Sorry, don't know your area. But, I use Wing Yip in Croydon and I believe they do nationwide mail order. There are other similar places too I think.

Tesco in Dunfermline have an asian section, they're the nearest to you. At the moment we get ours from the Tesco extra in Dundee, quite a comprehensive range too. The only other place I managed to find Asian supermarkets were in Edinburgh.
This is the address of the Dunfermline one:

CALAIS FARM ROAD,
DUNFERMLINE,
FIFE,
KY11 4QX
