I opened a box from a medium size grower of 11 tubers today, one of which has what I think is gall. They were all mixed in altogether with a bag of packing material/mulch so there is a risk of cross-contamination. I grow my dahlias in grow bags since I rent in Southern California.
Emailed the seller and they’ve offered to send me a return label and issue me either a refund or replacements. I appreciate them trying to make it right but I’m really conflicted on what to do because on one hand, I definitely don’t want gall but on the other hand, these are also a lot of varieties that I wanted, including one that is hard to find (Cisco. Has a great deal of sentimental meaning for me.)
So what would you do? Would you just get a straight refund and hopefully find these varieties next year since selling season is more or less over, or would you risk it and plant the ones that are not showing signs of gall?

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.
