Poker Chip Shipping Tips and Tricks (5 Viewers)

[doakwolf]

If the chips are wrapped super tight in barrels and then wrapped attached to the rack and then each rack is individually padded and isolated ... Then maybe.

But the issue that I found is that when you wrap them sufficiently, they no longer truly fit inside the rack and they have to be squeezed in there, which I don't like.

Yeah and these are GPI chips in genuine Paulson racks so they fit quite tightly already as the racks are tailored to the chips.

So, mixed opinions on this one... Thoughts, @Tjislost? I might do a mock up with two racks, saran wrap tightly to the rack with paper towel between the chips and the rack and see how it feels in a box. I'd have each rack separated from one another by a sheet of cardboard and plenty of bubble wrap. I always go overboard on packaging whether it's poker chips or something else I'm selling.

Yea that sounds good. I think if it’s packaged in a way where the chips however there packed don’t move much and are surrounded by bubble wrap or something else so they don’t bang around should work so that idea sounds good.

Howdy Friends,

Is this an acceptable way to package a barrel of chips?

Personally, I would secure them together with Saran Wrap or something similar as well. I typically ship things much less valuable though, so I’m not sure what the protocol is in that regard. Foam in a box in a box seems pretty solid though

I would think that would be ok, but only if there is zero movement of the chips once packed.

Saran wrap certainly won't hurt. You want zero movement despite hours of vibrations from sorting machines, tossing packages, aircraft takeoff/landing, mail truck driving over speed bumps and potholes, and quite frankly, the possibility of this:

People can hate on USPS, but in the end, there are people involved. People make mistakes.

Agree 100%.

It is funny though that we can cut some slack for human error, but fucking self driving AI cars better not ever have even one accident.
