New Redding dies; decapping pin crooked. Problem?

Hey guys,
Just got my first set of reloading dies for my .308. I've notices that the decapping pin isn't centered in the bore of the die, which also emplies that the neck sizer portion of the die is also crooked. It's very noticeable when you're adjusting the depth in and out, and tightening the lock nut doesn't center it up either.

Is this normal? It's the same on the neck sizer and full length sizer. I haven't used them yet because I'm still buying up other stuff I need to do the deed. Should I send these back?

I'd give Redding a call and talk with the tech guy. They'll get it right.
