Simple enough question lol, I know MessySupplies is pretty dominant on the UK which is convenient for me but I was wondering what retailers you had available over there?
The short answer for most of us is: we don't. We use cake batter, mostly, since the custom-made gunge that you have on your side of the pond is generally not available here.
We live on the East coast of the US. We bite the bullet and pay for the shipping/import taxes to have MessySupplies sent to us. There is nothing (that we have found) that is similar available here in the states.
MessyPup recently came on our radar (thanks to Sploshmuffin) so we have looked into their product as well. However, with shipping, they are a tad more expensive.

What she said. 50lb bags of cake flour are just over $20 and sugar isn't much more. Both make a lot of cake batter and last for a good, long while. I like getting this better anyway since it's heavier, thicker, and more opaque.
https://www.messypup.co.uk/ Wonderful service. You get detailed instructions, there's a link to a video on how to mix the gunge. The shipping to the US is a bit pricey, but it is fast. I also suggest their 'gunge virgin' deal for first timers. As you can see, I had a blast.
I also bought from the Chemistry store for years. I have no idea how they could possibly be out of stock for so long. There are dozens of sellers of both methylcellulose and hydroxyethylcellulose on Amazon, eBay, and baking supply outfits.

We do ship to the usa most weeks. We use ups and is a fast shipping service. Although shipping is expensive its competitive, we try to keep it as low as possible to make it affordable and is based on international orders of 7 bags/ 2kgs
I typically order from messysupplies. I'll sometimes pool orders with other models/producers to save on shipping and if you buy their bulk options, you can really begin to economize. Sometimes I'll get enough gunge for a full year in one order.
