Buying dried shrimp from places that regularly turn over inventory would be a place I would buy from too. They get softer as Wil says when let to stand in water a bit. I too usually soak them first by putting them in ahead of whatever else is for dinner as my water is coming to a boil. I treat the shrimp the same as reconstituting dried ****ake mushroom caps. Dried ****ake mushroom caps can be found for about $1 per package at some Dollar Generals/Dollar stores.
