Not online, but most HD, Lowes and Walmart have Hickory and other hard wood lump/chunks on the shelf. My local grocery store also has chunks. Or are you talking about lump charcoal from hickory wood?

Try calling a local tree cutting business. If you have Hickory trees in your area they will probably have some split as hardwood. If you need smaller, a kindling cracker (Northern Tool) will help and if you need shorter, just ask if they can cut some to "X" length for you. You may have to let it age, but a lot of restaurants use green hickory in their smokers, but others want seasoned. Also if you have friends or relatives with apple trees, any time they do any limb trimming or take out a tree, that's a free source. Around here I have a steady supply of Pecan and Apple from my co-workers (Georgia is a haven for Pecan). They are happy when I drag away storm dropped limbs, etc... as it saves them the trouble.
