good online buying source for pure shea butter?

i've been looking to buy pure shea butter online (to use as is and also to mix into homemade lotion) but i don't know a good reliable retailer. ive never bought or used this product and some guidance/past experiences would be great.

also, i read that shea butter can have a really strong (and apparently unpleasant) smell. is this normal or was that bad product?

thanks in advance

    Shea butter is extracted from shea nuts. Shea nuts are primarily grown in West and Central Africa in the semi-arid Sahel, referred to by traders as the "Shea Belt". Shea Butter like all other natural products has a natural scent. These scents do not stink. The natural scent is usually stronger if the shea butter is fresh. As the Shea Butter gets older, the natural scent diminishes. Shea Butter with no scent is not unrefined shea butter.
