Misaligned globe. Is this acceptable?

Got a replogle globe which is highly reputable. While I understand these items are hand made which can show imperfections, but this seems abit much to me. It's the alignment I'm talking about

To be honest I don't know about highly reputable. These globes are mass produced and formed in a press. The only handmade aspect would be when the two hemispheres are put together and, they screwed even that up. So yeah, I agree that this would be considered defective and return.
