Defective Camber (JP vs. Juliens)

So I just recieved my JP Juliens. They are brand new still in the wrapper, however, they are 05s. Upon first inspection they looked great. When I put them on a flat surface to check the camber...shit. One of the skis looks perfectly normal, the other ski has about 2 or 3 times as much camber as the other ski. It literally sits twice as high off the counter than the other ski.
So now I am hear asking you guys for your help cause I really need it. Since the JP is so soft, does a difference in camber really matter that much? Since they are 05s (although they are still in the wrapper) will Armada warranty them? And since I bought them online from a shop do I have to ship them back, and then they have to ship them to Armada or can I take them to a local shop to have them RAd. This is kind of a big deal considering I just got rid of a few pairs of skis (trying to downsize) and now I feel like im in a very akward position. Anyways, your opinions please folks.

If you do end up bringing them to your local shop after you were a jackass and bought them online to save a few bucks, bring beer with you, and give them the beer as a token of your gratitude for sending the skis back/apology for buying online.

I would just try callin armada. When I needed to warantee my look bindings the guy at skimarket was a jackass so I just left and called them myself and it worked out fine. Although I mailed them out through REI where I work... maybe that's why. try calling them anyway couldn't hurt.

Whew. SO I was really stressed out and not thinking rationally at all. I sat down and thought about it and decided to call Armada. Tyson was really cool and nice, and we got it figured out. I really didn't expect to be able to call Armada and actually talk to someone who knows what they are talking about. I expected some indian person that was doing outsourced calls or something, but that wasn't the case. I am very happy with their service so far. thanks tyson! Thx to anyone that helped.
