Question Where to get a good price on 4-way switches?

I'm looking to swap out the standard light switches in my house for the decorator "rocker" style. However, my upstairs/downstairs hallways are each on a 4-way system. Home Depot/Lowe's sell them for about $13 each...woof!

Any recommendations for online companies you trust that might have more reasonable prices? Thanks!

Menard's, Amazon, E-Bay. If you want to play you have to pay.

No, unfortunately that's about what they run -- at least $10 or so. It's a low volume item.

Order on-line if you don't need right away. On-line price runs around $10.
You may be able to find someone selling cheaper on eBay.

It may not be ordering on-line if you are only buying 1, but for multiple switches, it will be worth it.

I don't mean to sound sarcastic but think about what you're getting. $13 is a very good (low) price for an appliance that will do a four way circuit. You want utility and decorator design. You pay for it.

Yep, by the time you pay for shipping $13 will be a good price.
