Default Need Advice on Mix for Repotting

My local stores have discontinued carrying any bark mixes good for orchids. Has anyone bought any good mixes online? If so can you provide the links. I'm also looking for links for fertilizer for orchids as well. At one time, I used the MSU that I attained online, but I can't remember where I bought it. If anyone has any other recommendations for fertilizers, I'm open to options.

I don't live in the USA so can't really recomend anything. However I know others on Orchid Board were giving good feedback about this site for medium.

rePotme Orchid Supplies - Orchid Mix - Orchid Pots - Orchid Care - Orchid Fertilizer

MSU fertilizer is sold by First Ray's, a frequent contributor on these forums.
I have been buying my potting mix from a local grower. I may have to pay sales tax but that way, no shipping costs.

I get my orchid bark and mix from Tindara Orchids and rePotme. rePotme even has a thing where you can create your own mix and then they prepare it and ship it too you. It's pretty neat and not expensive.

I'd recommend First Ray's, Ray carries very high-quality potting media and supplies at low prices with cheap shipping. He also has a great selection of fertilizers and is one of the few (only?) vendors I've ever known who works with both growers and manufacturers to improve fertilizer formulas for orchid use. It's nice to have a supplies vendor who is also an experienced orchid grower...
