You get what you pay for. Only one out of 6-9 will fit if you're lucky and when you only have few minutes to join boards, you'll wish you had spent the extra cash and bought Lamello.
Could it be the shipping method which Amazon uses to receive the items and the shipping method used to send to the customer. The biscuits will measure smaller. Maybe the problem is with the plastic can. - why so many broken and defective. I am going to order a few of the 1000 boxes.
Now when I go into Lowes and look at their cans I don't see any broken ones. It seems that the Biscuits would spend as much time on a truck getting to a Lowes store. I don't know what it is. The biscuits are great and out of a hundred I will have 1 or 2 defects, ie too small (and no it's not my joints that are too big).
Basically, I have had nothing but good luck with these so I highly recommend them. For years I have been using these P-C biscuits for building tabletops and panels in various furniture projects. Since I work with alot of 3/4" - 5/4" wood, I use these #20 biscuits more than the smaller #10 and #00.I have not had any significant amount of "bad" biscuits from Porter-Cable. There is an occasional thick one - meaning it either didn't get compressed as it should have or it swelled from moisture - but these are few and far between.

The Freud biscuits that came with my cutter were much better in appearance. I must agree with a previous reviewer about there being quite a few defective biscuits. I picked up several containers at a local home center and took a good look at them. I'm not sure how it will ultimately affect the strength of the joint. It was very easy to find them with chipped corrners or with cracks.
