Ugh!!!

I took the car in for an alignment today....It still pulled to the right just as bad,after the shop said they aligned it. I drove three blocks then turned right around to let them know they didn't fix it. The shop manager hoped in my car and drove it for a mile or so. He guessed that it was a bad tire,which made sense.(I had a flat and put a new tire on front passenger around 600 miles ago when I started to really notice my alignment was off). He turned around went back to the shop and switched the fronts(I thought you aren't supposed to do this?). Now it seemed better,not perfect. It still seems to pull sometimes,to both the right or left. I was told to call Tirerack and get a new replacement tire at their cost. I called and Tirerack has already shipped a tire and it should be here Monday or Tuesday next week. Anyone had an issue like this before? I don't have any vibration or shimmies,just not aligned like it should be. Any input would be appreciated. I', possibly thinking that when I have the new tire installed I should have the other front rebalanced as well.
