I have been hearing stories of cheap chinese knockoffs being co-mingled into the supply chain of home building materials. Have you heard of any of this? I hate having to deal with Chinese supply chain crap from Amazon and my hope is that the local American stores are the last bastion of not having to worry about this sort of stuff.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI have not heard of it from Home Depot/Lowes (which do sell cheap quality stuff, but it is priced as such and labeled separately from high quality stuff as far as I know). I assume the at the consumer level retail level, it is only a problem at Amazon because they literally mix up inventory from various sources, whereas I assume Home Depot/Lowes/Target/Walmart do not (since they have not publicly stated it like Amazon). Of course, the brands the items are sold under themselves might be swapping out their previously higher quality components for lesser components, and who would know until you have sufficient data from experience.
