I agree with you. After reading so many posts, I now look for imperfection automatically when I look at a bag. To be honest, your alignment is very noticeable. It is off centered a lot. If this doesn't bother you, please enjoy but if this bothers you now, you will continue to think about it everytime you see it, so you might just want to return for another bag. I also went through this 3 times and my fourth bag finally came with close to perfection.Honestly I should have never read some of these posts because I would have never noticed this before... but my bag isn't aligned perfectly. I think I'll still keep it but I am worried people will assume it is fake! The bottom of the lock is fine but the top part is not aligned with the LV. What do you guys think?
