Anyone else unhappy with their volkl revolt 104s?

I'm wondering if other people that may have received their revolt 104s are also dissatisfied with the way the skis arrived. I have already sent one pair back to evo because the tip and tail of one of the skis had noticeable differences in the rise of the rockers. The second pair that I received are much closer to being identical skis, but still they are clearly different in their contact points while laying flat and the rise of the tip and tail of one of the skis.

Any comments are welcome, I am at a loss for what I should do, I really wanna ride these skis.
 
I can only speak to a single pair, but the one we have is totally normal in terms of rocker profile and shape matching between the two skis in the pair.
 
Thanks for replies. I got on the phone with evo and volkl today. Since it seems like this may not be a widespread issue I'm hopeful I can get it resolved and get a pair that look similar enough for me to not notice/ not care.
 
UPDATE: There was apparently an issue with a huge number of pairs of these skis, as a manufacturing issue on volkls end. Who knows how long it will take to get a good pair, if it takes too long I will probably just ask for a refund and buy a pair at the end of the year when they are on discount or buy next years model where they have hopefully ironed out some of their manufacturing issues.

To those of you who have them and think your pair is fine, lay them flat on the ground and make sure the rocker profiles match!

Do you have proof?
 
I received my pair of 104 back in mid sept and they have no issues.

That said I am getting ready to mount some pivots. The line is pretty much on center -2. Anybody who has them mounting off center?

Pretty symmetrical design but I’m sure -3 or -4 wouldn’t throw you off that much
 
Just put them on the suggested line, it feels right, I have 10 hours and 3 park trips on them so far, going to hit the park again in a few hours.
 
Thanks for bringing this up, I'm going to check all of our pairs at the shop today (although we've already sold a few). I know my personal pair is even so am curious to see if our others for sale are.
