Well I phoned the HQ of the store that had been demolished. Turns out they've shifted their focus and no longer deal in the items I want. I googled and after perusing several web sites, I eventually found another company. This one is located much closer to me.

A phone call later, I learned that they deal primarily with businesses not the general public. However, they're willing to sell me several cardboard boxes of the items as a minimum order. -- That's an order large enough to last me a couple of years but the items aren't perishable and this is probably the best deal everything considered.

The bad news is that I'll have to clean out my car to bring the boxes home from their warehouse.
