Ordered new bone nut and saddle for acoustic, order got botched. Does this sound right?

I purchased a Yamaha A1m acoustic electric and wanted to upgrade to a bone nut and saddle. I went through "MusicianAtHeart" on eBay, who has positive reviews, and they said they had the specific parts available. The saddle I received was a bit to wide but I filed it down to fit. The nut however is both way too wide depth wise (like 3mm) and the string spacing is a millimeter narrower on both e strings. I measured the exact string spacing with a caliper and asked if I could get one made and their reply was - "Hello, and thanks for reaching out. Being as you are installing a new saddle, the spacing discrepancies should not matter. In regards to the depth, feel free to file or sand it down for a perfect fit. If none of that suits your needs however, of course do feel free to return any mint condition items for a refund. Thanks and have a great day!"

Sound reasonable?
