I was once told (by a WalMart optical clerk, so take that into account) that
the most common flaw in prescription lenses is for the axis to be off, and
that it is not uncommon for it to be rounded to the nearest 5 degrees. So,
since yours should be 105, that means that they might consider 100-110 to be
acceptable.
One of your pairs is 105-110 which means 5 degrees of error... I would balk
at that level of error, but apparently my local WalMart wouldn't.
The other pair is off by nearly 10 degrees, and that would fail even the
WalMart QC check.
Were I in your position, I would complain. Other sites *routinely* get the
axis perfect...why shouldn't G4U?
