I even reviewed it on Costco.com with pictures to show exactly what I mean.
First one came with broken plastic bits in the shredder head and the basket warps when the shredder head is attached.
Got a replacement from them with the same issue where the basket warps when the shredder head is attached.
Went to the local warehouse to check the model they have on display and they had the same issue where the basket cant support the weight of the shredder head.
A few months later on a road trip to another state, I stopped by two more Costco (one in Delaware, one in Virginia) both on display also had the exact same issue.
Late 2025, I flew out to Colorado for a trip and stopped in the Costco in Colorado Springs to pick up some snacks and also saw the shredder on display also had the same issue.
Yes, people can form their own opinion and my experience is anecdotal, but if you check the reviews on Costco.com, its not an isolated issue. There's some glaring quality control issue that Royal hasn't addressed.
Community Reviews
This Royal 14 sheet micro cut shredder is best for steady home use, with small cuts, decent quietness, and enough power for paper, credit cards, staples, and even some cardboard. It has held up for months or years in several homes and offices, and the motor fan and Costco return policy add some peace of mind. The main concern is quality control, with reports of cracked plastic, warped baskets, and a brittle case that should be checked on arrival. It can also bog down or jam if overloaded, and speed is its biggest weakness.
The shredder has worked fine for regular home use over multiple months without basket or shredder-head issues.
The shredder can handle staples and still shred sealed junk mail envelopes effectively.
The motor includes a fan, which supports safer operation during home shredding.
The unit can produce smaller micro-cut pieces and runs fairly quietly compared with a heavier Fellowes cross-cut shredder.
The basket and shredder-head area can arrive without cracks and can support the heavy head during early use.
Quality control can fail on arrival, including broken plastic bits and basket warping when the shredder head is attached.
The shredder can jam when it is abused with super thick junk mail or thicker card stock.
The plastic case can be rigid but brittle, so shipping cracks are a practical risk that requires inspection on arrival.
The shredder can be slower than a heavy-duty Fellowes cross-cut model, which may matter for larger shredding sessions.
The bin design can include protrusions that may puncture bags during shredding.
