To my eye too, but only because I was looking closely.
Is this a new bag? (I.e. can you take it back?)
Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

I don’t think I could take it back because I got it 4 years ago and I never worn it in public before , I just store it at home and use when taking pictures since I didn’t want it to get damaged. But I plan to wear on special occasions.
Chanel would not accept you didn't notice for 4 years however little you've worn it.
My advice is to wear far more often and in public, and just enjoy.
How common is it for the zipper on the secret pocket of a channel classic flap to peel? I've searched the forum and only found one it two threads on it. Is it easy for Chanel to put in a new zipper? Or have you successfully painted over it at home?
Just wear it, stop worrying about it.
Chances are once you start putting things in it you wont notice it either.
Life is too short to worry about a bag you've owned for 4 years that has sat in a box.
Use it or sell it but either way move on.
Also the bag is Caviar leather which is very hard wearing...
You shouldn't be afraid of damaging it.
100%
if you didn’t notice for the past four years, just wear it
otherwise sell it
Does My Classic Flap Look Fine?
Do you see anything wrong with it or not normal?

@Michikoamelia ...
I feel this bag is causing you so much angst its bad for your mental health.
I think you should just sell it.. assuming it has no sentimental value let it go.
Use the money to buy something that makes you happy.
A bag is not worth this level of anxiety

It’s common for the flap to sit lower on one side. The flap itself is cut evenly. It’s the arch that is uneven. Start using the purse and the leather will soften and relax the arch. Perfect classics flaps don’t exist, there is no such thing as perfect. If you exchanged it 4 years ago there would have been something else with the purse. Wether ones eye can see the imperfection is another thing.
Sad for the price we pay. But it’s such a gorgeous colour overall
Omg. I'm so fed up. Found a twist in this new bag and I don't think it's an easy fix. It looks like where the leather is stitched is coming through twisted or the metal part is attached incorrectly ..I don't know it's hard to tell and it's not something I can fix by hand. Does this happen? Or is this a defect? I have until Friday in my return window.
Typically it's an easy fix, have you tried working with it? It's common!
