    They're pretty standard priced everywhere. but if you could give our member Lunchbox some business that would be nice.

    I get mine from here, but I would imagine your country would have an equivalent.

    Sam's Club in NY is no longer carrying them. They were removed from regular retail inventory over the summer. They had great deal on a 10 pack Maxell. Right now it's online only.

    I use globalmediapro. They have free shipping in NZ, and if you buy 50 or more, very good prices.
    You do have to pay via bank transfer or wire, I think- no cheques or credit-cards, and if a transaction goes wrong, they can be surly
    But otherwise very fast and cheap.

    Are you seriously storing your DV tape in the fridge? As far as I know, unlike "analog" (silver halide based) film, there is no chemical process in a DV tape that can be slowed down by keeping it cold. Dry and cool maybe, but cold no...

    Cosco is good, but I usually bought bulk on b and h when I dealt with the headache that tapes are.
