Wow -- that's awful. I wish I could see the reeds and hear them.
Are they harder to blow that the others you have had?
What do the tips look like? What do the backs look like?
Sometimes a reed will come with the tip very open. (It needs to be more closed to play well.) If that is the case, wet the reed, and give it a little pinch just above the threads (fingers on the broad side of the reed). This action will close the tip and raise the pitch a little.
There are also some simple adjustments you can make with a single-edged razor blade. Do you have a plaque?
Did you get these directly from Charles Double Reed, or from Ebay? Either way, if you can't get them to work, I think it would be worthwhile to let them know you are having issues with the reeds.
