I've gotten to the point that if it's a nonsense all-caps name or has an item description in broken English, I just don't bother. It's gonna be trash. It'll fail in 3 weeks, there will be no way to get it returned or repaired, the company won't exist, and the product listing will be gone next time you come back to it.

We're talking about Amazon though right? You can definitely return that, that's even inside the official return window (one month).

  3 months if you are Amazon Business shopper.

    In my non-Business experience, it doesn't matter, just chat to support. (I'm not suggesting taking the piss, but I've had genuine issues ranging from slightly to very out of their one month return window, and I've had full refunds or replacements without at all unreasonable exertion on my part.) (Except one actually, very recently, it was a relatively high value Warehouse order that wasn't as described and I returned - no problems accepting/arranging that, but some tardniness on the actual refund coming through. Probably it would have been fine, but I did chase it several times before eventually getting someone willing/with the power to override whatever was making it take weeks to refund after having shown as delivered to their facility. I still think even that experience was better than I get elsewhere, and certainly on the whole it is, that was my worst ever, and it was fine in the end.)

  Okay, well, 5 weeks then :) (Yes, if it's inside the Amazon time window, I could return that)

I bought a bunch of underwear from a nonsense brand name on Amazon once and it actually turned out to be both high quality and have the nonsense brand name printed in big letters on the elastic bands. So some of them are proud of it. (EYUSHIJIA, which sounds Chinese but doesn’t mean anything according to the trademark application.)
