Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?

Having a set of tube amps being shipped to me this week. Its a pair of Audio Mirror Reflections monoblocks that use the 6C33C tubes. The amps come with one set of outputs and a pair of spares. I was thinking of ordering a backup set of tubes. After looking at the tube sites, the majority of them are Russian sellers, and that is not going to work due to current events. However, there are sellers from the Ukraine of this tube. Do you think a person can order from them and have a good chance of receiving their package?

Try tubes.rs    He has an eBay store also.   He is in Serbia and has a lot of NOS tubes.   I ordered some 5r4gy and they were real deal mil surplus.

I’d check the customer reviews of the Ukraine supplier and just ask if they can deliver and take them at their word but also ask about their refund policy if items don’t arrive for whatever reason.  If they don’t deliver their reputation and future business will be severely damaged and I doubt they’d want that.  I’ll just say what a great thing it would be to take business from Russian sellers and give the business to Ukraine at this time.

I had my eye on those Audio Mirrors - you beat me to them! Actually, I already own a JAS Bravo 2.3 that uses the 6C33 as an SET and sounds great, although the build quality is less than optimal. Right now it's blowing fuses.   :-(  

This guy advertises on US Audio Mart on a regular basis and ships from New Jersey:

 

Also, Ralph Karsten used to build amps that use the 6C33 so he might have some in stock.
