Strip: Northern White Cedar lumber?

I've called every lumber supplier within a reasonable driving distance of me (Wilkes-Barre, PA) and cannot find any Northern White Cedar lumber. I don't want to order strips b/c I'd prefer to mill my own (plus strips are really expensive). I've emailed several online lumberyards and not heard anything back - I assume my 5 boards are not worth the trouble. Has anyone actually ordered a few 12' or 16' boards online? Was it outrageous to ship? Where did you order from?

I found the Western Red I need but this is really holding up my project now.

Thanks,
Darel
