Even though the board I purchased was delayed, I was given the option of selecting another board close to what I wanted. But I eyes was set on the one I selected, so I had to cancel my order. The s... See more

I ordered this 2 weeks ago and was told by you it would be delivered on August 12. As of today, August 17, I have not received it
Never ever again
I purchased a chess game to my home (Germany). After months nothing arrived. Then I wrote emails, no response. Luckily my bank was able to transfer the money back.
The website isn’t super user friendly
The website isn’t super user friendly. It’s like it’s on a slow server, and the style of how it shows you what’s available is out of date
I found what I wanted,
FIDE pieces
Customer service responded quickly and knowledgeably to product inquiries.
Bruh
I made my order on 12/13, it did not even ship until 12/23 which I had to do some digging to find out it even shipped, as I received no shipping confirmation email. It still has not arrived, the last I checked (by funding original order confirmation as this has been the only email I have received) it is supposed to be here 12/30. It is shipping from Massachusetts so I don’t understand why this is taking so long. I hope the product itself is worth the long wait.
Delivered on time
Delivered on time, thank you. However, ordered an "orange" board and it was more red than orange.
great set
Good selection, delivery fast (and $$ to canada)
The set looks good, but as a gift it has not been completely unwrapped
Chessboard pretty but shipping is lacking
Chessboard is very pretty, and so are the pieces. I could easily give 5 stars. But! Shipping is rather shockingly sloppy. I feel like I received a box of screws — chess pieces out of their flimsy burlap bags and rattling around. So little care for something supposedly handmade.
Too far Boston?
As a Quebecer, I first shopped for this game in Ontario with a merchant who disappointed me before. I thought that Boston, because of its proximity to Montreal and especially for the heart ties and the history we share, would be a good compromise to make purchases there. I had no idea that Boston was so far, far, far from home! The store is not responsible for the slow customs clearance, the exorbitant customs fees incurred. Some problems with Fedex, bank card recognition imbroglio, etc. Which means that the delivery almost reaches the initial cost of the game. The game is magnificent and fulfills all its promises. However, I will not make any more purchases in the USA, the experience was too expensive. (Translated from French by Google)
Everything arrived rather quickly
Everything arrived rather quickly. No complaints about box or the packaging.
It was a gift so really can’t answer
It was a gift so really can’t answer! The size is a bit smaller than I thought, esp for a man’s hands.
Beautiful product...elegant checkers…
Beautiful product...elegant checkers for an antique table
Just what I was looking for
I was in the process of designing and making wooden 4 and 3 player boards with thoughts of presenting them as gifts to friends that I enjoyed playing with. When just as my design was getting finalized, I found this company's version online. It's a little smaller than I expected, however purchasing gifts will be less effort than building them. Not as much personal pride but acceptable.
