This is one reason why I never use spacers on floors..

Me neither, except if I know for definite that all the tiles are pukka sizes.

Me and my mate who is a building contractor have just started to tile my new house with some 560x560 polished porcelain tiles and are having a bit of trouble getting things square. I have only a little tiling experience and he has been tiling on and off for about 10 years with his father of 30 years experience sometimes they tile the houses they build and sometimes not but both men are extremely tidy and fussy. Basically our problem is the front edge of the tile measures 560.5 and the back measures 561.5 some 562, so we have tiles that are a bit off the square with a 3 mil grout space so we can have 4 corners meet perfectly but then the next set will not as there's always one corner sticking out too far. We have tried to rectify it with leaving some of the grout joints a minuscule amount larger but neither of us are quite happy with it and as its a large area kitchen/sunroom approx 80m2 it is getting a bit annoying. So far we have only dry laid the tiles in case of exactly this problem and are unsure what to do next. How square would you expect tiles to be? Ps their not paid for yet luckily.

I have had this a few times(Very frustrating)!! Although carefully grouted it doesn't look too bad..
Waste of time using spacers on them .. You'll just lose your line...
Consider breaking the bond.. It worked for my client who was very fussy.....failing that .. Back them because it will be a headache for the person fixing....
Good luck
