For online ordering, It's a toss-up between Lee Valley and Highland Woodworking. Both are great to deal with, and both have tremendous variety in their inventory, I hardly ever experience a "backorder" at either place.
I also use Amazon, and have had nothing but good service from them.
YMMV...
We have a Woodcraft in Knoxville that's pretty nice, clean store, relatively friendly and knowledgeable staff, but I liked the previous owners better... the store hosts our local wood turning club but the club meets at night and it's a 50 mile drive for me, so rarely go to the meetings anymore... I think prices are high and usually can do better shopping on line, even with the shipping costs, I can get pretty much better prices online.... if I'm in town for something else, I'll stop in and do a hands on look-see at whatever I'm needing, then come home and order it.
I haven't shopped the Highland's site before... first I remember hearing about them, but will definitely give them a look.
