Apparently there's a Calumet somewhere, but I didn't find it when I was there a few weeks ago.
In Glasgow I've been to Merchant City and found them very helpful and prices for some things are good. I no longer use Ffordes since they conned me out of multiple expensive return shipping costs after selling me gear that was in far, far worse condition than their website stated.
In Madrid there are a couple of shops but gear here is horrendously expensive, especially used (€200 for a K1000 & M 50mm f/2, for example). Film is, if anything, cheaper than in the UK though.

I don't think they're manufactured any more but there are a lot on ebay, though all or almost all are expired. Amazon US has quite a lot, though whether they're expired or not I can't say. Expired films will be useable but would probably have to be exposed at something less than their nominal speed in order to get good results. As such, I would check if your friend's camera can over-ride the ISO or provide exposure compensation. I'm not familiar with APS film but as it's the newest format I imagine it has something like the DX coding for 35mm film.

I don't see anything there about a price though.

Processing the film at ISO 800 or 1600 will leave you ISO 400 shots over-exposed, but as John says, this isn't likely to be a huge problem because the film has some leeway for over-exposure, much more so than digital photos.
