Thank you for your insight. I agree that its chances are slim. And as mentioned, I've had pretty bad luck with ailing bulbs. Great idea, offering to return the bulb to the seller.

Update: The company was super nice and understanding. They're sending me a replacement. I will definitely do business with them again, as they have varieties that I'm looking for and their service is prompt.
