Almost 95% of the time when you order things from McMaster, they arrive within a business day.

Another good source to look for parts is SDP/SI. They have a large variety of mechanical/motion related parts like sprockets, timing belts, bearings, etc.

If you want something local, check auto parts stores. They may have a lot of random belts (mostly serpentine belts for cars), but may also have pulleys for prototyping. Bicycle/motorcycle/dirt bike/etc related stores may also have timing belts, as well as roller chain.
