I completely 100% agree with David. The people who works there don't know that much about intruments so telling them you replaced a pad or two might give them the wrong ideas you ruined it or something. What you fixed is minor and only brought back the horn to playable condition.
I will say again, return the instrument imediately! It doesn't feel good to buy an instrument you don't like. You will regret it if you don't return it, at least that is what I think.
About the C stock description, I sold WW&BW a clarinet that had a crack that was fixed and was not in the best condition but it played beautifully. They put it under their C stock too. It was pretty obvious it can be any type of damage and repair, and like I said before, they don't describe each instrument indivually. Maybe you could notice that there is not even one instrument on their entire website that is described individually. I think they were completely honest.

Bottom line is, never buy an instrument without trying it first! I flew 11 hours, then drove 13 hours (in the rain), drove back 12 hours (no rain so it was shorter) and flew back 10 hours, to find my instrument. Not everyone is willing to do that, but in the USA you don't have that problem since you have stores with clarinets there.

Good luck.
