I'm thinking about purchasing from this website, particually this board: http://app.thechessstore.com/product/ORB387E/

Has anyone bought from here before? How was the delivered product?

Thanks in advance for any responses!

yah, but you posted a mobile phone app link, so I couldn't see the picture on my computer, so I looked it up on the regular website.

i've ordered something from them before. i don't remember what. there are a few realy big chess stores online. The Chess Store, Chesshouse, and maybe another one. Haven't had any problems so far.

Okay, thanks for letting me know!

I've ordered their roll up vinyl board (green) and a large brown tournament bag, and a few small items like scorebooks and stuff.  I found their customer service to be very good and the quality of the items I have purchaced is excelent.

I'm considering buying their Crown plastic series set too,  to replace my HOS Marshal.

I am begining to prefer TCS over HOS.  

Search the forums here and you will find several people who have been quite satitsfied with TCS.  There are a few who are  dissatisfied with HOS.

I recommend TCS to you, but I have not bought any of their wooden products yet, so i can't comment on that.  However, they look nice.

Sam97, I bought a tournament set from them recently. The bad: they deliver 3 black rooks and 1 black knight! The good: they immediately sent out a new knight with no cost to me when I told them about it.

Certainly their selection is second to none. I used to use www.wholesalechess.com, but they don't have the upper quality boards and pieces like TCS does.

Now you (AaronShaverPDX)  have an extra black rook, cut it in half with a band saw and make a couple of refrigerator  magnets with it!

 

Or drill it, string it and call it a Christmas tree ornament.  I'd take a pic of a couple of plastic knights that are now tree ornaments, but they're packed away with the Christmas decorations.

Sam97

lol Aaron.... That's sort of cool actually... But then I'd have to wait another week to play on it...

This set looks nice, lovely wooden pieces Smile, I'm sure if you phoned up the company and checked how they accepted payments it should help you make a decision, paypal seems to be a safe option Smile.

They take credit card, so I did that...

You can turn an entire set of chess pieces into two fridge chess sets, one for the position, the other for your analysis.
