I get mcmaster orders next day, if it's something they say ships today. sometimes something ships from somewhere that isn't Elmhurst, and it takes another day, but they're up front about what is coming from where.
I know a guy that has a McMaster warehouse and a UPS hub in his city. If he orders by 9AM, it shows up the same day on UPS!

I would never expect Home Depot or Lowes to have good selections of touter bits, other than basic styles like dome straight and round over bits.
For anything mire specialized, I would figure on going to Woodcraft, or Rockler, or mail order from a specialty supplier.
I’ve been surprised by the router bit section at Menards. When I really need something special I order it from ToolsToday.com. They always arrive second day.

The Chicago McMaster warehouse has a private courier on contract who will run stuff out to you immediately, if you want to pay for it.
