Buying Tips

We think that you will find the site easy to use. However, the following tips may prove helpful:

• Most of our "Theme" chess sets do not include boards. In many cases, we have supplied a list of boards that you can choose from. You can also select from any of the other boards found on the site.
  


• Each item is listed under only one category. For example, a folding wood chess set would only be listed as either a folding set or a wood set. Therefore, you may need to search more than one category to find a particular item. You might also benefit by making liberal use of the "Search" function (located near the upper right corner of most pages).
  


• Updates to the New Arrivals, Clearance, and Price Drops pages can occur at any time, so check back often.
  


• Many items that don't fit conveniently into any category are listed under Accessories. If you are having trouble locating an item, this can be a good place to look.
  


• Whenever possible, we list applicable shipping charges along side each item's description. However, it is sometimes impossible to calculate shipping costs until checkout. This means that, in some cases, you will have to add an item to your shopping cart in order to see the shipping charge (of course, you can always remove it).
  


• Items marked for Clearance sale are those that we offer at large discounts so that we can remove them from our inventory. Most of these items are new, but some may also have been returned from other customers. Before offering any returned item for sale, we thouroughly inspect for damage and completeness and extend the same return policies as we do for new products. Any items that have been returned by customers are clearly identified in the product description.
