Auto Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia
Delaware Porsche Parts in Newark, Delaware
FCP Euro in Milford, Connecticut

German Auto Parts in Galway, New York
Hennessy Porsche Atlanta, Georgia
Suncoast Porsche in Sarasota,Florida
Vertex Auto in Miami, Florida


Alternate suppliers (not on the Eastern Seaboard)
928sRUS in Texas
ECS Tuning in Wadsworth, Ohio
Parts Geek in Doylestown, PA
Rock Auto in Madison, Wisconsin
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one but FVD brombacher has a warehouse in Florida and also gives a 10% rennlist member discount (Last I took advantage of)

As discussed in another thread - Pelican, Rennline and ECS are all owned by the same Private Equity firm nowadays.

You guys are keeping me busy! The newest list with links is below. I separated those that are not on the Eastern Seaboard but are still closer than California since the goal of this thread was to cut down on shipping time and costs for those of us who live in the east. I also added a section for those in Canada. By the way this is not intended as a slight to Pelican or any other west coast suppliers. I still get most of my parts from Pelican as I find their selection of in-stock parts and website is outstanding. But sometimes us East coasters need to get our parts ASAP even if it only makes a day or two difference. (I have no affiliation with any of the vendors mentioned in this thread)

Auto Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia
Delaware Porsche Parts in Newark, Delaware
FCP Euro in Milford, Connecticut
FVD Brombacher in Pompano Beach, Florida (10% discount for Rennlisters)

Oemluxuryparts.com in Lawrence Township, New Jersey
German Auto Parts in Galway, New York
Hennessy Porsche Atlanta, Georgia

Suncoast Porsche in Sarasota,Florida
Vertex Auto in Miami, Florida


Alternate suppliers (not on the Eastern Seaboard but closer than California)
928sRUS in Texas
ECS Tuning in Wadsworth, Ohio
Parts Geek in Doylestown, PA
Rock Auto in Madison, Wisconsin

Canadian Suppliers

RSP Motorsports INC in Komoka, Ontario (FVD Distributor)

https://www.autohausaz.com/ in AZ is excellent

For dealers https://www.gaudinporscheparts.com/ from NV has some of the best prices
also
https://www.harperautoparts.com/ - TN
https://www.getporscheparts.com/ - MD
https://www.sunsetporscheparts.com/ - OR

Sunset and Suncoast usually come out with Black Friday deals, so be on a lookout if you need something.

FWIW, I had a terrible experience with Auto Atlanta. Admittedly, it was years ago, but I won't do business with them again. Hope others have better luck.

Interesting, I never knew that. It's been a while I've had to order from them. Forgive my ignorance but is that bad? Or just not much value to the consumer anymore.

I have good luck with AutoAtlanta (mostly for the 914) and used to use Pelican a lot more, but the shipping wait was getting old. Not to mention, all of these websites are in SERIOUS need of an update.

(now that I see Pelican, Rennline, etc are owned by a big holding company...there shouldn't be any excuse to put a little money into updating their sites to be responsive and modern...)

Funny you should mention that. I recently ordered a $6 plastic clip from Auto Atlanta. They sent me an invoice showing $6 as a shipping charge and I was fine with that. But when the part arrived I was charged $24 for shipping.
I figured that they should have offered me the chance to cancel the order when they realized shipping costs had quadrupled.

Not bad, unless the plan is to eliminate competition. It can actually be better in some instances due to providing more working capital for smaller businesses. In many cases a lot of the management and operations remain the same.
