What should I do if I received the wrong Apple Watch band?

I purchased the latest Iwatch series 10. I inadvertently chose the fitness band as XL instead of M/L. I am now in India and Apple US is asking me to go to the US (which is ridiculous since i can't make plans within 14 days, i.e. the return policy) and Apple India is of no help and completely useless.

What solution do i have as an aggrieved customer here??

P.S. - Sad to see the second biggest company with such huge gaping leaks in customer service and experience. I would like to slowly shift out of apple and move to cost effective and better solutioned products.
