If it goes together OK but then sticks fast, just leaving it somewhere cool and dry for a week can sometimes get it apart (dries out the playing moisture). Then you get it fixed. If it's a month old it should be under guarantee so taking it back is best. Having said that I have adjusted my own instrument's centre tenon with a needle file, vernier caliper and a lot of patience. Remember: look twice, cut once, and you can't put anything back. Opinions differ on bore oil but I find that a very sparing application (few drops on a pull-through) stabilises things a bit.
