returning vinyl for warpage?

Ok so I am kinda new to vinyl so I am not sure if I am just being too picky so here is the deal:
I purchased 2 new LPs, Beatles white, and Them Crooked Vultures. Both are double lp, and the first song or so has a noticable warp. They play fine...but it's awful nerve racking to watch the needle ride up and down over the waves LOL. I have purcased about 30 records new from the same store and never had this problem before. Since they play fine, is it unreasonable to go back and request another copy? TCV wasn't that big of a deal but the darn Beatles cost a chunk of change!

thanks for your input.

if they play fine, they are fine. absolutely flat records are more rare than you might think.

records never were completely flat...cd's are flat. returning records that won't play well is one thing, but returning because they are not 'visually' completely flat is another. they are vinyl.....

since there are only a handful of plants, and records are pressed in very small runs...they ain't cheap. i still think the 180/200 gram is b.s. however.
