If you still have the return address for the ones that came up not fertile, I would just drop them a note and tell them that they were all not fertile and how disappointed you were to not get anything viable from them. Also just say you set some other duck eggs at the same time, that you candled, and are due to hatch this week.
Maybe they will offer to send you some more. Doubt they would return any money. But they are not obligated as hatching eggs are not sold with any guarantee. Still they might do something for you. Those are the ones that came from Michigan? They just got too cold in transit.

I think one should be able to expect that hatching eggs are at least fertile! I could sell you "hatching eggs" from many breeds of chickens but none would be fertile since I have no roo. A roo missing the mark or shooting blanks isn't any better than my roo 
A person should at least know that the eggs they sell are likely fertile. NONE out of 12??

Nope. The ones I did open after culling them had absolutely no bullseye on them.I think one should be able to expect that hatching eggs are at least fertile!

But thats what I get from buying off of Ebay.
The six I got from the other seller are all doing well. Nice and dark and definetly something moving in them.
But, I wont know how many I get from them until they hatch. If at least 4 make it thats good but its a crap shoot.

I doubt he would send me more. I already threw the eggs out so I cant prove that they had no bullseye. I just wont buy off of Ebay again. At least, not from him.
