Default _Sources_ for carnide chain in the US?

I am trying to get some carbide chain from the US. In Oz it costs a
fortune, even taking shipping, conversion and tax into account. for
instance, to buy a couple of TCT chains from the US, and also a couple
of "Carbide impregnated" ones, will cost me $450 delivered, in $Aud.
To buy in Oz would cost Aud$750. If you see my point.

I found one place (Baileys) that deals in Rapco chain. Baileys say
Rapco do not make a chain in carbide to suit my smaller saw (Husky
136, and probably known as Low Profile) but I know it can be had.

Rapco's site (rapcoindustries.com) seems dead.

Tilton Online sell only in the US. They did not get as far as
indicating whether they had suitable chain, but in any case are only
dealers for Rapco.

There was one other mob I emailed. They dealt with rescue chain. And
yet another that cost as much as Oz anyway.

So does anyone know anyone other than Rapco that deals in TCT chain
for wood purposes?

Thanks for any help.
