Have them shipped:

If you buy them from a local dealer, you can ask them to match the internet prices. The worst that can happen is they say no. To find dealers in your area, go to the Kumho website and click on "Find a dealer" at the top of the page.

The Kumho SPT does not come in a 15" size for a '94 Accord. You might be able to get away with the SPT in 205/55-15 but you would be much better off with 195/60-15, for which the Yokohama ES100 is available.

It's generally a bad idea to mix mismatched tires (tires that are not the same make and model on all four corners), because they will make the car's handling unpredictable. For example, in some conditions two tires may grip better, in other conditions the other two tires may grip better. However, you can get away with it if the two kinds of tires are very similar in most performance characteristics. You don't mention which Dunlop tires you have. The Dunlop Direzza DZ101 is very similar to the Kumho SPT; that is the only Dunlop tire I would mix sith the SPT.
Again, if it were my car, I would get the 195/60-15 Yokohama ES100 rather than the 205/55-15 Kumho SPT.
