The model #'s are changed to prevent comparison shopping.

Yes and no... With many items this is the case.
FOr the particular item I was having a problem with, it wasnt a Lowes exclusive. However for those kinds of items they may have a rating system when going through QA and the lower end stuff goes to Lowes. I have also seen how they handle some of the items which may have been why they were damaged... Boxes also have the THIS END UP arrow for a reason, so when I see items placed on the wrong side, it makes me wonder...
The good thing is they have a excellent return policy and I dont mind returning things until I get one that doesnt suck...
