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

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.

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.

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)

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.
