I just got mine and dig it. The engraving is a nice touch.

I was one of the lucky ones. I ordered this product a couple of years ago. It arrived within 10 days and even had a $1 in the clip with a note that it was bad luck to give a empty money clip. I had no problems at all. What a shame it has gone downhill.

I needed another money clip and so I looked at Superior Titanium http://www.superiortitanium.com/

I bought the Viper clip and I liked it better than the Duck Bill. Took about three weeks to arrive, but no problems. Just an alternative to look at.

my name is Buzz, i`m from Israel. i own a duck bill money clip, that i bought couple of years ago. as store owner, i`m use to carry cash money all the time, and this money clip, is the best thing that i`ve ever had. unfortunately, when i wanted to buy another one (it will be a disaster if this one will get lost) i sent a few mails, but nothing never happened.. it`s a really great American product. i can`t understand why to shut down such a successful brand & factory. after all it is the best money clip ever, and i can understand the guy that wanted to offer 120$ for the clip. since last year, i`m trying the duckbill website every couple of month, checking if anything has changed. i`m still optimistic.

Yes julie, I know that its not worth $120 but I really want one and I figured that I have to pay a premium to get someone else to give theirs up and sell it to me. Lol. They actually probably are not worth the $36-$46 dollars that they charge for them on the web site. So I’m willing to pay it one time. Anyway someone on another site told me that they were still taking orders if you send them a e-mail so ill give them a few days to respond. If I don’t here from them then I will buy yours for $120 andy if you are still willing to sell by then. If I don’t hear from them I will e-mail you to see if you are still interested if they don’t write me back.

@phill Wow, I don’t want to offend you, but that money clip is no where near worth $120. It’s not made of titanium or silver. It’s your money though, so good luck

Sorry was typing on my phone during my initial reply. I’ll part with my clip for $120. It is matte, no engravings and as I mentioned above, I just double checked and do not have the original box. Regardless, it’s in good shape and 7 months old. Email me at the abpove address if you’re interested and I’ll give you my info. – Andy

Yes julie, I meant one hundred and twenty. My friend has one that he ordered from the site about a year ago and I love his. But just my luck when I get around to finally ordering one for myself the guy shuts the site down. So now I’m trying to find anyone with one that they would like to sell and I’m willing to pay $120 for it if anybody has one.

@phill $120??? You meant $12 right?

If anyone has a extra duckbill clip that they would like to sell please let me know. Tried to order one from the site but I think it is down for good. I will pay $120.00 to anyone who wants to sell theirs or has an extra one to sell. As long as it has no engraving on it. Don’t want one with someone elses name on it.

I ordered a money clip back in OCTOBER. When it didn’t come by Christmas, I emailed him and got the same genuine-sounding responses as above. When I still didn’t get it, he eventually sent me a photo of the money clip with my name engraved on it. But then he NEVER MAILED IT. I emailed him a bunch more times and he apologized again and told me he would send me a bonus one with free engraving. I had my friend’s website engraved on it, and Tony later sent me a photo of the money clip with the website engraved on it (I’ve since talked to the engraver Ken Brown and he verifies that he did the work himself). BUT STILL HE HAS NOT SENT THE ITEMS. Why in the world would someone go to all the hassle of engraving money clips, photographing them, and then just not send them. The guy promises up and down and apologizes, but I just want what I paid for. How hard is it to drop these in a padded envelope and mail them. It would probably be faster than photographing them and emailing me the photo. I am going to contact the Texas Attorney General as well as the Dallas Police. I am so sick of this guy’s lies. What a scammer!

How did everyone get a hold of the owner. I have sent 3 e-mails, and have called twice. I have yet to get a response. I don’t want a refund I want my clip. I have received 2 emails stating my order has been “completed” yet I have no clip. Thanks for the help.

Order placed Feb 2, 2011 it is now March 7, 2011

Received the product, refund and additional product. The quality seems second to none. It’s unfortunate that our initial transaction had issues, but after contact was made with Mr. Cornett, he responded and fulfilled the order and my request for a refund. I think that he is in a “tough spot” right now and he is trying to get his orders out. Great product.

