May sound crazy and absurd but...........
If you actually call them and express the need for the item and speed of getting it to you ,you'd be suprised how a person to person works 1000 times better than pc to pc or email to email.Most places still do order by phone.
Going back a couple of years I had a home made watercooled computer.Had a water pump,cooling blocks,radiator,tubing,reservoir and fans.I was adding water to the res which was built into the pump.I broke the pump thus making my pc useless.I searched for hours to find a place in NY that had the pumps.I went through every option on the site and fastest I could get it was a couple days which wasn't good enough.I called and spoke to a person he laughed when I told him the situation and said he was leaving to go to fed ex in an hour or so and that he'd personally pick,pack and ship the package overnight for me.He told me to call anytime for help.I got the pump first thing in the morning the next day.I've also had motorcycle parts ordered mid day from California ,arrive early next morning from fed ex.You pay for the shipping but it can come from anywhere in the US the next day.I'm sure the fine print on the site you were shopping at says 2 day shipping but process time is 2-4 days.I avoid sites that process time is anything more than 1 day.
