Heritage price - pattern quality?

Just received a package of parts from reputable supplier.
I have to say that I´m appalled by the "quality" of Heritage seam mouldings.
All four have wavy areas as if they´ve been clumsily bent with pliers.

Are they supposed to be like this or have I been screwed?
I understand that genuine Heritage parts have that orangey label?
These have no labels, nothing to identify then.
I´m starting to think maybe they are pattern parts?

Luckily not expensive parts, but annoying still..

I’ve just purchased some of these from Minispares and yes they are appalling. . They know it as well . It’s not just minispes ones either . They all require straightening and fitting before top coat … Shirley

Thanks all for comments and pointing to better alternatives.
I just can´t understand how bad exterior "panels" are sold under premium brand.
They should never had passed quality control at the factory.
