3D Printing

So I’m setting up my Geeetech A10 printer I got for X-mas and everything went together pretty smoothly. I leveled the 4 corners of the bed using the “leveling paper” provided (0.2mm) and when I went to check the middle of the bed I couldn’t fit the paper under the nozzle without pressing down on the bed. Checked the corners again and still the same result when checking the middle. Even heated the bed up to 100C for about 30 minutes and then rechecked and still the same.

Cooled the bed and leveled the corners using a 0.20mm feeler gauge. Checked the middle with feeler gauges and found the bed - nozzle gap was around 0.04mm. So is a difference of ~0.16mm acceptable or should I probably should ask for a new bed?

The bed is also higher at the mid points of the sides but not as much as the middle so seems to be an even bow to the middle. Also this is the bed with the provided surface build sticker. No bubbles in the surface sticker.
