Paraneer,

Lots of local to me record stores stacking a new releases on vinyl have descent policy. Apparently you can run into the defected copy or warped one. I ran into the warped vinyl and got that one easily and painlessly exchanged. The suppliers actually accept the defected ones and exchange. Must be real defect though. I've seen various such as uneven surface bump(s) or heavy warp. Both SHOULD qualify for exchange.
On one of the The CAN releases "Tape Sessions" I had to wait couple of weeks till they get better batch of flat records.
Suppliers do find ways to work out the defect situation with retail stores to void hit-or-miss kinda business. Not sure what kind of deal B&N has with suppliers. Perhaps they go for larger profit margin than local retailers.
