There's another problem with Home Depot in that they may be cheaper than the local people but will only offer you whatever they carry. You can't get the "ideal" bath fixture, the one that would be perfect for you, you can only get items exactly like everyone else's.

It seems all the rules are different for every item. I found that local plumbers will kill you on parts. BUT I have a local carpet guy who is cheaper than the hired guns that will put in store-bought carpet - plus, they put in higher-quality stuff, and do a much better job.
