Anyone know if any Mazda dealer offer online discount prices for local pickup? need some parts and trying to save the shipping cost and time.

Are you asking for them to match factory part prices you’ve found online or factory vs. generic manufacture discount prices.
I use rock auto when I don’t need OEM and Mazda Motorsports ( I race Mazdas) when I need OEM. If I need it local I have decent experience getting a local dealer to match my racer discount (at cost)

i’ve had decent luck calling the parts department directly and asking if they’ll match the online price for local pickup. some of the dfw mazda dealers will actually do it if you ask nicely

I have a Mazda myself and do all my own work. In my experience, Mazda is one of the few manufacturers that didn't/doesn't seem to have a known go-to online discount OEM parts place that's just cheapest across the board.
Honda used to have HondaPartsNow and Majestic Honda, Nissan used to have NissanPartsASAP, etc. I never did find a reliable one for Mazda.
Unfortunately, even the Honda and Nissan ones seem to have all been bought out by some weird very poor customer service drop shipping company, actually called Auto Best in El Monte, CA, whose "warehouse" is roughly the size of a Dairy Queen.
What I do now, if I want actual OE parts, is use the online catalogs to get the OE part numbers. Then I simply search online for the best total shipped price for that OE part.
Sometimes the best price is a dealer selling on eBay, sometimes it's on Amazon, etc. I haven't found one place to be cheapest across the board. You have to do a little leg work to independently search the parts but you can always get the best overall deal this way.

Got the part number? Call the Mazda dealer of your choice, get a price and go down there and pick it up.
RA is my go to, but if I need something like now, then off to the dealer it is. Unless it’s ridiculously expensive, then it’s eBay or the Pick n Pull.

I’ve got a driver side head lamp for a CX-30 if you want it

Some dealerships sell parts online. Just call your local dealerships and Ask them. if you don’t have any luck. There’s always a junkyard route, but you gotta go and get it yourself.

No idea but I’d check rock auto. They’re the gold standard for reputable aftermarket car parts. Incredibly cheap from reliable suppliers. Shipping isn’t usually cheap but that is absolutely offset.

Rock Auto is where I go, parts cost + shipping usually is cheaper than anything I’ve found at a local shop in DFW.

I agree with Rock Auto from a dependability standpoint, but OP was asking for cheap or free shipping, which Rock Auto is not. Unfortunately, with whatever tariffs or these changes in duty fees the overseas shipping costs are ridiculous.
Hey OP, if you're trying to locally source parts for your Mazda, first step is make, model, and year. There's enthusiasts for almost every model of Mazda, you can find forums and message boards with people selling any part imaginable. As for dealerships, the Mesquite location and Irving are both the largest in the metroplex, that would be your best bet. I'm currently restoring a 1978 Toyota FJ40, I've found e-Bay motors is surprisingly reliable for parts, a few places have ridiculous shipping costs, but if you take the time to look you can find what you need.
