I would think so? Prices are good, but when you have an issue PITA. I have a Heated Hammock seat from Kutter that came in with the rear tab really bent badly. Can probably be straightened, but concerned about it breaking out of the plastic seat pan?

The seat I would not fix, I'd exchange.
The shocks, they will only probably exchange unless this can be determined to be normal for these shocks. I don't know if you'll get ahold of anybody at Surdyke to personally look at another set or contact Harley.
The 2-1-2 head pipe from Fuel Moto I installed was close to my cam chest, I put a couple of pieces of cardboard between there to create clearance then tightened the pipes up then removed the cardboard and all is good now.
You need a case number from the Harley Forums and a team of experts to work on your problems.

You're having a bunch of bad luck.

I can't say for certain because I haven't personally seen the shocks new in the box, but I'd be willing to bet that it's normal. Those new shocks have not yet ever had any load on them. They both work differently, one for compression and one for rebound I believe.
Did the box and packaging look new and unopened? You can call Surdyke or speak to any HD service department or parts counter about it if it makes you more comfortable, but I'm thinking it's normal. JMHO

my premium shocks were different lengths till I did the install. Check the part numbers on the shocks.
