Damn! I had a fork issue as well.
No issues with rear dropouts and the fork axle lines up fine. But when I first put in the front wheel that @broken_777 built for me it was off centre like it was dished wrong (which it wasn’t) tried couple different front wheel and same issue. Both were off centre. Concluded that It’s defo fork measurement issue (which is apparently a thing with thru axles in modern forks) No problems riding it though, in any case Martin helpfully re-dished the wheel to account for it.

Fork dropouts not lined up, insert through axle and centre line of where the axle meets the dropout on other side was about 10mm off, no box damage, had to heat the fork dropout and bend it with a big bar. Lines up fine now but paint cracked, blew some lacquer over it to prevent rust.
Rear dropout cracked at mudguard eyelet, folded over about 30-40 degrees, no damage to box or packaging. Looks like it was struck at factory, then had cardboard tube zip tied over it to prevent further damage in transit. Neither of which omnium would have known about, just shit that comes out of factories from time to time, unlucky I guess.
