I've recently purchased a Manifest Glassworks straight pipe from a reputable online dealer. I've chosen MGW based on reviews and a general consensus that it's a very good brand. Upon arrival today, there are noticeable scratches in the glass, the base is uneven causing a slight wobble, the downstem is off centered, there's even a raised bump looking like a grain of sand or something, that I can catch my fingernail on.
Is there a certain level of imperfection to be accepted with a piece like this and I am being too picky or did I get ripped off?
Here are some pictures I've taken of the scratches: http://imgur.com/a/rOBst
