Depends on what you are buying.  For stock vintage parts I use Wolfsburg West 
or Vintage Parts.  Wolfsburg West has the most complete stock of vintage stuff 
and fed ex which usually takes 3 to 4 days regular ground.  For run of the mill 
mechanical stuff I usually use Black Gold (Jack Wenk) in Arlington.  UPS ground 
from DFW area normally takes no more than 2 days and sometimes 1.  Wolfsburg 
West advertises in Hot VWs as does Black Gold.  If you need the phone # for 
Vintage Parts I can look it up for you.

  I live far enough away from the "local" VW parts place that it a special trip 
that has to be planned because I will end up burning 1-1/2 to 2 hours in the 
process.  Since I do most of my work on the weekends I could place an order on 
Monday and have it here in time for the next weekend.  I used to have an jobber 
account with Rocky Mountain Motorworks and spent quite a bit with them.  
Unfortunately they have gone toes up.  Who do you guys use for good prices and 
reliable service?
