Your options are return for refund in the 14 day window or live with it. It sucks but is more of a psychological thing than anything else. The refurb worked better than the new one!
That's not common practice anywhere. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon all have 14 day exchanges while Sprint offers a 30.

If you are still in your exchange window and you took a refurb, you got ripped off. I used to work for Sprint and my wife works for another carrier listed and that is simply unheard of.

Now, outside your window when doing a repair or an AE, absolutely.
