Real wood baseboard and casing, even paint grade, normally has a number of reliefs milled in the back to prevent warping.
Are you sure the stuff the contractor delivered for your place is not just cheap, primed MDF? MDF is made from sawdust.
Look at the end grain and also on the back if it is not painted to see if there really is any wood grain or growth rings.
Stick your thumbnail down into the back somewhere and see how soft it is.
You had an upcharge of $4,250 for solid, stain grade interior doors with lever handles and another $2,950 for stain grade 5" baseboard and 4" casement.
