Two hours before you caught it is rough, but honestly the 2011 show thing is kinda funny. I did something close last month with a podcast, downloaded 6 episodes of some true crime thing and got halfway through before I noticed the hosts kept saying a name that didn't match the case I meant to hear about. Turned out I grabbed a totally different series with almost the same title. Finished it anyway too, so at least we both got a random show out of the deal.

Kept hearing the same thing from a couple guys at the lumber yard, but the $700 price tag is kind of the tell here. Once you get past like $400 or so you're mostly paying for better hardware and actual engineering, and cheap kits cut corners on both. The blurry instructions are on purpose too, they know most people will just muscle through instead of sending it back. Jason should check the return window before he does anything else, because if the holes are that far off it's never going to square up right no matter how much you drill. Also worth telling him to save the box and take pics of the misaligned parts, some of those companies get real picky about refunds once you've started modifying stuff.
