       location.replace(result);
       $('#hero-success-notification').addClass('show-up');
       $('#hero-submit').addClass('disabled');

Answer 2

The problem is your php header redirect:

header("Location: $redirect_thankyou"); 

This causes the browser to load the redirected page in your ajax call:

$.post("hero-form.php", $("#register-form").serialize(),function(result){

So result will contain the html contents of the page you have redirect to and not just the word sent.

You need to remove the header() redirects in php and instead send the content back that your ajax call in jQuery is expecting. Json would be better suited for this, but a single string should work as well.
