Got my camera and lens back. 70-200mm VRII checked out fine, but now requires +20 rather than -20 on my d800 body. I don't know what is going on really. My 14-24mm seems to focus more accurately now though.
You have to "tune" each lens to each body.....once each.
And people think that if the number is + or - 20, ; i.e. at the extreme ends of tolerance, that this is worse than say.....+ or - 5 or some other low number. This is not true; i.e. + or - 20 is no worse than + or - 1.
And the size of that number does not indicate the optical quality of the lens you happen to have purchased over the other guy's purchase of the same lens.... or vice versa.
You'll be perfectly fine once you do the fine tuning to bring the number to "0" (zero).

As long the number falls anywhere between -20 and +20 range, is is ok.

You just need to do the fine tuning to bring it to "0" (zero).
