Is pokerchips.com legit? (2 Viewers)

[GamblySmurf]

Hi. New member here. Thanks for having me.

I am in the market for a set of poker ships, and believe that the Milanos are the right chip for my game.

The site at pokerchips.com is selling them at a significantly lower price than I have found elsewhere. Are they a legit seller?

Cheaper than @MD Mike's price of $235 shipped?

EDIT: Sorry, those are sold.

OP site looks brand new... many images not up. I'd check vendors here.

$235 for how many chips?

Downtown - Five Points. Not too far.

I got my Milano’s here...
http://pokerchipmania.com/claysmith-poker-chips/milano/
.. slightly cheaper than most and included racks/case.

But not nearly the 20¢/chip of the OP. That’s the lowest I’ve seen too. Maybe place a small order and cross your fingers. Would love to hear the results.

Generally speaking, I do not trust websites that do not have a phone number or mailing address on their "Contact Us" page...

That said, it looks like the domain is still owned by Jim Blanchard...

Also, the domain info was last updated just a couple months ago in November...

So I'm guessing it's legit?
Perhaps a CPC side business?
Maybe @David Spragg can weigh in?

That is definitely a lot cheaper than I've seen everywhere else. Web site is sooooo slooooow. If they have the stuff in stock, and you get it, it would be a great deal. Let us know!

Pokerchips.com was the original website of ASM, but I thought Jim got a great offer on it so he sold the domain and changed the ASM site to Pokerchipsonline.com or something like that. That's what i recall anyhoot.

At the time Jim sold it, pokerchips dot com should have been worth a lot. If he sold it on some kind of payment contract to a sucker who offered too much and they stopped making payments, maybe ownership reverted back to him?

Where in the world is Jim Blanchard? I've never met him, but I have exchanged emails with him and purchased some killer chips from him. One of the absolute legendary figures in the poker chip game. I hope he's still rocking those molds up in Portland ME.

I had the same question! I ordered some The Mint .25 cent chips from them a week ago and the order sat in "pending approval" status for 6 days. I finally reached out to them via their contact page and got a response - turns out they were out of stock (like EVERYONE) of those chips. They cancelled my order and said they would credit my card back.

So - can't say I've had and actual purchase with them -but they were at least responsive.

I know this is an old thread, but I just ordered from them on 12/12/2024. Got my chips today. I am amazed at the quality. I had very complex artwork with shadows and fine print that I didn't think would come out very well, but the print was perfect. I emailed them previously about turn around time because I needed these by 12/20, they said they can make that date so I ordered and they did. I don't know who owns the company, but the chips shipped from Clearwater FL about 12 hours after I ordered, so they are obviously doing the printing/fulfillment from there.
Just my 2 cents as I was completely impressed with quality and turn around time.

Sounds like Chipco. Talk about going full circle...

You right, my bad. Here they are. They are themed after a video game I enjoy, so I may have borrowed some I.P..
Also, does anyone know where I can get some really high quality card decks custom made? Something akin to Gemaco casino linen cards that a lot of houses use for blackjack?

Thanks for the pics!!
