I do get some canned Hatch green chiles, which we all know are nothing like the real thing, but they are my substitiute until I can get there.
Towanda, a friend introduced me to Pedroe's corn chips from Plains Ks, and I get them when I go through.. He grows the corn and then makes the chips. I like to support the local farmers.

Why-oh-why do the canned chiles come only in [Mild] and canned jalapenos only come in [Medium] heat?

As I've posted before (but can't say it enough), HEB Stores throughout Texas sell the frozen Bueno red and green chile. That's as good as it gets in Houston. With those two ingredients the sky is the limit.

That *has* climbed a bit. It used to cost about $50 total to have the six tubs shipped - including the price of the chile.
The cost of shipping is for one order. I would assume that you can get three orders shipped for the same price - or close to it.
You might also work a deal with a local specialty grocer to try out this product if they will share the cost of the shipping.
$77.99 works out to $13 per 13-oz container. That's steep, but I'd pay it if I was 'out there' in your world. I wouldn't use it as liberally as I do here, but I'd always have some around. I'd pack lunches and eat in as much as it took to afford that.
If you can get three orders shipped for $50, 18 containers would work out to $7.11 per container.
*ALSO* it is winter time, so you might arrange a second-day shipment. They come in a nice polystyrene box that is a high quality container. If they packed them in tight, there is no way they would melt sitting around at ambient temperatures. Even at room temperature, the chile would last quite a while in those sealed tubs.
Call them up and axe them. See what they say.
