Are we talking about ic's, leds, resistors... Or all of them?

Well, the best i have seen for smd is http://australia.rs-online.com/web/home.html - FREE SHIPPING!
Smd ic's aren't too hard to solder, if you get some practice you will be fine.
If you can, dig out some boards with smd ics, desolder them then resolder them down and see if you can get a good job.

Yes but for $4 more than futurlec $:-\$
I think they are only useful for smd leds/resistors/caps...
