B&H is usually quite good about returns within a reasonable period with
no questions asked (as long as original cards and box are present, and
item has not been used). Your short time frame may be a problem,
though, if there ae any delays. Even that should be no problem using
overnight delivery -- as long as the paperwork does not get forgotten
for a week or some such thing.
If you want to try the B&H route, first contact Henry Posner directly
and explain the problem. He is an executive there but frequents news
groups and the like, is a straight shooter, and solves lots of problems.
(I believe his e-mail address is given at the web site.) He may be able
to make arrangements that are satisfactory.
