My product arrived on the date promised. It was very well packaged and obviously not manhandled or damaged in transit. The chess board that I purchased from Regency Chess looks amazing with my 5.75 inch chess set standing tall.
Would definitely recommend!

Delighted with Product and Service

Order arrived next day - very impressed. Was superbly well packaged but inexplicably a white rook was damaged. Sent photo and email and received response in a couple of hours. Replacement rook arrived next day. Absolutely delighted with service and quality of chess set. This is my 3rd order from Regency and I’m happy to recommend them both for service and quality of product.

Julian and his team are an absolute delight. They were knowledgeable and answered all my questions with enthusiasm and professionalism. I finally purchased a Garvi set of rosewood and walnut pieces and a suitable board to match. The quality is sensational and I now have a set on which I will have hours of fun...the bonus is an appreciating asset and family heirloom. It is exciting to be part of the current chess revival... thrilled to say the least and highly recommended...the best.

Brilliant customer service

I purchased a chess board and pieces, the whole lot being quite expensive. The quality of board and pieces was excellent. A few weeks later though our new puppy chewed three of the pieces. I contacted Regency to see if I could purchase 3 new pieces. They sent them at no charge. Without doubt this is the best customer service I've encountered in years. I highly recommend this company.

Thank you Regency Chess

Thank you Regency Chess, after a good look at the website, then a discussion on the phone, I was able to choose and order a combination of board and chess pieces for my son's 40th birthday. The order came almost the next day extremely well packaged. It was just as I had hoped and so am very pleased with my purchase. I'm sure it will be even more appreciated when my son receives it. Thankyou

Great chess set

I bought the chess set because I loved to play when I was a child and after I finished watching "Das Damengambit" (dont know the English title) on Netflix I needed to buy a set. The chess set came as described and it looks great, it also looks to be high-quality. Delivery didnt take long although it came from another country.
