Royal queen seeds stink !
Don't think it's fair to say one company's seeds are all bad, many growers including me have had great success with RQS
You may have had a hard time with a a few recently, but we all experience that occasionally with any seeds/bank
If you've had a bad experience, please just contact them

Well first, 
to the forum @Ironworker1955 
I do keep mine in a moisture free, cool, and dark place, grab a moisture pack from a pill bottle and throw it in there with them, or some of our sponsors even sell moisture packs
to the forum @Ironworker1955 I've only been growing for 16 years now, and I must say, it's a rarity that I have a bean that won't pop, even from RQS

There's always numerous factors in a seeds failure.
But any company I've worked with was glad to help out, if there were any issues. Sometimes all it takes is clear communication.

What do you do with the seeds that don’t sprout?
I’m a guy who generally gets 9/10 to sprout …then occasionally a batch that just WONT.
The soil that I had them (not) sprouting in goes outside. I find that if all the seeds that don’t sprout for me, about 50% of them sprout later anyway. Anywhere from 10 days to a month later. Had 6 no shows but 3 of them popped weeks later.
This tells me a few things:
Either the shells are too hard on the seeds (which is actually not a bad thing, genetically) that can all be remedied with scuffing.
Or..I had a temp/water issue I wasn’t aware of. Either too cold/hot or over/under watered.
For every person that publicly says a breeders beans don’t sprout, there are thousands without that complaint.
You should just ask them, they’ll probably replace them and ask what your technique was.

I just ordered 4 seeds and got one free and only 2 sprouted. One of the two that sprouted isn't looking very good. The seeds were light colored so it makes me think they just push out everything instead of only the quality seeds that come in.
