/ an order for common stuff I could get locally. Can you believe that answer? That's the second time I've gotten an asinine answer from them. NOW I remember why I bought my adapters from Kanto instead.

I'm beginning to believe some of these stores think I'm an Al Quaeda (SP?) operative and trying to buy batteries for IED's.

I get my silver oxide here, they say they ship international on the site..
They should since most of what the sell comes from china..
The excell 625 in silver is the deal there, great for CL and M-5 as well as a ton of other things that used the mercury 625, only the voltage is different so you gotta do whatever your favorite method is to deal with that, schottky diode, potentiometer adjust etc...

THANKS!! I just emailed them. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
 
What's a fair price in the US? I also had a hard time finding them here in my country, I went over to radioshack's site, but they were going for over $3 each. SR44.com had them cheaper, but I wasn't sure about the site. I did find a local watch shop that has the SR44W here, at about $2 each. But there are auctions over at ebay which might be a good deal.
 
EUREKA!!! http://www.batteryguys.com/ sent me a message and they will sell me what I need. Thanks to all who gave me tips.

Some USA shops said they declined to sell international due to Internet fraud. 'Sounds like BS to me--they just don't want to have to go to P.O. to ship.
