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?

Thanks for all the responses fellows I will look into options for ordering. 

 

As far as the tubes I will have on hand I will have one set of used outputs and two spares. Not 2 sets of full tubes. Seems prudent to have another quad on hand.

What’s the "world corruption list?" Is that in World Corruption Magazine? In there a Miss World Corruption contest? I need to know...

I was skeptical too. So i did some research: confirmed.

Link to wikipedia

But dont get too confident. The USA is #27. Maybe think about ordering from Denmark (#1).

But given the fact that Ukraine has been a pawn and playground for Russia since Peter the Great and before, this is not a big surprise, not should it be placed on the current admin's shoulders.

Frankly, if we can support the remaining industry in Ukraine, I'd be all in.

I also agree we need to re-shore much manufacturing and process technology.

Just sayin''''

I have ordered about $500 in tubes from Ukraine since the war started. I was not expecting to get all the tubes, and figured it would take a while to make it out of the country, if at all.

To my surprise, I have received all the tubes, to date (they shipped through Kiev, which might explain why they made it...).

I was surprised some of those amazing 6N5P's actually got here faster than some 7027a tubes I ordered from a big retailer in Germany.

You take your chances, but I would order from Ukraine again in a heartbeat.
