That happens when you bring your own parts to a shop(replace with NO WARRANTY). It's not the parts, most likely the shop didn't perform the proper repair. Most likely the system needed flushed and the shop did not do that. LIVE AND LEARN!

Makuloco has an informative vid on YT to help you understand how the A/C system works:

My only suggestion would be a class on punctuation.

Great you got a refund.
Btw, system flush should come before compressor replacement!

A/C Compressor Limited Warranty
This warranty only applies to compressors when proper installation is met by replacing the accumulator, expansion device, flushing the system of all debris, and using the proper type and amount of system oil.
