If it is broken from the beginning, then yes, I would.  Whether I
could convince them to do it is another question, but there's no doubt
that if they sell me something, it should behave as promised.

The alternative, I guess, is that the product should be sold with a
big warning that says "In order to bring you the lowest prices, we
offload QA costs onto you."
