I don't think it is directly Wiltronics fault.. I have had good service from them anyway. Not having a go at the OP in any sense, but I think I paid $15 for my 2 Litre, and I understood it is probably not the best craftsmanship but figured the amount I'll be using it, will be fine if care is taken.
Glass needs to breathe, I'm generally pretty cautious mixing temperatures in glassware at any point.. generally with my flask I just get it to a gentle boil and boil longer and let it cool down. Glass can smash with time and morphs/expands with time just like the gherkin building in London which needed panels to be replaced due to temperature fluctuations and glass type.
I heard on abc radio once that someones entire aquarium just burst into shards for no reason at all, and this was the reasoning given by the presenter. Thats probably a much bigger predicament than a cheap flask!
See if there is a science shop in the area like others have recommended, I didn't think of that but its probably your best bet No need to cry over spilt milk/wort/beer.. well maybe beer
