I need to find a local (San Francisco Bay Area) source of Tim Tams. A friend brought me a suitcase full of them, and I got addicted, or close to it.
I don't know a local vendor, but I can at least get you within the same state: check here. (I recommend the dark ones.)
billytea, you thoroughly rock. Bookmarked for miles.
The friend brought me all of those except the double-coat.
Must. Try. Immediately.
Actually, I can give you an alternative too. This site looks to be a little cheaper, and has a wider range (including the multipack). However, it'd be coming from Arkansas, and they may charge extra for shipping chocolate. (OTOH, they do take steps to see it arrives in proper condition.)

Hee. You're welcome. And I've just remembered that I have a packet of Wagon Wheels in the kitchen...
The grocery store not two minute's walk from my house has an entire section of UK imports: McVit's chocoalte digestives, steam puddings, weetabix, smarties, and every flavour of Cadbury's choc known to the First World.
But no tim tams.

That's really quite impressive. I'm in a desert as far as such matters are concerned. (Though BBC America has just recently started selling British goods through their website. I still have stuff left over from my last birthday, including the aforementioned Wagon Wheels, so there's no rush.)
Well, I can send you a care package from SF, if you'd like.
You know what I miss? Jaffa Cakes. And Lion Bars and Time Outs.
I never really got into the Jaffa Cakes gestalt, because of the texture of the cookies as they hit that orange filling. But McVits choc digestives?
Squeeeeeee-yum.
Oh, and those little salt and vinegar bags of crisps.

Mmmm. Best crisps ever. Must go shopping at the Brit store in Santa Monica this weekend.
