I had a semi professional paper business, and have been dealing with accucut for about 20 years. they do occasionally manufacture a bad die. This is why I suggested the OP cut some paper & verify the die is accurate. I check all my dies as soon as I get them. I would also say that it's more apt to happen with the plastic backed GO! dies than- the heavier duty wood (Studio) ones. I have had excellent success with their customer service, however, so please give them a chance to correct it.
