I agree with all the posts here. And the purchasing power of the retailers have enabled them to actually get homeowner lines produced by mfr's like leviton, sqr d, and others. The item numbers are different. I had some dimmers from a supply house that were returned by another customer(and not checked by supply house counter guy) that turned out to be this cheaper style, and they failed after 4 weeks.
I am not a hardware store. If you want me to go to that store, then you can pay me hourly to do that. They also can hold the warranty. It really does get touchy as far as warranty goes, how do you cover failures? Just walk away- let it be someone elses problem. Do you want more work from this type and their friends(referrals)? I won't allow my liability insurance to cover materials that I did not provide.
