Man, I got in a Walden classical guitar yesterday and the slot in the bridge is wider than the saddle is thick, so the saddle actually rests in the slot at an angle putting pressure on the top edge of the nut side of the slot and the bottom portion of the bridge side of the slot. This is a nice, slow, method to eventually split the bridge in two. I mean when I held the guitar up to a light and sighted down the saddle I could see light in a gap on BOTH sides of the saddle, on the bottom for nut side and the top for the bridge side. I loosened the strings completely, removed the saddle, trimmed a shim to fit and then placed a shim on the nut side of the slot while slipping in the saddle. Now she's as tight as Dick's hat band. Whatever that means.
I guess I'm saying this due to what Marty/Allthumbs mentioned above. When you mail order a guitar, go over it with a fine tooth comb. Minor finish flaws are one thing but a poor fitting saddle can be more disasterous than just a bad transfer of string energy to the top.
