Ball Joint bent ?

I bought a set of ball joints and received them today. I won't be able to put them in my truck till next week but when I received them, 1 was slanted while the other was straight.

I could not move it straight.. it is stuck in its slanted position.

I called the vendor and they assured me this is normal... I really don't think it is... am I wrong ?

Again, I won't be able to install it till next week but would rather address it now and if need be, order a new on ASAP.
