Tried to install my NewerTech USB Outlet.......

It would not remotely fit into the conduit box.

Anyone want to buy two: One opened, but unused and one new and unopened?

I just ordered two, otherwise I might have taken them off your hands. There's a note at the bottom of their product page and also an installation FAQ video that indicates that you need to carefully measure your box size to be sure that they will fit. This issue is also true of a lot of other devices these days (dimmers, GFCIs, timer switches, etc).

Fortunately for me, I'm installing some new electrical stuff in my kitchen so I am putting in new (large) boxes.

I saw that in all of the reviews.

Example:

The Power2U outlet is significantly bigger (both depth and width) than a standard 15A receptacle. In fact, if you’re not using a full-size single-gang box you may have difficulty installing it (and Newer Tech gives a list of compatible boxes for new and old work). Shallow boxes simply may not cut it (essentially this receptacle is similar in size to a GFCI) and you rally need a full two inches to make everything clear the sides of the box.

Install a new gang box.

Pm sent. I've got big gang boxes !

FWIW I picked up a surge suppressor / USB outlet that screws to the outside of an outlet . Works nice, only adds about 2" thickness .
