Front or rear?
I got mine from my local motor factors with no probs other than the nut being the wrong one with one of the bearings, I paid about £50 for both front ones. Cant remember what the back ones cost.
The guys ordered in another one with the correct nut and let me keap the first one so its here if you want it for a nominal fee 
However it would mean you would have to get the nylock nut or use thread lock. Personally I would get another nut.

You should be able get two sets of front wheel bearings for under £100
Try E-bay.
The bearings require to be pushed in/out , so it's beyond most home DIY ers, best to get a garage to do it .

 I did them myself but it was not easy even with an extensive tool kit and my own 3.5 tonne press.
When I did them I said never again, I would also advise paying a garage.
