I always buy from a local dealer, same prices if not lower than anywhere online, no shipping charges (which adds up on big parts), 2 day turnaround on virtually anything unless it's backordered. Any dealer can order special parts, they just have to want to.
I'm sure the online shops are easier to use for a newb, but if you have a parts book or know the part number, your local dealer is way easier. I would always send an email with a list of numbers, show up two days later to pick up, and pay. None of this calling back and forth, trying to get the one certain guy who's the specialist, waiting for a confirmation email, and then waiting a week for parts to show up at a higher total price than if you had just picked it up yourself.
