Thanks for the response. Upon closer inspection, it looks like you're right - the chassis has been skewed slightly due to shipping. I guess mine failed the elephant durability test FedEx generously provides.
Where do I start to correct this? Note: the printer does sit flat, atop a two inch thick oak table. The inaccuracy only affects the x-y plane.
Attached are some shoddy pictures meant to show the inaccuracy, which is much more apparent in person.
Thanks again!

Shippers can be vicious and bend a nice cubic S5 into a parallelogram shape. I swear they have elephants sit on every other package but place the box on one edge first such that there are no longer 90 degree corners.
Does all 4 feet of the printer touch a flat surface? or does your printer rock? If you look down on the top of the printer, are the 4 outer rods perpendicular or parallelogram shape? I'm guessing parallelogram shape as this is a common problem due to shippers abuse. I assure you that all the ones leaving the factory are fine.
First diagnose the problem, then I have suggestions. Maybe show some pictures of the problem as I could be completely wrong about the problem. In the pictures say which side of the part is down when printed.
