What the parents don't know is that music store WILL NOT repair that First Act or Simba flute . . . .

Repairability may be irrelevant. From my personal experience, Costco accepts returns with no questions asked. For example, I returned a computer monitor almost three years after I bought it and got a full refund. However, it is possible that they might some day place restrictions on band instruments (in the same manner as Best Buy now restricts returns on consumer electronics).

Twenty years ago, the wholesale clubs may have bought lot-sizes of off-quality merchandise. These days, I assume the big box retailers have good inspections on incoming lots. The incoming junk lots get rejected and ultimately end up, well, guess where.