*****DO NOT ORDER A DUCK BILL CLIP*************

I wanted to take a minute and retract my comment on Feb 21 regarding my purchase. Today I was pleasantly suprised to recieve not only my original order, but also a refund and a 2nd DBMC. After a few e-mails and phone conversations with Tony, he assured me he and his company were legit and he offered to prove it. Oddly enough, I placed an order for a Super Titanium money clip which arrived together with my DBMC. There really is no comparison, the super titanium arrives simply in an envelope where as the DBMC arrives in a very nice packaged tin case with DBMC logo over the top. The DBMC also appears to be a better quality clip than the Super Titanium. I think I’ll give my additional DBMC to my father as a gift. Thank you Tony for coming thru on your end.

Refund is on its way, we have a confirmed tracking number. He is giving a refund, and the product which we don’t want anymore. Unfortunately, we had to contact multiple agencies and post multiple times on youtube.com before results were achieved.

Same happened to me. Order placed on 1/28. Sent an e-mail…no response, called…no answer. I just called my bank, reported them as a scam and they gave me back a credit.

Hello Everyone,

This morning I tried going to the duckbill money clip website (http://duckbilldesign.com/) but it appears to have been blanked-out or it might be down. I also checked youtube and could not find the money clip video either. Has everyone experienced the same thing? Is it possible that this business has shut down?

Don’t be shocked if within a week or so you do not receive a refund. Just being honest here and preparing you. This is exactly how it went down with me AFTER he finally “gave up” and “sent” me my FIRST refund (which never came).

1- Refund sent by check.

2- One week later- no refund check.

3- Emailed Tony where’s my check?

4- You should have received it? I’ll send another via UPS and you’ll get a tracking number. Oh woe is me and the problems here on my end. It is a really good product though please give us another chance! I’ll make it right.

5- Another 48 hours passed without a tracking number.

6- Tony if I do not have a tracking number for a refund check within 24 hours I will be launching a site called “Duckbill designs sucks”. I will SEO it to make sure it is always in the number 1 hit position in Google results. Your site will be nestled in at number 2. I am about to tell the entire WWW what a scam artist you really are.

7- A few hours later – SURPRISE- legit tracking number.

He is screwing over people one at a time. @ $40 -ish a pop, if 5 or 10 or 15 people order a clip a week, it may be an unsubstantial amount for them to continue pursuing him. He on the other hand just pockets the cash because THAT is what he is banking on (pun intended). He’s probably clearing between $200-$500 a week. $10,000 to $20,000 a year just for having a web site up.

A refund is on the way – hopefully. I had to remain firm and use a combination of the actions taken by others.

You can research it on your own time, but Federal Law gives a company 30 days, unless the company alerts the customer to any delays during purchase, to get merchandise to its destination. If delivery is not possible, the merchant must offer the opportunity to request a refund.

Jordan M — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 05:15:01 +0000

The only way I got a response was to post repeatedly on Youtube. He finally said that he “gave up” and that the refund was being sent out tomorrow (today) so we’ll see. I’m not counting on it being shipped though. I am going to wait until the check is in hand.

Peter, a good place for consumer complaints is here: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

The link in the bottom right corner should help you, since you’re across the border. I’m going to follow-up with the BBB and the FTC and the TX AG’s office in order to see what can be done.

I’m afraid that there are a lot of customers who have not said anything and they are just out of their money.

Yep the ONLY way to get through to him is to confront him on his Youtube page. THEN start emailing him. Sucks but it is the ONLY hope you have at receiving your money back or your clip. For anyone else who hasn’t ordered yet – DON’T.

Hello,
I ordered one of the DuckBill Money clips on January 10th, 2011. Same story. On the 19th of January, he emailed me a picture of my engraved money clip. Looked good and I started to feel better. After that he went “dark”. I sent countless emails and no response. My question is, how hard can it be to mail the money clip that has already been produced? I am based here in Canada, and I was wondering how do I file a complaint with the TX AG, and FTC. We have to keep after this guy. Thanks for your postings.
