At the risk of pimping our wares (but as others already have),
we regularly purchase from SparkFun, Seeed, Digikey and Mouser
in descending order of regularity. More than happy to tack extra
components on to orders if anyone wants.

We're just down the road in Timaru so stuff we have here can be shipped
overnight and same day depending on time.
