I've dealt with Francesco Sirene, who do mail order from Canada, which
makes for an interesting time sending payment (I found I needed to get
an international money order), but it was worth it. Their prices are
excellent and quality is also excellent. I think I spent $31 US for a
half-kilo of whole long pepper. Their URL is:

A brief blurb from their web page:

Francesco Sirene, Spicer
