Illy Decaf

I'm on decaf at the moment for reasons I'll write about some other time, and the only decaf that's bearable is Illy. My coffee machine grinds beans, so I have been trying hard to find a place that sells Illy decaf beans at a reasonable price. Seems I'm the only person in the UK that wants them, however, so all the UK suppliers treat them as a premium item (£7 per tin for something that ought to retail well under £5) and the only place I can buy from at anything like a reasonable price is Germany I won't be using.

The reason? Well, the german supplier took forever to ship and then sent the wrong stuff (I am selling it on eBay because I can't get a returns address) and I don't want to use them again. Anyone know of other sources I could use?

Amazon in the US has them; not sure about currency conversion, so don't know if it's more or less expensive. If it's significantly less expensive, you could have someone in the US ship them to you...

Hi Simon, why not use the official Illy shop? Have a look here: http://www.illyusa.com/AB1666000/showprod.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=7

@Liz, @Claudia: Thanks, but the shipping does indeed push the price up to the same place as the local merchants in the UK are trying to charge. I need to find a reliable supplier in the UK really...
