DHS W968 Gold Slam, poor layer thickness uniformity

This user has no status.
Hi Folks,
I just bought the W968 Gold Slam from a reputable store here in Canada, and noticed on one side of the blade, the outer layer is thinner than the outer layer on the other side (Images below). This is not normal right? Did I receive a dud or defective blade? Have any other W968 owners here noticed such bad layer thickness uniformity on their blade?

I just received the blade yesterday, and this morning I called the shop, and they said their table tennis specialist who deals with DHS products and the one who is in contact with DHS is not in yet and that they will contact me later. Hopefully I can get an exchange or refund, especially when the blade is so expensive.

I have marked up the thickness in red to show the difference even more clearly:

Other side looks OK:
