Is holding a book in the warehouse for 2 months the new standard? It's not showing up in my submissions and it was scanned in at the beginning of May. Maybe this is the new way to speed up the turn around times? Simply don't set the date for having received it until its out of the warehouse? Two months seems a little ridiculous. At this point should I contact customer service?

I recently received a handful of variants of recently printed comics. All were supposedly unread and boarded and bagged when received. Most are perfectly flat. However, 2 of them are not flat - if you look at them from the top they appear like the pic attached. Both variants are great books in all respects - I assume would easily be 9.8 since they have sharp corners no spine ticks, etc. Will their not being perfectly flat prevent a 9.8 or is this type of issue considered a printing defect? If being flat is required for a 9.8, then I am going to send in for pressing since there were only 100 printed for each variant and I want to do everything I can to insure a 9.8. What would cause this type of issue? Is it a printing defect, or something that might have occurred pre-shipment or during shipping?
