Eh [SEP] I’m a hairstylist and I love to use the duckbill clips. These are really beautiful clips. However when I received them only 6 of the 12 clips shut correctly. When u squeeze to open and then release to close the clip they would close incorrectly. They would be off center. What a disappointment.  I did call and they said I could keep them and they sent me a new batch. But I had the same issue again! Only about six would close correctly! I never had so many issues with the quality of amazon products lately.  Just know you always get what u pay for on here.
