+1  Let them know why so they have the opportunity to address it - either with 
you now, or to carry that knowledge forward to other customers. If someone else 
can benefit from the problems you went though, that's a win of some sort.

Maybe he should know, and he might try and make it right.  At the very least, 
you have nothing to lose by letting him know.  And/or, if you're getting a new 
reseller see if you can get help from them in returning it, explaning the 
situation...

It was part my fault, part the resellers.  The switch I ordered was from the 
3COM line, and the reseller assumed (very wrongly) that the series in question 
is being retired by HP.  It is not.  So the reseller ordered the wrong switch 
and I caught it once I was about to sign the purchase order.

But yes, I told the reseller of the error, and it's taking forever.  I'll take 
blame, but I'm not cool with a simple return taking four month.  I can't tell 
if this an HP or reseller issue, though.

Little does the reseller know this is the *last* business he'll do with me.

I agree with Ben.  I may have some issues with our reseller (usually bad 
quotes), CDW, but I've never had an issue with them refusing to issue an RMA. 
Switch-wise the only issue I had was when he quoted me a ProCurve and sent me a 
re-labeled 3com.
