Quickest place to get parts recently?

Has anybody discovered which retailers are getting parts out in a timely manner recently? I'm in Sherman(North of Dallas). Just curious if I'm better off going to my closest dealer or an online source. This post was prompted by me going online to order as air cleaner and getting messages of delayed shipping. I'm hoping someone here has ordered recently and gotten a quick delivery. I ordered some fender bolts online from a dealer in Palestine, TX on 5-23 and they have yet to ship. I know the local dealer may cost more, but if I could get the parts quickly it might be worth a stop in Allen or Dallas on the way to or from work in Mesquite.
Thank You
Bart

I've had good luck with Partzilla.  I've also had good luck getting Cycle Center of Denton to match online pricing.

Re delayed shipping, my recent online purchase of a new front tire from Rocky Mountain ATV MC showed a 14 or 15 day delivery.  I called them and they said it could be here sooner or could take that long.  Really helpful CYA script.  Anyway, I wasn't in a huge hurry and try to give them my business when I can, so I ordered.  The tire got here in 3 days.

Ok cool. That's good info because I'm going to need tires as soon as I get the Interstate running right. Thanks!

I ordered a water pump from Partzilla back on the 1st of May for my 99 Interstate. I got it in three in a half weeks.  :tickedoff: I had the water pump changed out in a few hours. On the other hand, my wife can order stuff all day long and she gets it in a timely manner.  >:(

I dropped Carolyn off to pick up her car in town yesterday. The car place is
across the street from the friendly little Suzuki dealer where I get tires. I
stopped by to see how they were doing, with the lockdown and all... they
say getting parts takes forever (comparatively) now... fortunately they're
slammed with business anyhow, I like to see them doing well...
