Buying a replacement netbook battery...?

    Can anyone recommend anywhere local (online or bricks and mortar) where I can get a couple of replacement netbook batteries...?
    The netbooks are a Toshiba NB250-107 and a Samsung N145 Plus.

    I've looked on ebay and the choices seem to be a battery from China or Hong Kong which I don't know if I can trust or might incur further customs charges.

    OR

    Batteries from UK sellers who want to charge almost as much again for P+P.

    Is there anywhere local here (Dublin/Ireland) that sells them off the shelf to either pick up or who posts at a reasonable price?

    Or can anyone recommend a supplier in the UK with reasonable shipping rates?

    Thanks

    Thanks for that @worded.

    I've been trying the battery search tool on the website for the last couple of days but it keeps coming back telling me the site is down for maintenance.
    I also tried ringing the number (01 4505277) but it appears to be dead.
    Does anyone know if they have moved or are still in business or any other place I can try?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for all the help guys. I contacted Toshiba direct and they told me that BMS are no longer in business but put me in touch with their new agent MicroPro...

    I was very impressed with the service I got from them, very efficient and polite.
