Ask to speak to the shop owner, i'm sure they wouldn't want this type of work representing the shop. If they don't offer a refund kindly ask them to reimburse you b,c you are going to have to replace the work.
I'm sure they will understand. It's business, not personal to them :)
I'd go with you if you were closer:)
