I suggest using the phone book. But before that, why not make friends with some local dealers? Buy things from them. Get to know them and vice versa. Learn how they feel about accepting shipments and what they charge for the service.
A dealer doesn't appreciate some guy he has never seen before swaggering in and demanding that the dealer handle a transfer for him, then ranting about the charge (it happens more often than you might think). Some dealers tell people they don't know or have never seen that they don't do transfers, or they jack the charge way up. Good customers, on the other hand sometimes will not be charged a fee at all for a simple transfer.
Also, by learning to know local dealers you can meet people who are, by and large, good folks. You can sometimes get in on some good deals and see what you are buying, something you can't do on the internet.
