It's their responsibility to replace it, not to cover costs associated with return transit.

If you bought something from a store, took it home, and found out it was defective, would you demand that the retailer pay for your gas (petrol) that you used to drive back to the store so you could get a replacement?

I'm in the UK and spent a few years working in retail and I have actually seen someone claim back their petrol for the return trip to the store (i think they may have been a lawyer) as the amount was so minor it was better to cough up the cash than to upset said lawyer who was quoting some rarely known UK legislation.
