Don't know if this stretches your criteria too much (stateside, for example), but why not try the foreign arms of Amazon, for example, amazon.de or amazon.fr, rather than the central amazon.com. We've found things that way that weren't available at amazon.com, and I think they handle university payment forms ok.
