Long story short

Where it was bought doesn't mean much. Which brand and quality grade does.
They know which suppliers will cover the return and which ones wont.
I stopped at Oreallys for a new alternator belt. Rather than state my choises the guy throws the elcheapo belt on the counter. I ask, "Do you have this in Gates brand ?" He says , "Sure but it will cost 3 times as much. This belt is 5.65" The Gates belt cost me over 14.00 even after a little haggling.

Chinaman company no credit your return. Chinaman company make only good part. LOL
Good luck
