My nearest hobby shop is over two hours away, so I buy most of my stuff online. I have been using the following online shops regularly for the past several years.

Model Round up, mostly cars and trucks, also some aftermarket stuff.

Tower Hobbies, they carry everything from models to paints, plastic & glue. They tend to focus on the big name brands (Revell, Tamiya etc), very little selection from limited run kit makers. They have a flat rate for shipping so it pays off to make big orders. I generally find Tower to be the fastest of the three.

Megahobby, has a wide selection of stuff. They also have a better selection of models from the smaller model companies than Tower does.

All three have similar prices, and I generally have my order in a week or less. I think the fastest was 2 days and the longest 10-12 days. Unlike several venders I've tried I've never had an issue with any of these three saying an item was out of stock when the website showed it in stock.
