My main instrument is oboe, so I do make my own; but I can't imagine a ww doubler having the time to spend on making oboe reeds. I have my students buy reeds (I don't have time to make all their reeds), and I adjust them as necessary. I won't tolerate "mass produced" reeds. Pay a few more bucks and get some decent reeds from a real reed-maker. Many reed makers are available, here is one site where you can read reviews by players (keep in mind some players will be 6th graders, so don't write off reeds based on one review).
http://reedreviews.net/
This is informational only, but at least you can get some idea from the various reviews - as well as delivery time expectations. The best would be to get a local pro to make you reeds, but that is not always possible.
Good luck!
