Wavy reeds don't play right.

I find some brands do it more than others - LaVoz and Xilema are the worst culprits. Something to do with the changing water content of the reed as it's alternately played and rested. Mine usually wrinkle as they dry and then wake up again after about ten minutes of playing.

Recently I've been experimenting with a new reed case where the reeds are stored on a glass plate in a wood/velvet box. This seems to make things a whole lot better.
