Usually a part of a product is \"replaced\", but a whole item is \"exchanged\".

Also it\'s really short and sweet - don\'t need all the extra words:
\"he or she can go the store to have it exchanged.\"

Heh, I copied your sentence and didn\'t look - of course, it should be \"he or she can go _to_ the store to have it exchanged\".

correct
to have it replaced is correct. What is not is "with a another new one" it should be "for a new one"
