I see them occasionally listed on AliExpress, but not a webstore that I know of personally.

Might take a bit of navigating. Make sure you translate it. Its on the top left, or chrome/your browser might auto translate it.

I think http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/category/cateogry1-name/catId=3982960 (http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/category/cateogry1-name/catId=3982960) does. The side printed versions are out of stock though.

NPKC sells similar caps to what you'd find on a Varmilo keyboard.

I found found a link on ebay that is almost an exact match to the Mint green set. Maybe they'll have the other side printed sets if the mint green is too much for you. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mint-Green-Side-Printed-104-Set-PBT-Keycaps-Keyboard-Cherry-MX-switch-OEM-filco-/281845218205?hash=item419f48bb9d:g:fRkAAOSw14xWNeFv (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mint-Green-Side-Printed-104-Set-PBT-Keycaps-Keyboard-Cherry-MX-switch-OEM-filco-/281845218205?hash=item419f48bb9d:g:fRkAAOSw14xWNeFv)

Ebay in general is a great source for side printed PBT keycaps. Really, Ebay is great for any of the smooth PBT keycap styles that Varmilo offers on their boards.

Has anyone bought anything from TaoBao before? Do you have to pay for customs?

I believe you may have to use a broker if you're in another country, but not entirely sure.  I'm sure someone will have more concrete info.  I've only purchased through AliExpress myself.

With Taobao it all depends on what the seller wants to do. Some ship internationally, some you'll need a proxy service to purchase from them.

Usually pretty cheap. Imso charges $1 for their proxy service. http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=65 (http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=65)

You could download google's translate extension, and translate each page to check all the details if you want to be thorough.
