Lighter than advertised

We order this paper all the time. The last order of 4 cases came in with some of the reams a lighter weight than advertised. This was not 20 pound paper. It kept jamming our copy machine and running multiple sheets through our fax. I am willing to try it again but will be very thorough with checking the weight of it.
I use this paper for everything. I use it in my copy machine my printer and my fax machine. It works well in each of those applications just like the descrpition states on the Staples website. I always buy this paper unless I have a coupon for a different copy paper.
I offer a copy service and also need paper for printers and fax machines. I thought that all paper that is 20 LB. weight is the same. I have always bought the very cheapest paper I can find. This one feels much lighter and thiner than all other 20 lb paper that I have used. I am returning 2 boxes I just bought. The paper is very bright which is good but my Brother Fax machine and my Xerox copier are having paper jams (a problem I never had before). I took a piece of paper I had from before and compared it to this one . . Big difference in weight - both are 20 lb. paper! Before you buy a whole lot of this paper please take a look at one piece.
