I have ended having to go down route of soft sleeves to help protect the cards. The ultra pros have been virtually impossible to come by on Amazon in UK. Or if on eBay with huge shipping costs. Frustrating. Not sure why they are so hard to come by when other sizes are plentiful. I actually just checked Amazon to see if there are any listed and for once there is but at £30 for 25 that’s a ripoff. Considering I have hundreds of cards there’s no way can accept such costs.

Hi Wayne where about in UK are you (City)? I recommend calling all card hobby & card stores locally first. Nothing like driving over and picking them up same day if they have stock. I should start doing that. The best I managed in past was a quick scoot round WH Smith or Staples but never seen anything remotely useful for card storage/protection. I live near Romford (in Essex) if you know it.

There are two baseball card stores in Burbank and they do carry plastic sleeves so yeah, definitely check those. Just bring a card along with you to test them out so you're sure they fit.
It's really weird that Ultra-Pro seems to have such a hard time keeping this size in stock. They don't seem to have that issue with others. It's either their most popular size and they just can't make enough or their least popular size and they only make small batches that sell out instantly. Which, in my mind would make them popular.

I only order 5, but several other people have ordered from the Discord. Maybe they have more, finally.

Aaaaand it’s gone
May have picked up the last one in stock unless they’re trying to limit bulk buying and marking up on secondary sites

Just another reason I'm glad I've gone almost totally virtual at this point.
