I just go to the local shop for Rotosounds now, but all my guitar heroes played Markleys.
Dodgy strings are a pain in the arse, especially if you buy bulk.
I always get my Elixirs when the 3 for 2 deals are on.
Or Amazon, just make sure it's actually from Amazon and not a third part seller.
they're here next day. Free shipping over ££30.
As far as retailers I normally shop around. I use D'addario XL's 10-46 now and buy them in packs of 10, so I will just see who is selling them the cheapest when I'm ready to buy. I've used Bax Shop in the past and Gear4music.
The new Elixir packaging is hard to fake, so most fakes still come in the old packaging. They changed quite a while ago now, so I doubt there's much genuine NOS left. I would assume any packets that look like this are fake:
The envelopes on the fakes are also different. There are a few tells. I found a good guide at the time and used that to support my claim on eBay. I can't find the exact one I used now, but there are quite a few results on Google for fake Elixir strings.
