As to their return policy, I unfortunately don't know. In my part of the world, we have pretty strict buyers protection by law, and it is usually handled by the store in which you bought the item.

I use mine with glasses. No problems whatsoever.
No worries. The only times I really have any problems hearing through mine, are when a large semi truck is driving by while I'm out for a jog. I do sometimes have to turn the volume to max, but only in very noisy situations. The newest model from Shokz did go some way to alleviate this, and nowadays it's rarely a problem. I certainly don't have to be in a quiet room!
I can wholeheartedly say that I've never experienced any pain at all. The first few times I used bone conducting headphones, the vibrations tickled a bit, but this faded really quickly, and isn't noticeable at all anymore. Other than that, I don't really notice having them on.
I can usually make out what's being said in my podcasts however I wear mine, the placement doesn't have to be precise. So I don't really think it could be your skull shape. If I had to guess, I'd say it's because you went with a no name brand, but I haven't tried anything other than Shokz (or Aftershokz), so I can't of course be certain of that.
My mother-in-law isn't too fuzzed about the audio quality while listening to music, and I bought her a pair for Christmas a couple of years ago. Except for when she's charging them, I almost suspect she hasn't had them off since. That should probably say something about the comfort level.
Hope that answers some of your questions. I realize this reads almost like a paid endorsement, but I really do love them. I need better audio quality for my music, however, and don't like using them for that except for in a pinch when I've left my Sony's at home.
I've been using bone conductive headphones for years now, and are on my third pair from Shokz (formerly Aftershokz).
The sound is clear, and leaves your ear canals open so you can be aware of your surroundings. Perfect for urban running, or just while doing chores around the house.
The bass is severely lacking however, even on their newest model, where they stated that they'd made good progress in the audio quality department. I couldn't really hear that much of a difference.
I tend to use mine for listening to podcasts and audio books, and keep a pair of more traditional wireless headphones for listening to music.
Not only your DNA, but your whole family tree's DNA. It's just wrong on so many levels.
