I ordered them from DigiKey (http://www.digikey.com/) online myself.

The Wire Connector Tutorial (http://www.societyofrobots.com/electronics_wire_connector.shtml) links directly to them as well.

Not sure on shipping time (I just ordered my parts yesterday), they do offer expedited service though.  Although they do offer international sales.  This link describes there shipping policy to Africa.  Since Algeria does not have a direct website, you would need to order from the US website.  The big problem though is the cost of international shipping, since 1 pound is $30.00 - $34.00 for shipping.
