Cheapest way to purchase Tangfastics & ship them to NC, USA?

Where can I buy HARIBO Tangfastics online for the cheapest price, keeping in mind that I need them shipped to North Carolina?
I need to buy a pack or multiple packs of HARIBO Tangfastics candy as a gift. I'm looking to have them sent to Raleigh, North Carolina. My SO discovered them in London and is delighted by them. Where is the most financially friendly place to order them & have them shipped to the US?

Sorry not sure what happened to my link

I work (nowhere near you, unfortunately) in an "Old World Shoppe" that does a lot of importing of foreign chocolate/candy/etc. Perhaps a store like that in your area would have some as well?

Best answer: Here's a 6-pack of the ten pence bags for 14.99, free shipping.

Cost Plus World Market (two stores near you) stocks a lot of Haribo -- I've never seen Tangfastics sold on their own, but they're included with StarMix in the party mix, in those little bags.
(I wouldn't buy that six-pack: each 10p bag weighs 16g when the standard bags are 250g, so you're paying mainly for the plastic.)

No worries, carsonb: inflation has taken a toll on the traditional 10p mix-up.
Tangfastics are about £1 for a 250g bag in the shops, so KateViolet's six-pack works out at about $10 for the sweets, and $22 shipping. As someone who sends and receives sugary stuff across the pond a couple of times a year, that's something you just have to accept: I think the CPWM 250g bags work out at about $3 each, which is only slightly less extortionate.
[A thought: if any UK MeFites are reading this and heading to SXSW this week, bring some over and MeMail soundproof.]

I was going to recommend Southern Season (in Chapel Hill,NC) , too. Call them... they stock a lot of Haribo flavors.

Response by poster: Thanks, all. Went to the local Southern Season and there weren't any Tangfastics. Amazon was the best find, but still expensive. One kind Mefite did message me offering to mail some! I decided to hold off, though. Thanks for all your contributions. I'm highlighting the Amazon answer as the best answer.
