i've ordered most of my factory parts from the mainland. sometimes 40% cheaper.
as for aftermarket stuff, you gotta shop around. i also look at the cost of the order. if the savings is $100 on a $1000 part, i might buy it local. if i'm unsure about exactly what i want/need, i'll buy it local. that way if the part is wrong, there is someone to return it too. and if i need to bitch at someone, it's way more effective when i talk to them person-to-person, instead of a cross-country call.

Gotta price compare, everytime, "on line" is not always cheaper. Nothing wrong with used parts too if the price is fair.
