Curry leaves

Do any of the major supermarkets sell curry leaves or would I have to go to Brick Lane, London (I am in London but it's not that close)?

A friend in France can't get them there so I wondered if I could post her some fresh ones or do they go off fast as post takes a week?
Otherwise I suppose the dried ones could be posted, although I suppose they don't taste nearly as good as the fresh? thanks.

    Asda sell fresh ones in veg section and they also do dried ones in Asian spice section. Natco is the brand name.

    They don't always have the fresh ones but when they do its next to the bunches of loose coriander.

    You can get them in ethnic supermarkets, the ones that sell all manner of interesting stuff - round my way (SE London) we have them in most high streets.

    I got dried ones in Holland and Barrett for a fraction of the Tesco price. I usually avoid H&B but they have some good deals now and again.
