Yep, after receiving an email from Bernard Catt (EdEx), he's confirmed they
do sell to the public, and they're working on on-line ordering in the near
future (you can order by email). He sent me a catalog & some brochures &
stuff, and going through it, it seems in general they're slightly more
expensive than MooreEd, but some items are significantly cheaper. MooreEd
has no shipping on orders >$500, while EdEx ranges from $10 for orders <$10
to $40 for orders >$600 (plus GST). Although the spares catalog (photocopy
sent with other stuff) says "Free freight for LEGO spare parts orders only".
I recently did a large (>$500) order with MooreEd, and had no problems. They
rang to confirm the order, and let me know they couldn't supply the number
of weight elements[1] I wanted, so they'd be on back-order. The rest was
delivered 3 days later.

[1] Weight elements (9936) are one of the sets EdEx does cheaper 8?(
