If you need it urgently, you may try other dealers like lexus, merc benz etc for their touch up paint in white. Otherwise, just back-order them from the dealer.. it takes only a couple of days.

it's not really urgent, but all the dealers say that they don't even know when they'll be getting them.

How can i find out the color code for alpine white btw?

Let me throw out an alternative that I used.
It is a product made by dr. colorchip. You can get the website from google.
I have a monaco blue finish. They custom make the paint and it works very well.
I get very enthusiastic when anyone asks about touch up paint because this stuff works better. You rub the paint on and then rub the excess off. You get a perfect finish.
When I used touch up paint on my old Mercedes, I remember I had a blob that stayed for the life of the car.
I would try this stuff. Plus, you don't have to wait for it. It is unfortunately more expensive, but it is well worth it for a $50,000+ (US) car.

Has anyone else here tried it?

No, but I've heard good things about Dr. Colorchip from people who have used it. My cousin used it on his S55 AMG, which he was very hesitant about. The application was so easy and smooth, he's recommended it all his buddies for their nice cars. I give it a thumbs up.
