Mine arrived today also and first impressions are fantastic. I tried to snap 5 of the yellows and only managed to break one, it took significant force and the same pressure would have also broken a cpc chip. Pretty impressive. Will be ordering more.

There are some definite quality control problems. I have some with label printing off center; some with guages or scratches or chipped. Some edge spots that look like they got into a drunken orgy... But overall these are amazing. Here's some badly lit pR0n:

 

[Dodger]

My very first set of chips! Hyped to get my game going. More pics coming

Welp - that's one way to clean off the factory dust/chalk...

 

[saleen121212]

I just wiped down the 125 I bought and checked for quality control. Notes and pics below.

1) the 25k blue chip has lots of white spots like the dye didn't cover the chip or something
2) sticker on pink chip wayyy off center
3) random black line on orange chip
4) no crown mold on half this yellow chip

Still really like them and would order more. Just will get spares to replace bad quality chips.

Welcome to Chinese quality control.

Question is, would you rather pay 75 cents a chip for higher quality, or buy an extra stack of each denom and throw out the sub-par chips?

 

[BGinGA]

Yep, don't forget that these chips are mass-produced for well under 10c each. Perfection on 100% of the chips is a totally unrealistic expectation.

If only we knew which China factory they came from .

Something in my gut tells me the price we pay Apache is well worth the aggravation of dealing with overseas factories, customs, import fees, and shipping hundreds of thousands of chips.

Based on my personal experience, very much so.

Received today. Wiped down. A few imperfections here and there, but, very pleased.

I bought them for cheap high denoms for a pieced together tourney set. They should be just fine for my purposes!!!

 

[Mr Winberg]

but the labels being printed wrong really look bad.

I agree. Maybe they used the wrong labeling gear?

 

[Lancew09]

I agree. Maybe they used the wrong labeling gear?

This is caused from being massed produced at a high speed and over time machines get out of calibration, causing labels to look like that - by the time they catch it, 50-100 chips + have been printing out of alignment. Joys of manufacturing low cost items in china! I'm sure Josh would send you some replacements if you sent him an email, this falls under the 1-3% quality issue of making 25,000+ chips.

 

[Mr Winberg]

Sorry @Lancew09, it was just a bad pun gone wrong, didn't mean to trigger an explanation.

LOL - Nah, you're good. I was just adding some insight for others to understand the process. Now, when ordering manufactured items from Germany, well..... thats a different story that = $$$$$$ lol

Not the biggest CC fan, but these are miles above the Majestics imo. The colors really do pop

I can’t wait for my mail to arrive. You guys are killing me haha. This pic is GREAT!

 

[saleen121212]

Made my wife play a heads up tourney with me, she kicked my ass, but the chips were amazing. Even she liked em

 

[BearMetal]

Now that the chips are arriving, any recommendations for how to clean the dust off of them? Compression oiling will follow, but I think the first step should be a good de-dusting.

I just wet a paper towel and wiped each one. I'll oil later

Came lightning fast! I really like them. Agenda for tomorrow is a wash in some warm soapy water following by a light oiling on Sunday!

@sheikh617! Perhaps you can oblige? Pretty please?

I'm also wondering. Can anyone post pictures of yellow in light blue and vice versa? Thanks!

Do those orange and yellow chips play well together as dirty stacks?

 

[mummel]

Can anyone confirm that the red $5s fit in the Chipco 43mm racks from Apache? Thanks.

They do, extremely tight, the red chips have the most inconsistent thickness, I ordered the Chipco racks with my chips. Some red barrels fit snuggly and others I had to push pretty firmly to get in the rack.

Ok thanks. I’d rather have it fit tight vs and extra one slipping in. Thanks.

I was going to use a bath towel.

Because you were already going to be naked and in the tub with them?
