Anyway they're closed atm so I can't call them about a refund. If worst comes to worst and they don't exchange the fork or whatever, is there anything I can do to remedy this?
Why don't you hold off trying to solve the problem until you determine what the problem is. Talk to the seller first before figuring out how to handle the least likely worst possible outcome. And this is an excellent place to insert a small plug for the LBS who would have rectified the problem before you had a chance to worry about it.
